Lamar Jerome Peterson

Lamar Jerome Peterson, born on December 26, 1979, in Plainfield, NJ, passed away peacefully on April 17, 2026, in Overland Park, KS, at the age of 46. He fought bravely against kidney disease, a battle that ended with his passing, but not without leaving behind a legacy of love and devotion.

Lamar was a dedicated and present father who never missed his children's activities. He was fiercely protective, fiercely loyal, and loved his family more than anything. His unwavering commitment to his children and family was evident in every aspect of his life.

Lamar owned and operated his own lawn care business, a testament to his work ethic and passion. His interests were varied, yet all centered around the love for his family: attending his children’s sports activities, spoiling his kids, spending cherished moments with family, indulging in gaming, and nurturing his lawn care business.

He is survived by his loving wife, Jenny Yenser, his beloved children, Jordan Peterson and Maya Peterson, his brothers, Jerome Rogers and William Rogers, and his father, Bill Rogers. Lamar also leaves behind a host of aunts and cousins who will continue to cherish his memory. He was preceded in death by his mother, Forestine Rogers, and his sister, Maya Rogers.

In honoring Lamar's wishes, no public services will be held. Instead, there will be a private viewing for close friends and family. Lamar's light will truly be missed by all who knew him, leaving a lasting impact on everyone he touched. His devotion as a father and his boundless love for his family will forever be remembered and cherished.
