Edward Allen Peterson

Edward Allen Peterson, 75, of Coeur d’Alene, ID passed away on October 4, 2024 at the Schneidmiller Hospice House in Coeur d’Alene. Edward was born on August 12, 1949 in Kellogg, ID, a son of the late Edward and Delores (Hunter) Peterson.

Ed graduated from Kootenai High School and then enlisted in the US Navy. He married Jo Ann Peterson on August 20, 2005. Ed worked at Bunker Hill Mine for many years until his retirement in.

Ed enjoyed spending time outdoors any chance he could. When his boys were growing up, he always took them camping and fishing. You could find him mowing the yard, splitting wood, relaxing on the porch in the fresh air, or working on a car outside even in the middle of winter. He also enjoyed doing DIY projects around the house and was also known to have a piece of chocolate cake every evening before going to bed.

Ed loved his friends and family with all of his heart. He put them first and himself last. He was ready and willing to help anyone out, whether he knew them or not, and treated everyone good regardless of who you were. He was a devoted Redskins and Seahawks football fan and enjoyed playing poker and cribbage.

In addition to his parents, Ed is preceded in death by his son, Aaron Peterson; grandson, Ethan Kilbourne; step-son, Chad Lee; and brother, Ray Peterson.

Survivors include his wife, Jo Ann Peterson; his sons, Dusty (Amy) Peterson and Derek Peterson; grandchildren, Wade Peterson, Lilly Peterson, Gabe Kilbourne, Elayna Kilbourne, and Brooklyn Lee; a brother, Jeff (Gloria) Peterson; a sister, Colleen (Don) Cochrane; and two step-children, Jared Lee and Mindy Kilbourne.

At his request, cremation has taken place and a memorial service is being planned for a later date.
