My name is Zach Petersen and I am helping raise funds on behalf of my father and my family.

My father, Chad Petersen, was involved in a tragic accident where an individual blatantly caused trauma that resulted in a brain injury which prematurely deteriorated Chad's life.

To put it frank, my father was murdered at the hands of another man.

Chad Petersen is 55 years old and nearing the end of his life after a long journey marked by trauma and hardship. Despite everything he faced, he remained a human being deserving of care, compassion, and dignity.

Chad is a loving father, brother, Uncle, son, cousin and grandfather. He is Left behind by all of the loved ones that care for him. We simply ask that in this time of hardship you help guide us through the righteous path by prayers or sharing this GoFundMe.

We are asking for help to cover end-of-life and related expenses, so his entire family can focus on being with him during this final chapter without the added weight of financial stress.

Any support—donations, shares, or kind words—means the world to us. Thank you for helping us show him love and grace during this time.
