Peters, Wesley Earl
Posted Feb 2, 2016 | 1:53 AM
It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce the passing of an amazing husband, dad, “bumpa”, son and brother, Wes Peters. Born May 2, 1954 to Barry and Julia Peters of Kamloops, Wes was taken too soon on January 28, 2016. Wes fought for his family for 31 days after being involved in a vehicle accident on December 29, 2015.
He worked alongside his father before creating and running a successful family business, Inland Ice Company. In the last few years Wes was able to watch his son take the reins so that he could sell and retire for the last 13 months with the love of his life Claire.
Many times a year Wes would vanish on an adventure. An avid hunter, fisher and outdoorsman. He could be found on his snowmobile, his ATV, making miles in his plane, truck, Harley Davidson or RV. Wes would always return with a story and a variety of pictures. On any given day you could find Wes parked outside of Tim Hortons with his Harley and Achin’ Bones family.
Wes will be forever loved and remembered by his wife Claire, daughter Kristin (Caleb), son Barry James (Megan), granddaughter Aphten, brother Jon (Ginny), parents Barry and Julia and a multitude of diverse friends in Kamloops, Wisconsin, California and Fort Nelson.
A special thank you to all our thoughtful friends for all their love and support and to the wonderful Kamloops Royal Inland Hospital ICU staff. A Celebration of Life to take place Saturday, February 6, 2016 at Schoening Funeral Home at 1:00pm in Kamloops, BC. As an expression of Sympathy, donations in memory of Wes may be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.
