Summary
Brent Peterson, a beloved NHL defenseman and former first-round draft pick for the Detroit Red Wings, has died after a courageous 23-year battle with Parkinson’s disease. Diagnosed in 2002 while coaching the Nashville Predators, he turned his personal struggle into a powerful mission — co-founding the Peterson Foundation for Parkinson’s in 2009 to support patients and families. A standout defender known for his grit and penalty-killing prowess, Brent also became a beacon of hope and humor, leaving an indelible mark on hockey and the Parkinson’s community through his kindness, resilience, and unwavering advocacy.
