Today, the Ranch took a moment to pause and remember our dear friend, Vice Admiral Brian Peterman.

To the Ranch Family, Brian was so much more than his distinguished service—he was one of us. A proud member of the Will McLean Foundation, a talented musician, a dedicated volunteer, and a true leader.

Brian, alongside Allie, became a cherished part of our traditions—especially in the Ranch Kitchen, where for many years they helped prepare and serve our Thanksgiving lunch. Their warmth, generosity, and steady presence helped create the spirit that makes the Ranch feel like home.

We invite you to take a moment to read more about Brian’s remarkable life and service here:

Brian’s legacy will live on in the music, the memories, and the community he helped build.

With heartfelt gratitude, we thank Allie and her family for being such an important part of the Ranch family.
