Ronnie Petersen

Ronnie Petersen, 35, of Silverdale, WA, succumbed to Duchenne 's muscular dystrophy on April 12, 2018 after a prolonged battle with the disease. Ronnie was born on March 24, 1983 in Bremerton, WA to Ronald and Darlene (Eaton) Petersen. He went on to graduate from Olympic High School in 2001.

Ronnie was an avid collector of comics, Marvel and DC memorabilia and everything/anything Star Wars. He even named his pets after Star Wars characters, his Maine coon kitty is named Luke and his chinchilla was Yoda.

Ronnie was a movie and gaming buff, proud owner of nearly every gaming console since the original Atari.

Ronnie was involved with and closely followed the animal conservation movement, specifically with wolves and orcas. One year he sponsored a wolf pack and another time an individual wolf.

He was also a lover of cats. Ronnie was a fan of baseball and football, but was a particularly loyal Seahawks fan and picked Russell Wilson out as a star player his rookie year, even requesting his official jersey for Christmas that year.

Ronnie's memory will live on with his parents; sisters, Melanie Deal (Jason) and Sherry Petersen; nieces, Amanda Dahl and Emily White; nephews, Logan and Leland Deal; grandnephew, Corbin White; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
