ALAN FRANK PETERS

Alan Frank Peters was born on October 20, 1952 in Louisville, Kentucky. He was the third-born child of Joyce Peters. Alan departed this life unexpectedly on June 12, 2023 with his family surrounding him. He accepted Christ at an early age. Alan attended elementary, junior high, and high school in Louisville, graduating from Ahrens Trade High School in 1970. 

Alan joined the armed forces shortly after graduation, enlisting in the Navy, retiring in 1997 Sept 01, after a 26-year career, making San Diego, California his home. Alan served on several ships, among them the USS Nimitz, USS Brewton, and USS Stein. Alan received various decorations, medals, and badges during his service - Navy/Mariner Corps Commendation Medal, Navy Achievement medal, Joint Meritorious Unit Award, Meritorious Unit Commendation, Navy "E" Ribbon, Sixth Good Conduct Award, Navy Expeditionary Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Southeast Asia Service Medal, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, Kuwait Liberation Medal (Kuwait). 

Alan used his military training after retirement working for many years for the Navy Division of Dresser- Rand field service organization where he performed technical assistance, troubleshooting and repair of steam turbines at power plants and refineries. Then two years later he was very excited to join the Dresser-Rand government group performing this same work on his love of USS naval ships. Alan worked on main engines, turbine generators and auxiliary turbines in San Diego and wherever in the world a navy ship needed him such as Japan, Hawaii, Guam and Seattle. Even after he recovered from some medical issues, he was still ready to work and was utilized to perform this same mission critical work, even doing some office-based work. 

Alan was preceded in death by his mother, Joyce Peters; and brother, Gregory Madry. Those left to live on without Alan are his wife Lieu (Kim) Peters, three daughters Beverly Hill (Jack) Tampa, FL, LaTanya Banks, Linda McDonald (Todd), two sons Alan Peters, Jr (Maria), James Lee Fritch all of San Diego, sister Cassandra Segar (Bobby) Indianapolis, IN, brother Kevin Peters, Louisville, KY, five grandchildren, and one newborn great-grandson, sisters-in- law, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. We love you Alan; you will be greatly missed and we will see you some day!
