Rusty's family would like to thank his Clackamus Ward family for all their love, support, and service, especially Bishop Tyler Hornibrook, Nick Browne, and Kristinya Birch. He is also survived by sisters-in-law Becky Petersen and Brenda Petersen. He is survived by his beloved daughters Anabel and Elsa Petersen, and his siblings David (Raylene), DeAnn (David), Scott (Marilyn), and Renee (Steve). Rusty was preceded in death by his infant daughter, Louise parents, Ronald and Charlene Petersen and two brothers, Doug and Mark, who also passed away too early due to cancer. Prior to his passing, he served in the bishopric of the Clackamus, Oregon Ward. He loved his ward family, serving the youth, and especially loved watching his young daughters begin developing testimonies of their own. He loves them deeply and is anxiously awaiting the day they will be reunited.įour years ago, Rusty made the deliberate choice to make serious changes in his life and to follow the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. His sacrifices included undergoing multiple surgeries and rounds of chemo and radiation-all to extend his time with his girls. Rusty diligently taught his daughters to love their Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ, and to extend love, kindness, and respect to others. Rusty married Becky Mees in 2004, and although they later divorced, from that union came his beautiful daughters, Anabel and Elsa. The missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Clackamas area were regular and grateful recipients of his culinary offerings. He entertained many who loved both his cooking and conversation. Rusty had many hobbies his favorite was his ability to cook and grill. He was an excellent provider for his family. Rusty taught his associates the value of teamwork: great results are the product of great relationships. Before Rusty's health issues forced him to take a leave of absence, he was employed as a Senior Project Manager. He began his career as a CNA, worked his way up in human resources, and eventually found employment with ADP, where he worked for 18 years. Rusty learned the value of hard work from his parents. He loved the climate, the culture, and especially the people.

On a lark, at the age of 21, Rusty made his way to the Portland, Oregon area, which became his home for 28 years.

Rusty graduated from Layton High School in 1989, and was soon on his own, learning many of life's lessons through the school of experience. He had many interests and talents, one of them being a love of drama and musical theater, which he inherited from his father. Rusty endured many trials in life, the first was brain surgery at just six weeks old. Rusty was born on October 11, 1971, to goodly parents, Ronald L. On the evening of March 20, 2022, Russell (Rusty) Brent Petersen, completed his mortal mission and passed through the veil after a four-year battle with cancer.
