Alan Peters

It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Alan Peters surrounded by his family on January 7, 2021 after a brief illness. Alan was predeceased by his mother and father Theodore and Martha Peters, and his brothers Larry and Robert Peters. He will be missed dearly by his wife Sonia, children Melanie (Martin), Shawn (Kristina), his three grandchildren that he loved dearly Kaitlin, Landen, and Rylan, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, family and friends. He is also missed very much by his dog Drake, who was always by his side. He was a devoted husband and Dad and an amazing Papa to all of his grandchildren. He welcomed everyone with open arms and treated them like they were a part of the family.

In 1978 Alan married Sonia, the love of his life. Al’s  strong work ethic and desire to take care of his family led him to a career with CN Railway where he continued to work for almost 30 years. Everyone who knew Al knew that he would rather give than receive. He was a man of sacrifice and would do anything to see his family happy. He coached many years on his sons ball hockey and ice hockey teams, and was very well respected by all of his players. His favourite hockey team was the Boston Bruins and he always loved Number 4 Bobby Orr. Al truly enjoyed watching his kids and grandkids play sports, dance, sing in concerts, and perform in plays or musicals. He never missed a game, dance recital or swimming lesson, and loved to play jokes on and tease his grandkids just so he could see them laugh and smile. Family vacations to Disneyland, and Alberta, camping trips, fishing trips, BC Lions football games,and Canucks hockey games are just some of the fun times we shared. He loved his Tim Hortons coffee, and would never turn down an Apple fritter. He could dance an awesome polka, loved all Superheroes, (although Batman was his favourite), and loved to relax with family and watch some of his favourite TV shows like Andy Griffith, Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons, and  King of Queens.

Al provided countless lifelong memories for his wife and children, their friends, and extended family members that we will cherish forever. We love you so much. To the world you may have just been one person, but to us, you will always and forever be our superhero.
