Leon Peterson, 69, loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend, passed away Nov. 17, 2004 peacefully in the home he and his son built together and loved in Congress.

He was born Aug. 15, 1935 to Edward V. Peterson and Helen Oliver Sagendorf in Sandy, Utah.

He is survived by children Dale Leon Peterson of Sandy, Utah, Tamara Sue Brand (Jeff) of West Valley, Utah, stepchildren Kirk R. Jensen (Wendy) of Sandy, Utah, and Cheri J. Zundel (Dan) of Salt Lake City, Utah; grandchildren Alisha, Michael, Christina and Jessica; and great-grandchildren Nathan and Canyon; brother Kenneth Peterson (Marlene) of Bountiful, Utah; and his parents.

Early in his career, he was a truck driver for Associated foods. He then worked as a salesman for Henry S. Day Ford dealership and finished his career as a foreman with Associated Foods.

At 55 years old, he retired to travel with his wife and work at his real talent - creating beautiful wood crafts. He enjoyed traveling around selling his woodcrafts and walking his second love, his dog Corky.

He will be loved and missed by many.

We love you Daddy!
