- Obituary for Mr. Brent Peters
Brent A. Peters, 79, long-time resident of Iowa Falls, left this earth to
go to his eternal home on September 11, 2022. As Brent was a very humble
man, his wishes were that there be no formal service, only a private
family graveside service. Memorials and donations may be made in Brent's
name to the Greenbelt Humane Society, 319 River Street, Iowa Falls, IA
50126. Counsell Woodley Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Iowa Falls
is caring for Mr. Peters and his family.
Brent was born on March 26, 1943 in Swaledale to Lois (Thomas) and Ray
Peters. Brent graduated from Rockwell-Swaledale school. After graduating
from high school, Brent attended and graduated from NIACC. He continued
his education at the University of Northern Iowa, proudly graduating and
receiving his teaching certificate. He accomplished his goal to follow in
his mother's footsteps and to become a teacher. Brent started his teaching
career in Klemme and spent the remainder of his teaching career at Iowa
Falls High School teaching business and accounting courses along with
coaching until his retirement. Brent was known for his love of teaching
and more so for his love and mentoring of his students in education and
life.
Brent remained a bachelor and was always looking to befriend others,
giving love and kindness to everyone he met. His motto in life was
"Kindness Matters."
To thank Brent for his giving of kindness, the residents of Iowa Falls
started a school scholarship fund in Brent's name, the Brent Peters
Kindness Scholarship. Donations to this scholarship were from friends,
former students and others and will be given to two high school
students per year and for future years to come. Brent was both honored and
humbled by the recognition and outpouring of the community for this
scholarship.
Brent enjoyed his hobby of antiques, being with family and most of all his
love for his kitties that he adopted. Brent always had a smile on his face
and a sack of candy to give some to everyone. He was a dedicated Christian
and church attendee.
Brent is survived by his twin sister, Barbara Montgomery; his brothers:
Lynn (Kay) Peters and Paul (Sheri) Peters; along with several nieces,
nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. Brent will be welcomed to his
eternal home by his parents, Ray and Lois Peters, both paternal and
maternal grandparents; brother-in-law, Jay Montgomery, nephew, Larry
Easter and several aunts and uncles.
Brent's motto in life was "Kindness Matters" of which he lived his entire
life. Please carry this kindness forward.
Love You Brent.
