Avis de décès de Jan-Frederic Peters - Nécrologie - MesAieux.com

PETERS, Jan Frederic, 60, was taken by our almighty Father June 1, 2009. Jan was a fifth- generation Floridian, whose ancestors came to Florida during the second Seminole War. Born in Miami and raised in Hialeah, he graduated from Hialeah High School in 1966. Soon after, he settled on a career with the U.S. Army, serving with distinction around the world and seeing combat in Vietnam and the first Gulf War. After the military, Jan began a second career with the Florida Department of Corrections. Jan has been described by many as a great friend and a good guy. A kind and generous person, Jan loved his family and was particularly devoted to his children. He was extremely proud of their accomplishments. Jan is survived by his mother, Valda, of Sebring; his brother, Michael (Margie) of Tallahassee; his children, Jason, Morgana and Mason of Germany; Eve, his only grand-daughter, of Germany; and his nephews, Michael and John of Tallahassee, Fla.; and his lifelong friend, Mike O' Steen of Hialeah. Jan' s toughest fight in life was his 17-year battle with the consequences of his military experiences, which contributed to his early passing. Jan now enjoys eternal peace, never again to be haunted by the ghosts of the jungle or the demons of the desert. He will be missed by all that knew and loved him. A memorial service will be conducted at 11 a.m. June 4, 2009, at the Dowden Funeral Home Chapel, with the family receiving friends from 10:30 a.m. until the time of service. The Rev.
