Dennis M. Peters– very beautifully and peacefully, passed away on Saturday, June 13, 2026. Beloved son of the late Harvey and Virginia (nee Gavin). Dennis is survived by his wife of 54 years, Marsha Ann Faust; two older brothers, Donald and Jack; son Brian Peters (Accalia); daughters Lisa Marcinkiewicz (Tommy), Laura Davis (Matthew). He was loved, and known to his granddaughters as PaPa to Alexis, Lauren, Kara,Tory, Amelia, and Eleanor. Was a loving brother-in-law, father-in-law, uncle and great uncle within the family.
Dennis was born on November 25, 1948, and raised in South St. Louis City. He attended St. Mary’s High School, graduating in 1968. Dennis entered and served in the US Army thereafter. Dennis’s primary occupation of over 50 years was that of a Finish Carpenter, happily serving as a Union Carpenter for Local 1739. Dennis was known as Boo, Den, Vern, Denny, crazy Uncle Denny, Dennis the Menace, and Pops, and was friend to many, often seen as “the life of the party”. He stood ready with a quick-witted joke with some sarcasm sprinkled in! He is now having one heck of a “Hap- Hap- Happy Party” in the pearly gates upstairs, with many! In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Mercy- St. Louis de Greeff Hospice House, 10024 Kennerly Road, St. Louis MO 63128.
