Born In: Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada
Passed in: SYDNEY, Nova Scotia, Canada
Passed on: September 19th, 2011
It is with deeply saddened and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden but peaceful passing of our father, Michael Dennis Peters, at home on Monday, Sept. 19, 2011. He was the son of Mrs. Dorothy Marie (Gallant) and the late Henry Morton Peters.
Born in Charlottetown, P.E.I., and moving to Cape Breton when he was just under a year old. He spent his younger years on Mira Road playing pranks around the neighbourhood, with the boys from Peter’s Construction. Leaving high school, he was employed as an engineer at the heavy water plant until it closed in 1985. He then moved onto studies in computer engineering and continued with that for the rest of his life. Applying his talent, artistic flare and eye for detail he helped develop the memorial package for Chant’s Funeral Home bringing the DVD projects into many homes. He loved spending time with his family and friends, socializing, and reminiscing of all of those little special moments in life. He loved to travel, and taking the time to get there was half the fun. He held a special place in his heart for anywhere near an ocean.
We would like to send a special thank you to Dr. Paul Murphy, Dr. Phillip Curry, and his nurse Sharon, for all of their help throughout these years.
Survived by his mother, Dorothy Peters; his children, Christine, Michael, Charles, Sarah, Nicholas and his angel, Emma Peters; brother, Richard Peters; four grandchildren, his pride and joy, Cameron, Alex, Keegan and Rebecca; aunt, Helen Bruno, as well as several aunts, uncles and cousins.
Our father was a very kind-hearted, generous, patient man, who was known and loved by many. He was a son, brother, father, grandfather, and most importantly a friend to everyone who was blessed enough to know him. We love and miss you so much Dad. You will forever be in our hearts in everything that we do and until we all meet again, patiently wait for us to come home.
Cremation has taken place. There will be no visitation. A memorial service will be held 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, 2011, at the S.W. Chant & Son Funeral Home, 564 Alexandra St., Sydney, with Rev. Sheldon Chant officiating.
