Kyle Peterson, 14, Green Bay, died Saturday evening, October 9, 2004 at a local hospital following a courageous battle against cancer. He was born on Nov. 20, 1989 in La Crosse and adopted by Neil and LeeAnn ?Kim? (Firgens) Peterson. He was confirmed at Pilgrim Lutheran Church on April 24, 2004 and graduated from 8th grade at Pilgrim Lutheran School in June. Kyle was a giving and kind-hearted young man. He always thought of others first. His interests included music and computers. He played both the piano and clarinet, and he dreamed of designing computer games some day.
