Cameron Weage wrote a sympathy message

“One of the things I loved most about "Doc" Peters was the way he called things out for what they were and was pretty plain sometimes. One day in the summer of 2014, he was having a hard conversation with me for my good. I'll never forget him saying, "Cam, one day you'll look at me in a box and you'll never be able to say I didn't care." I love you, Doc. Thank you for being a true friend to this young man.”

We will only know the impact he had on so many lives in heaven someday. We loved him. Greg, Cindy Harris.”

Jeremy Huston wrote a sympathy message

“It was a blessing to meet Doc Peters at MCB Football Camp while I was in my late teens. I later looked forward to every interaction that we had while I attended Northwest Bible Baptist Church during college. Now as I serve as the Dean of Men at Providence Baptist College, I recognize the high bar he set while serving in the position I now hold. He was a man of great compassion & wit; no one around him ever doubted his love of life & others. He was truly a great man. I am better for knowing him!”

“Praying for you all! I dont think we will ever know the extent of the reach of Doc's influence until Heaven. I wish I could see all the crowns that Doc will have from the life he lived for Christ, and then see him humbly cast them all at Jesus feet. His love for Christ, and for life was infectious. Thank you for sharing Doc with us... what an incredible person. He will always be remembered,”
