Charles “Pete” L. Peterson went home to Jesus on July 28, 2025. He was born in North Dakota on Oct. 16, 1961, and raised in Washington. His favorite job over the years was with Sorenson Transport in Chehalis. He loved the company and the people he worked for and with. He worked 23 years for Sorenson’s and received several awards.
He met and married Dorothy Fasano in May 2000. It broke his heart when she passed away in November 2024.
Pete was a people person and problem solver. He was always there to help others, and he took good care of us. Family game night was important to him. His competitive spirit took over when it came to cards and dice. He was very funny.
He leaves behind his siblings: David, Debbie, Michelle (Rick), Chris (Tina) and Sandy (Marcus); other close family Renee and Lydia and children Desarae and Chuck. He was preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy, and parents, Allen Peterson and Margaret Davis.
We have struggled with his sudden passing but are so thankful for the years we had. Pete will be dearly missed by so many.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, Oct. 2, at 11 a.m. at Claquato Cemetery in Chehalis. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be sent to the charity of your choice.
