Biography Information
Bodee Lane Peterson, 9, of Hudson, formerly of Corvallis, Oregon, died at Covenant Medical Center Wednesday, August 17, 2011, in a waterskiing accident.
Bodee was born May 5, 2002, in Corvallis, Oregon, the son of Ryan and Heather Smith Peterson. He was entering the 4th grade at Hudson Elementary School. Bodee was involved in the Waterhawks Ski Club, Pop Warner Tackle Football, Cedar Valley Soccer. He was dedicated at the Calvary Chapel Corvallis and was attending the Community Church of Hudson
Bodee is survived by his parents Ryan and Heather Peterson of Hudson, IA; sister Abigale Peterson; brother Tanner Peterson; paternal grandparents Harold and Kathy Peterson of Modesto, CA; maternal grandfather: C.D. and Mary Smith, Midland, TX; maternal grandmother Sandra and Mike Farley of Modesto, CA; paternal great grandparents Harold and Berniece Peterson of Turlock, CA; aunt Jill (John) Downey of Modesto, CA; uncle Donnie (Chantel) Smith of Joplin, MO; aunt Cindi Byrd of Modesto, CA; uncle Chad(Belinda) Peterson, Modesto, CA; uncle Marc (Nicole) Peterson, Modesto, CA.
Bo came into this world fearless and full of life. In his 9 years, he taught his family and others to love harder, share more, be friendly to all and help others. Bodee loved life, loved to be with friends and absolutely loved being on the water with other Waterhawks every moment he could. It is difficult to put into words what Bo meant to his family, relatives, friends, classmates, neighbors and fellow athletes. He has left a gaping hole in our hearts that will never be full again. We love you, Buddy, and cannot wait until we see you and Jesus, side-by-side.
A Bodee Peterson Memorial Waterhawk Ski Show will be held Sunday night at 6 p.m. at

Dear Peterson Family, Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloguently than 10,000 tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love." -- Washington Irving. May you find comfort and peace in cherished memories.

Bodee's spirit and spunk were a highlight of my day, I loved his embarrassed smile when I would greet him on the walk to or from school. Sam was so impressed by his and Payton's dance routine at the Variety show that it almost encouraged him to get on stage next year. The strength and bravery shown by your family inspires me and I know you will continue to be lifted up by your friends and family through this most difficult time. Nine years is not long enough but I know his spirit will always be with you.

Our deepest condolences are with you in your time of grief. May you continue to find comfort in the memories that you all shared together and get comfort from knowing one day Sickness will be no more and Death will be a thing of the past. In times of grief such as these, We find it comforting to meditate on the words found in the Holy Writings at Job 14:14, 15. Job expressed his faith that God would bring him back to life if he should fall asleep in death as he said: All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait, until my relief comes. You will call, and I myself shall answer you." The scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunite with your loved one in the near future, right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions. Psalms 37:10, 11 offers us this promise. My sincere condolences to your entire family.

There are no words to tell you how very sorry we are for the loss of Bodee. He never walked over to our house, he came running up at 110 mph with a huge grin on his face asking if Ben was home. Ben will always have the memories of him and Bodee playing soccer, or the neighborhood baseball games, having nerf gun wars, or flying down our street or yours on their scooters. He made a very huge impact on all of the Kelly's since we meant a few short years ago. He will always be in our hearts and we know he is looking down on us as an Angel in Heaven.

I will never forget the first day of work; walking in and seeing BoBo sitting there eating his fruit snacks. He was adorable and I instantly fell in love with him. Some people have office pets. No... Not us... we had better. We had an office toddler who loved to help! You will never be forgotten Bodee. My prayers go to you, Ryan, Heather, Abbi, and Tanner as you struggle through the loss of your son/brother. I love you guys and I pray that Jesus gives you the comfort and peace you need to get through each day.

Dear Heather,Ryan,Abbey & Tanner,
I drive past the house on Roosevelt and think of Bodee and the tragic loss that took him away from you. I am so saddened by what has happened. I just pray and pray for you all to be surrounded by God's comfort and pray for Bodee's spirit. I remember him around the neighborhood always on a skateboard, bike or something active....running down the Hoover path...always in front of everyone else. God has him in his arms...and one day you will also hold him in your arms again. It has been said this life is just a blink of an eye compared to infinity. May you be strengthened by all those who love you and are pouring that love out to you.

I am heart sick to hear about Bodie and my prayers are with you all. What a wonderful little boy he was and such a joy to teach. He had such a sparkle in his eye, a mischeivious grin and a sweet soul. He was focused during class and tackled any challenge that came his way but of course, recess was his favorite part of the day. Please, know that all of you, Heather, Ryan, Abbey and Tanner will remain in my heart and thoughts, no matter how many miles separate us.
