Kevin Raymond Peterson
August 19, 1956 - April 3, 2016
We lost our rough and tough, warm and fuzzy, Kevin "K.P." unexpectedly on a dark night April 3, 2016. He was born August 19, 1956 to George Raymond "Juddy" Peterson and Barbara Lynn Curtis in Tooele, UT, and had one sister – his best friend, Laurie Lynn Peterson. Kevin graduated from Cottonwood High 1974, and had a 30-year career working with Staker Parson Companies. He was looking forward to enjoying retirement soon.
One of Kevin's greatest joys in life was his four-legged family, the Shih Tzu's: His Sabrina and Katrina. He will be missed by the many who knew him and the paths of friends along the way, including his gym buddies, work buddies, bar buddies, and the golf league he played with in prior years. But, no one will miss him more than the small circle of friends and extended family that he continued to make laugh with his endless jokes and pranks.
He was preceded in death by his loving mother Barb, and his Sabrina.
Kevin:
"Who Loves Ya Baby!"
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 9, 2016 from 6:00 to 8:00pm at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City.
In lieu of flowers please consider donations to Best Friends Animal Society or Humane Society of Utah.

Kevin, I'm gonna miss you pal. I really enjoyed having you on my crew. You could change my attitude in a second when I heard you laugh. You could mumble all day and I knew you was just venting and that would make me smile, even if I had to hide it for a while. Thank you for everything you've done and for being you. I know you didn't get lost looking for that last address. Godspeed my friend.

K.P. It won't be the same without you. Your infectious laugh, your late phone calls, and the pranks you loved to pull on all of us. Give our moms one of your bear hugs and kiss sweet Sabrina for me. I'll help watch over Laurie for you. Until we meet again. I love ya baby!!!

So very sorry to hear the news. May you all gain comfort by knowing that God care and promise to bring to a end sickness, pain, even death.(Revelation 21:3,4 ) As we await this promise and many more may we use this time to draw ever closer to God. May your faith in this promise strength you all for the days ahead.

Dear Laurie: I miss Kevin every second and am not digesting this well at all. He kept calling saying "when are we getting back together". I thought there was time! You two were so close and he adored you. He's with your mom and another little one! I'm so sorry Laurie......I know your heart is cracked in two. I love Kevin and have wonderful memories and many pictures. Amore' Leslie Ann
