In loving memory of

Peter Carl Nolin
July 11, 2010 - January 2, 2013

Peter Carl Nolin of Prairie City, IA, passed away Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013 peacefully at home, surrounded by loved ones. He was the son of Daniel Nolin and Janna Hansen, and the brother of Gus. He was born July 11, 2010 in Des Moines, IA.

Pete was the grandson of Michael and Dianna Nolin of Monroe, IA, and John and Francine Hansen of Moline, IL. Great-grandparents are Gene and Marjorie Nolin of Monroe, Lavina Leveke of Des Moines, and Helen Johnston of East Moline, IL. His Godparents are Kirk and Erin Hansen of Moline.

Special friends are too numerous to list specifically, but Jodi Johnson and family, the Wilson families, and Sharon Doolittle, all of Prairie City, played a very important role in his life. The support from his team at Heartland Area Education Agency and the palliative and hospice nurses from Iowa Home Health Care were extremely valuable and helpful.

Petey was a sweet, bright, handsome, happy and brave little boy who brought joy to all who met him. His shining spirit will be missed by all.

Services will be held Friday, 1/4/13 at 11:00 am at Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church, Prairie City, IA. Visitation will be held Saturday, 1/5/13 from 2:00-5:00 pm at the Coburn Funeral Home in Prairie City, IA.

"Dear family of Peter, I am so sorry for the loss of this precious little boy. At tragic times like this , grieving ones need comfort. and the Bible is the best place to find it. -Romans 15:4. says that "through our comfort from the scriptures, we might have hope" The true God, Jehovah, shows us in the Bible,that soon his son, Jesus ,will perform the greatest miracle, that of the resurrection of the dead.-John 5:28,29. . The Bible teaches that very soon, there will be no more death on the earth. You can read from your Bible at Revelation 21:4 that marvelous future hope for the human family."
