Daniel P. Peters

November 7, 1947 — November 26, 2017

Dan Peters, age 70 of Appleton passed away on Sunday, November 26, 2017 at an Appleton Hospital. Dan was born in Clintonville on November 7, 1947, son of the late Ervin “Pete” and Ethel (Dilley) Peters. He was a graduate of the Clintonville High School, and shortly thereafter, joined the United States Air Force where he served as a mechanic. On September 26, 1970, he married Patti Trice in Royalton. Together, the couple enjoyed forty-seven years together.

His Air Force training landed Dan a job with Air Wisconsin in September of 1969, and he was employed by Air Wisconsin until his retirement in 2006. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and watching his favorite football team - The Green Bay Packers. He loved jazz music, and of course, airplanes. More than anything, he loved spending time with his children and grandchildren.

Dan is survived by his wife: Patti Peters of Appleton; three children: Lisa (Dave) Noe, Heath Peters, and Curtis Peters; seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; a brother: Alvin “Mike” (Margaret) Peters; a sister: Mary Ann (Maynard) Kunschke; and two brothers-in-law: Roger (Ev) Trice and Leighton “Junior” (Mary) Trice. Dan is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his in-laws: Leighton and Mildred (Clinton) Trice, and a brother-in-law: Butchie Trice.

The funeral liturgy for Dan will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, December 2, 2017 at ST. BERNARD CATHOLIC CHURCH, 1617 W. Pine Street in Appleton, with Fr. Dennis Ryan officiating. Full military honors will follow the service, and burial will be in St. Mary Cemetery. Family and friends are invited to gather at the church on Saturday morning from 9:00 AM until the time of the service.

The family would like to thank the entire staff at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton. From the ER and ICU to all of the medical floors, we felt like our entire family was treated with love, care, and compassion. We will never forget your kindness.
