UPDATE: Monroe County sheriff’s deputies say Randy Peterson, 40 from Pittsford, is the name of the bicyclist who was struck and killed in Perinton on Sunday night.

Elisa Peterson, Randy Peterson’s wife, made the following statement about her husband:

“He was a wonderful person and great father and husband. A true family man full of love. Even though he was only 40 years old I was thankful to have had him for over 20 of them. We would’ve been married 20 years this July and we have four beautiful children. Ethan 21, Gabby 18, Hailey 14, and Evan is 10. This tragedy has caused our family and friends great suffering and obviously no amount of money could ever replace such a wonderful person. We were currently in the process of moving to a more suitable location.  Randy was actually riding his bike from the store because we don’t have a car right now. I knew something was wrong before anyone told me, and suddenly the police arrived and we were hit with the horrible news that he was killed immediately after being struck by two motor vehicles. …”

A fundraising effort has been launched to help Peterson’s family.

On Sunday, just before 6:50 p.m., the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office went to the intersection of Pittsford-Palymyra Road and Courtney Drive in the Town of Perinton for the report of a bicyclist who was hit by a car.
