Edgar Ira Peters Sr. was born on May 18, 1962, in San Deigo, California. His mother is Ettie-Bee Fern Peters, and his father is Jack Edward Peters. He has three siblings: Jack, his older brother, Dennis, his younger brother, and his younger sister, Angela.
Edgar was adventurous and hardworking during his childhood. He joined the boy scouts and that is what led to his love for nature. That experience led him to landscaping as one of his first jobs. After high school, he joined the army.
He was first married to Tony Erickson, who gave birth to their daughter, Christina Peters. His last marriage was to Monaliza Peters. Through her, Edgar met his first son, Wilfredo Muana. Then together they had two more children, Edgar Peters Jr. and then Ira Peters.
Edgar served for a total of twenty years in the military as a sergeant in the army, and he was a veteran of the War in Iraq. He was awarded an honorable discharge for his well-deserved retirement with 100% disability.
He spent his retirement doing what he loves. He would take his family across the globe to places like: South Korea, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and around the United States. Taking photos of his adventures was one of his favorite hobbies. When he came back from his travels, he was not a fan of enjoying his retirement just watching television. Edgar would always go outside: working on cars, home improvement, fishing, camping, etc. Enjoying the things that he used to as a child.
Edgar Peters Sr. died on October 4th, 2024, on his bed in his sleep. He lived his life the way he wanted to. Honesty and integrity are the principles he lived by. People had mixed opinions of his personality, but how he portrays himself is the real him. He was blunt and tells it how he sees it. He did not care what others thought of him. Regardless of whether people saw his personality as positive or negative, he was always someone people can rely on. He was already fulfilling people's needs before they even have a chance to ask for help.
