Besides his loving wife, Eve, he was predeceased by his parents, his younger brother Ronald Peterson and his grandson Christian Doll.
Reg was born on July 30, 1940 in Lethbridge, Alberta, the first child of Wilford Kay Peterson and Mary Powell Peterson. He was raised in Cranford and Warner, AB. After farming several years near Warner, Reg became a salesman for a large farm implement dealership. He later moved the Lethbridge, where he owned a copying machine company called “Copystat”. Reg and his wife Eve, worked together to build Eve’s bookkeeping business “Y-Comm Services”, which they ran successfully until retirement. He also maintained several real estate holdings and dabbled in car sales.
Reg was a no-nonsense man who enjoyed life. He worked hard, always taking pride in what he was doing. He was known for his infectious laugh, which served him well in his salesmen roles as well as making it easy to find him in a crowd. His greatest joy was watching and participating the lives of his grandchildren; he was always ready and willing to travel for a volleyball or hockey game even though he knew nothing of either sport! He enjoyed travelling with Eve, among his favorites were memorable trips on an Alaskan Cruise and Costa Rica.
In most recent years, he enjoyed the company and camaraderie of his “Coffee Crew” at the South Mayor Magrath Tim Hortons, where you could find him at least twice a day.
Reg will be dearly missed by all who knew him, but will be welcomed with open arms by this wife and grandson.
A Celebration of Reg’s life will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2825 – 32 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, March 15, 2025 at 11:00 A.M.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation (heartandstroke.ca)

Our sympathies to all of the family
Dear Josie, Mikka, Clayton, Kim and Family, We were so saddened to hear of your Dear Dad and Grandpas passing. He was such an encouragement to all he met, and had coffee with. Paul will really miss his coffee buddy! The main concern of Reg’s, was that his family and friends accept Jesus Christ as their own personal Lord and Saviour. Reg wants to see you all in heaven where he is now, enjoying his time with his family, and most of all the one he dearly loved - Jesus Christ himself.
