Honouring the Life of Royce Peterson ❤️
When Royce Bernard Peterson passed away on July 11, 2026, at the age of 90, his family chose to honour his life in a way that reflected something very close to his heart: caring for children and families. In lieu of flowers, they invited friends and loved ones to make memorial donations to Ken Sargent House.
For the Peterson family, these gifts became a way to turn grief into gratitude, honouring Royce’s life, the people who cared for him, and the opportunity to help other families through difficult days.
Royce spent more than 30 years farming near Bonanza with his wife, Gladys, and together they raised two daughters. He was remembered for his strong values, sense of humour, willingness to lend a hand and, most importantly, his love of family. He also held a special place in his heart for children.
That legacy will now continue through Ken Sargent House.
Memorial gifts made in Royce’s honour will help provide a welcoming, affordable home away from home for patients and families travelling to Grande Prairie for medical care, giving them a place to rest, share a meal and stay close to one another when they need it most.
To the Peterson family, and to everyone who made a gift in Royce’s memory, thank you for choosing to turn remembrance into comfort, compassion and care. His story will now become part of the story of Ken Sargent House. ❤️
