Klaus's obituary
Klaus dedicated his life to entrepreneurship, transformed the confectionery industry being nicknamed "The Candyman", and passed down his passion for travel, adventure, music, photography, and creativity to his children and grandchildren. His favorite exclamation was "Carpe Diem".
Klaus is survived by his son, Sven; his daughters, Stefanie and Vanessa; and four Grandchildren. Klaus is predeceased by his beloved wife, Viviane Petersen; his mother, Hedwig Petersen; his father, Sven Petersen; and his sister, Christa Petersen.
As was his wish, a service will be held privately among his immediate family members.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Klaus' name to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) https://donate.lls.org/lls/do…
