Russell Martin Peters
Russell was born on February 13, 1961 in Rockford, Illinois, son of Ronald W. and Elizabeth M. (Brady) Peters. He is a 1983 graduate from Western Illinois University, where he majored in communications. On November 14, 1987, he was united in marriage to Sandra Picl in Peoria Heights, Illinois. Russell worked in the communication field using both his photography and writing skills. He worked for Arachnid Mark Darts and Ingersoll Rand in Rockford, IL, and later for Regal-Beloit in Beloit, WI. He then became a stay at home dad to raise their daughter, Jessica.
Russell loved the outdoors in both summer and winter. His favorite place to be was on his pontoon floating on Long Lake in Longville, Minnesota where he spent his summers with family, friends and his beloved dog Chupa. He was the president of the Long Lake Property Owners Association and a member of the Longville Lakes Area Snowmobile Club. He was an excellent chef and enjoyed cooking Thanksgiving meals for his extended family. Russell had a deep love for his country, our liberty, and those who served to protect our freedom.
