Kenneth Wayne Peters, age 83, of West Monroe, Louisiana, passed away on Wednesday, February 4, 2026 at CHI St. Vincent Hospital in Hot Springs, Arkansas. He was born on Wednesday, October 21, 1942 to James Leon Peters and Amy Louise Hosea Peters in Pineville, Louisiana.

Kenneth was a quiet and steady man who cared deeply for his faith and his family, which were always the most important parts of his life. He was a faithful member of Loch Arbor Baptist Church where he served as a Deacon and Sunday School teacher and sang in a quartet. He loved history and found real peace canoeing on the Buffalo River. For more than 30 years he worked as a meat cutter at Leggitt Grocery alongside his father in law Otis Leggitt. He enjoyed Gospel and Country music and took simple pleasure in fishing for blue gill, sharing family cookouts, and drinking black coffee.

He is preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Patricia Peters; three brothers, Jimmy Peters, Charles Peters, and Shelby Peters.

Kenneth is survived by his sons and daughters in law, Randy and Shannon Peters of West Monroe, Louisiana, Gary and Tracey Peters of Corpus Christi, Texas, Mark and Jaime Peters of Cove; ten grandchildren, Lacey Peters, Lauren Peters, Blake Peters, Brad Peters, Kayln Peters, Kody Allen, Emma Peters, Audra Peters, Anna Claire Peters, and Carson Balch; a very good friend, Dee Roberts of Cove; several nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of other relatives and friends.

No services are planned at this time. Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Bowser Family Funeral Home in Mena, Arkansas.
