John "Jack" Peters
February 25, 1933 — April 18, 2017
John Duane "Jack" Peters was born February 25, 1933 to John and Clara Auer Peters on the family farm southeast of Beloit, Kansas. He departed this life of 84 years Tuesday morning, April 18, 2017 at the Mitchell County Hospital in Beloit.
Jack was a lifelong resident of Beloit and Mitchell County. As a child growing up on the farm, Jack quickly learned the responsibilities of farm life which carried on into his adult life. He was a hard working man who had many jobs, including working the family farm. Jack worked for the Kansas Department of Transportation for 23 years until his retirement in 1993. Even after his retirement he wanted to stay busy. He ran the motor grader for Beloit township and served eight years as Mitchell County Commissioner until health issues forced him to quit.
Jack had a love for music and baseball. As a child his siblings, cousins, and friends would get together and form teams and play baseball. Even when there wasn't enough people to make teams, he would want to play a game of catch or hit the ball. He also loved music, and as a young man learned to play the trumpet and was quite good at it. In his later years, Jack would often be seen whistling, humming, or singing a tune and whenever he could catch a ballgame on the radio or TV.
On June 3, 1961 he was united in marriage to Charlotte Yvonne Van Wey at St. John's Catholic Church in Beloit. Two sons were born to this union, Daniel John and Matthew Lynn.
Preceding him in death were his parents John and Clara; a brother, Paul; a sister, Josephine; and infant grandson Joshua.
Left to mourn his passing and celebrate his new life are his wife Charlotte; sons Daniel and Matthew; grandsons, Phillip, Jeremy, and Dalton; daughter-in-laws, Debra and Susanne; sisters, Mary, Cylene, Roberta, and Rita; brothers, Richard and Max; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
