It ain't that bad.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Something tells me they'll be just fine.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Wow, I didn't expect such a turnout?
I did.
My dad was a social whore.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Really.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Oh yeah, his buddies were our babysitters, uncles,
big brothers.
The man knew everybody in town,so you think he'll show?
Speaker 3 (03:28):

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Isaac, you thick fuck .

Speaker 2 (03:33):
He doesn't show up.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh really.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You really have faith in that walnut?
He has the morals of a kid onTikTok.
He probably films himselfgiving food to homeless people.
Oh look how good I am.
Somebody pat me on the back.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Whatever, I'm holding you to that bet.
Speaker 2 (03:51):

Speaker 4 (04:06):

sandwich.
Well, I immediately regretwalking over here, guys.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
We have a bet and if I lose, we name the child

Nope, I'm out.
Speaker 4 (04:38):

Speaker 5 (04:41):
Thanks for nothing, Gabe no problem.
Dickity, dickhead.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Holy shit.
I hope you realize I'm namingour baby Brenner Sandwich.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
There's no way, I'm telling you, well you, just lost
a bet, look.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
You're shitting me.
Wow, he looks like shit.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Ow, be nice, you both look like raccoons God damn,
it's my father's funeral.
Hey, you're in a holy place.
If you talk like that, again,I'm divorcing you.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
If I were only so lucky.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
You couldn't afford the child support.
You degenerate.
Quiet down, Quiet down everyone.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
We'll begin once everyone finds their seats.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Isaac started this whole fucking thing, by the way,
shh.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I don't care, just let it go.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Thank you all for coming.
Everyone, we are gathered heretoday not to mourn the death,
but to celebrate the life ofThomas Peterson.
God has taken him at a time ofhis life that was unexpected for
all of us.
We will miss Thomas, but ourburden is not as heavy as his
two boys, noah and Isaac, whoare here today to bury their
(06:07):
father.
Just five years ago, they wereburdened with the tragedy of
burying their mother, sharon.
Noah, isaac, we are all herefor you.
Your family has been a pillarin this community and you too
are our family as well.
Just know that Thomas andSharon will be joined again,
leaving their eternal love herefor eternal life in heaven.
(06:28):
I have been asked for theeulogy to be given by his son,
isaac Peterson.
I cannot think of a betterperson to give a proper speech.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Isaac, if you please.
You know I thought about givingthe stereotypical speech about
life lessons experiences.
We had funny anecdotes.
What have you?
Nobody wants to hear that.
That's every funeral.
Seems like everybody else hasthat under control.
I'm pretty sure I saw Dad'sfrat buddies in the back doing
beer bongs when I walked in.
So there's that Having a goodtime, bill.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Hell yes.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, there you go.
There's your shout-out.
I was trying to figure out whatto say here tonight while being
in a drunken stupor.
You know it's the Peterson way,I suppose, but it really didn't
work out the way I hoped.
I ended up with a broken nose,bruise on my face and a pissed
off brother.
(07:28):
What I have found out abouttrying to write a eulogy for
your own father is that weremember a great man not in
times of darkness, but weremember him in the light.
He was the epitome of a fatherteaching Noah and I a multitude
of lessons.
Thomas Peterson lived his lifenot only how he saw fit, but how
(07:49):
he wanted others to live.
A gloating man is a man who hasa minuscule portion of what
life is about.
The man who has nothing is aman who finds everything in
something.
Fear will never overpower, butmerely be motivation to stay one
step ahead, ensuring thefeeling having everything truly
(08:11):
feels like everything.
A man who has everything has nofear in letting go.
My father motivated us to bethe same Live in the moment, but
learn through your mistakes tofind a way to keep the moment
alive.
Our father was a wise man.
He was a great husband to ourmother and an even better father
(08:33):
.
One can only hope people had alife as rich as ours.
He gave us everything.
He may not have given us thematerial possessions that kid
desires, but he gave us strength, discipline, courage.
He gave us everything we neededand we gather to thank you, dad
.
Our hearts will always befilled with the love you showed
(08:54):
everyone in this room.
I hope you and Mom are happyand I wish you the best.
I'll be thinking of you, thankyou.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Thank you, Isaac.
I will now read from 1Thessalonians 4, 14 through 17.
Man Isaac did good, For sincewe believe that Jesus died and
rose again.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, he actually did .
Speaker 6 (09:20):
God will bring him those who have fallen asleep.
For this we declare to you, bythe word from our Lord, the
power of God, you okay bud.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm just letting everyone enjoythemselves.
You can join.
Nah, I'm alright.
I still need a bit.
Besides, everyone would just dothe.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I don't want to talk about it, Kirsten.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Well, what happened to your face?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I cut myself shaving.
Please stop.
You just want to lay there andwallow in your own self-pity.
Look what happened is betweenIsaac and I.
Now please just drop it.
Stop.
Don't look at me like that.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I beg your pardon.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I'm sorry, babe, I love you, I love you so much,
but this is something I have tostand very firm on.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Well, is he going to be at the funeral?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I don't give a shit at this point.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Then what the hell was the point of going to get
him?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I needed a brother.
What I brought back was afleshy patch of selfishness.
What?
My brother's not there anymore.
He only cares about himself, solet him care about himself.
I'm done.

Their daddy's funeral is just around the corner and
in the moment, death seems toremind you of your life.
It ain't that bad.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Something tells me they'll be just fine.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Wow, I didn't expect such a turnout?
I did.
My dad was a social whore.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Really.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Oh yeah, his buddies were our babysitters, uncles,
big brothers.
The man knew everybody in town,so you think he'll show?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Who.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Isaac, you thick fuck .
Think he'll be here I bet youthe baby's name.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
He doesn't show up.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh really.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You really have faith in that walnut?
He has the morals of a kid onTikTok.
He probably films himselfgiving food to homeless people.
Oh look how good I am.
Somebody pat me on the back.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Whatever, I'm holding you to that bet.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Deal Jerry Reed Peterson, if it's a boy.

It's your father's funeral,quit yelling.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Hasn't even started.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
He's not going to play your little game.
Anyway, this is where you wantto be when Jesus comes back.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I'd rather be in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Okay good luck with that Yo ho ho bro-stachios Gabe

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Gabe, please don't humor him.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
No, just answer the question.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
sandwich.
Well, I immediately regretwalking over here, guys.
What's this about?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
We have a bet and if I lose, we name the child
fucking Brenner.
Nope, I'm out.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Ha told you it was worth a try.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Thanks for nothing, Gabe no problem.
Dickity, dickhead.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Holy shit.
I hope you realize I'm namingour baby Brenner Sandwich.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
There's no way, I'm telling you, well you, just lost
a bet, look.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
You're shitting me.
Wow, he looks like shit.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Ow, be nice, you both look like raccoons God damn,
it's my father's funeral.
Hey, you're in a holy place.
If you talk like that, again,I'm divorcing you.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
If I were only so lucky.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
You couldn't afford the child support.
You degenerate.
Quiet down, Quiet down everyone.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
We'll begin once everyone finds their seats.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Isaac started this whole fucking thing, by the way,
shh.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I don't care, just let it go.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Thank you all for coming.
Everyone, we are gathered heretoday not to mourn the death,
but to celebrate the life ofThomas Peterson.
God has taken him at a time ofhis life that was unexpected for
all of us.
We will miss Thomas, but ourburden is not as heavy as his
two boys, noah and Isaac, whoare here today to bury their
(06:07):
father.
Just five years ago, they wereburdened with the tragedy of
burying their mother, sharon.
Noah, isaac, we are all herefor you.
Your family has been a pillarin this community and you too
are our family as well.
Just know that Thomas andSharon will be joined again,
leaving their eternal love herefor eternal life in heaven.
(06:28):
I have been asked for theeulogy to be given by his son,
isaac Peterson.
I cannot think of a betterperson to give a proper speech.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Isaac, if you please.
You know I thought about givingthe stereotypical speech about
life lessons experiences.
We had funny anecdotes.
What have you?
Nobody wants to hear that.
That's every funeral.
Seems like everybody else hasthat under control.
I'm pretty sure I saw Dad'sfrat buddies in the back doing
beer bongs when I walked in.
So there's that Having a goodtime, bill.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Hell yes.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, there you go.
There's your shout-out.
I was trying to figure out whatto say here tonight while being
in a drunken stupor.
You know it's the Peterson way,I suppose, but it really didn't
work out the way I hoped.
I ended up with a broken nose,bruise on my face and a pissed
off brother.
(07:28):
What I have found out abouttrying to write a eulogy for
your own father is that weremember a great man not in
times of darkness, but weremember him in the light.
He was the epitome of a fatherteaching Noah and I a multitude
of lessons.
Thomas Peterson lived his lifenot only how he saw fit, but how
(07:49):
he wanted others to live.
A gloating man is a man who hasa minuscule portion of what
life is about.
The man who has nothing is aman who finds everything in
something.
Fear will never overpower, butmerely be motivation to stay one
step ahead, ensuring thefeeling having everything truly
(08:11):
feels like everything.
A man who has everything has nofear in letting go.
My father motivated us to bethe same Live in the moment, but
learn through your mistakes tofind a way to keep the moment
alive.
Our father was a wise man.
He was a great husband to ourmother and an even better father
(08:33):
.
One can only hope people had alife as rich as ours.
He gave us everything.
He may not have given us thematerial possessions that kid
desires, but he gave us strength, discipline, courage.
He gave us everything we neededand we gather to thank you, dad
.
Our hearts will always befilled with the love you showed
(08:54):
everyone in this room.
I hope you and Mom are happyand I wish you the best.
I'll be thinking of you, thankyou.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Thank you, Isaac.
I will now read from 1Thessalonians 4, 14 through 17.
Man Isaac did good, For sincewe believe that Jesus died and
rose again.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, he actually did .
Speaker 6 (09:20):
God will bring him those who have fallen asleep.
For this we declare to you, bythe word from our Lord, the
power of God, you okay bud.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm just letting everyone enjoythemselves.
You can join.
Nah, I'm alright.
I still need a bit.
Besides, everyone would just dothe.

Speaker 7 (13:14):
