Raymond James Petersen Jr.
Obituary
Raymond James "Jim" Petersen, Jr., passed away too young, in a private plane accident at the age of 58. Jim was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, and later became a longtime resident of Morgan Hill, California. Growing up, he attended Lakeside School, then University of Washington, and then San Jose State University, where he completed his BS in Business Administration. Jim enjoyed a career that spanned over 30 years as a principal of Rocky Mountain Sheepskin Company. His leadership in the South County Airport Pilots Association was especially meaningful to him.
An avid outdoorsman, Jim loved flying, fishing and hunting any chance he could get. Camping was his favorite type of vacation, out in nature with Uta and their beloved dogs. He will be especially remembered as a loving husband and uncle, always with a sense of mischief and humor.
He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Uta; mother, Shirley; sisters Becky (Jim) and Carrie Elin (Craig); brother David (Sabrina); nephews Dane and Logan; and nieces Jamie, Annika (Josef), Aylin and Autumn. He was preceded in death by his father, Raymond James Petersen, Sr.
