Gyle Herman Peterson
August 31, 1954 — December 1, 2018
Gyle Herman Peterson, 64, Fargo, died Saturday, December 1, in Sanford Medical Center.
Gyle was born August, 31, 1954 in Fargo, ND to Lyle M. and Shirley D. (Peterson) Peterson. He was born with Muscular Dystrophy and wasn’t expected to live to be a teenager. He was home schooled through the 8th grade, but he continued to learn new things. Gyle was a go getter and was always finding ways to earn some money. He had a special computer he operated with his thumb.
Gyle wrote articles for the Fargo “Guide” magazine and even a manuscript. It was his way of communicating and keeping up with the happenings around him. Gyle enjoyed playing cards and going to Texan Hold “Em Tournaments. He enjoyed family and friends stopping by to visit. He really enjoyed his trip to Las Vegas with his caregivers.
After his parents passed, he continued to live in the family home with 24-hour caregivers. He loved decorating outside his home for Halloween and Christmas with his “girls” doing the work. He enjoyed seeing the kids in their costumes.
Gyle’s caregivers meant so much to him and became his second family. They often came back to see him even when they moved on to other jobs.
Gyle is survived by his brother, Bob (Sylvia) Peterson; niece, Stacy Allen; great-niece, Brittany (Tony) and Maddie and Makenna Bogenreif all of Breckenridge, MN; aunts and uncles, Duane and Joanne Peterson, Jerry and Julie Peterson, Fargo; Nancy Walker, New Hope, MN and Janis Claus, Milnor, ND; many cousins, and Blanche Braasch, special family friend and “second Mom”, West Fargo.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Lyle and Shirley Peterson and his sister, Diane; grandparents, Gilman and Ella Peterson and Herman and Edlin Peterson.
Funeral Service: Friday, December 7 at 11:00 am at Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home.
Visitation: Thursday, December 6 from 5:00-7:00 pm with a prayer service at 7:00 pm at Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home, Fargo.
