Alan Peters was born on May 20, 1951, in Eldora, Iowa the son of Marlyn and Ines (Bockes) Peters.  He was raised and educated in the Grundy County school district, where he graduated from Reinbeck High School with the class of 1969.  Following graduation, Alan went onto Ellsworth Community College one semester.

On December 19, 1969, Alan was united in marriage to Linda Johnston in Grundy Center, Iowa. From this union, the couple had three children: Angela, Chris and Natalie. Alan was a very hardworking man, where he dedicated forty years as a self-employed flooring installer.

He had many passions in life such as playing golf, riding, and providing support for Linda and his son for over 20 years on RAGBRAI, eating chocolate, traveling and attending his kids and grandkids school events.  Alans number one passion was the time that he got to spend with his family and friends.

Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife: Linda Peters; children: Angela (Gary) Korte, Chris (Jennifer) Peters and Natalie (Chet) Kenisell; mother: Ines Peters; 6 grandchildren: Jordan Webb, Lexi Korte, Logan Peters, Will Kenisell, Luke Kenisell and Landon Kenizell; great-grandchildren: Hayden and Hazel Webb; as well as one sister: Lori Craun.

He is preceded in death by his father: Marlyn Peters; and his In-Law’s: Wilford and Betty Johnston.
