Daniel Petersen Obituary

With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Daniel Petersen (Madison, Wisconsin), who passed away on September 28, 2025. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Daniel Petersen to pay them a last tribute.

In the quiet moments of reflection, amidst the gentle rustle of leaves and the whispered song of the stars, we shall carry Daniel's memory with us, a guiding light illuminating the path ahead. May Daniel's journey be filled with peace and serenity, and may he find rest in the embrace of eternity.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Bern Petersen (Kerivan) and Charles Petersen; his son Mark Petersen (Charlotte); his grandchildren, Sage and Lars; his great grandchild Doug Petersen (Michelle); Max and Emma.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, October 11th 2025 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the Cress Funeral & Cremation Service - Madison (3610 Speedway Rd, Madison, WI 53705). A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, October 11th 2025 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the same location.

It's fitting, perhaps, that a man who understood how to manage resources so well asked that instead of flowers, folks might send a donation to The Empty Stocking Club (https://www.emptystockingclub.com.) because Dan knew that true wealth is measured in how many lives you've touched for the better.
