Michael Frederick Petersen
September 24, 1941 — September 16, 2015
Michael Fredrick Petersen, 74 of Bremerton, Washington died September 16, 2015 at the Retsil Veterans Home in Port Orchard, Washington. Mike, or Pete as he was known to some, was born on September 24th, 1941 in Clear Lake Iowa to George and June Petersen.
Mike spent his life devoted to his Wife, his Children and his Country.
Married to Joanne Carol Boddy Horn on March 24, 1971, he took on the new role of Dad to three young children, Karrie (Horn) McGuirk, Kenneth Horn and Susan (Horn) Simms, providing love and guidance to them throughout their lives.
In 1973, Mike was blessed with a Daughter, June (Petersen) Blaser. June was his pride and his joy. He was a wonderful, nurturing Father, and a Daddy's guiding hand throughout her life.
During Mike and Joanne's 44 years of marriage they spent their time enjoying each other's company, whether it was hunting, fishing, taking road trips or simply sitting and talking. They never tired of each other's company and their relationship was filled with humor, love and laughter.
A 100% Disabled Veteran, Mike proudly devoted 22 years of service to the US Navy as a Machinist Mate and gave it his all, retiring as a Chief Petty Office (CPO). His gift to his country will always be remembered and appreciated.
In addition to his Wife and Children, Mike leaves behind a Sister, Susan Schmalfelt of Grand Junction, Iowa and Grandchildren Brandon Hurlburt, Jacob Horn, James Peterson, Kelly (Horn) Baker, Rachael (Simms) Larson, Melanie (Simms) Alexander, Carina (Cordova) Neale and Matthew Dentinger. Other grandchildren include Brandon Tilton, April Muns, Chanelle Highly, James Blaser and nine Great Grandchildren.
Our family will not be the same without you. You are much loved and will be dearly missed.
Graveside services will be on Friday, September 25, 2015 at 2:00 pm at the Port Orchard Veterans Cemetery on the west side, at the intersection of Olney Ave SE and SE Horstman Rd, Port Orchard, WA. A gathering for friends and family will follow at Mike and Joanne’s home.
