Gene Martin Peterson, 55, died March 7, 2006 at his brother's home in Wimbledon, North Dakota. On this day, our beloved brother journeyed home to eternal rest in peace.

Born October 31, 1950 in Jamestown, ND, Gene grew up in the Kensal area and attended high school at Glenfield, ND. He was employed by the North Dakota State Hospital for several years and obtained his LPN license in 1976. In 1981 he graduated from Northern Montana College with an Assoc. RN Degree. He then made his home in Portland, Oregon where he was employed with Kaiser Sunnyside Hospital for several years and most recently with Providence Medical Center.

He enjoyed traveling, playing cards and devoted most of his life to family and friends.
