Obituary For Jacob Peters

Jake was born “behind a rockpile” near Great Deer, Saskatchewan, to Elizabeth Isaac and Isaac Peters. The family moved to the Hythe/Lymburn area when he was a child. He resided in the Peace River area all his life. After leaving the farm, he worked in the lumber industry, at a tire shop, and his last years prior to retirement were spent working for the town of Sexsmith, looking after the park and various other duties.

He was generally a quiet man, devoted to his family and committed to the church he attended. Jacob loved woodworking, horses and in his later years he enjoyed working on crosswords.

He will be sadly missed by his wife Margaret Lowen, who he married on June 17, 1956. Children Dave (Joanne), Erna (Eddy) and Rod (Tara). Grandchildren; Keith (Tanya), Vanessa (Sam), Sam (Tara), Tim (Tiffany), Nico (Jennifer), Taylor (Josh) and Rylee (Kerri) and as well great grandchildren; Charlee, Gabriel, Marshall, Cash, Lucy, Mia, Micah, Aria, Malia and Syrus.

My sincere condolences to the Peters family. I had the HONOR of working with Jake at Town of Sexsmith for many years. A quiet , gentle and gentleman with a wonderful sense of humor. One day Jake was in the office before the end of the day and when he was departing, he said he was going for a haircut. I jokingly said, " but Jake the day isn't over". Without missing a beat, he said, "well I grew it during the work day"! A wonderful person!

Sincere sympathy to Margaret and family on Jake's passing. We enjoyed many laughs through his quiet humour while he worked for the Town of Sexsmith. I know he is at peace now with the Lord.
