Calvin Peterson, Sr. passed away on Tuesday August 8, 2020 just four days after his thirty-first birthday. The only son of Yvonne Peterson, Calvin was a funny kid growing up and was loved by his family. He enjoyed being outside. His mannerisms were such that we used to call him a nerd. Calvin could be visiting with you one minute and gone the next minute. He was a free spirit. Calvin had great examples of how to be respectful and the importance of family and honoring God demonstrated by the lives of his grandparents, aunts, and uncles. As a child, he was brought to church and accepted Christ at a young age. Calvin attended Gretna Elementary School and graduated from O. Perry Walker High School with a 4.0 average and received a full scholarship to attend Nunez Community College in Chalmette, LA in their Applied Technology and Industrial Engineering Technology/Logistics program. Deciding Engineering was not for him, Calvin became employed with the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans. Calvin was preceded in death by his grandparents, Owen Sr. and Elouise Peterson; uncles Willie Peterson, Owen Peterson, Jr., Percy Peterson and Michael Peterson; aunts Catherine Peterson Powe, Truman “Trudy” Peterson Mitchell, Marilyn Peterson Phillips, Payola Peterson King, and Annie Gene Milsap.
