Obituary for Danny Lee Peters
A Celebration of Life for Danny Lee Peters, age 67, of Enid, will be 10:00 am, Friday, February 17, 2023 at Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home Chapel with Reverend Jim Edmison officiating. Funeral and cremation arrangements are under the direction of Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home and Crematory.
Danny was born November 4, 1955 in Enid, Oklahoma to Bob and Doris (Davidson) Peters, and passed away Wednesday, February 8, 2023 at his home in Enid.
Danny was born and raised in Enid, Oklahoma. He graduated from Lahoma High School in 1974, and began a career in the oil field at 18 years old, and later realized he had a passion for it. He worked his way up to become a tool pusher, and eventually until retiring after 42 years. Danny was a hard worker and always gave more than 100%. Not only did Danny love his career, he also enjoyed the simple things in life, such as racing at Enid Speedway, riding his motorcycles, everything Harley Davidson, football, casino trips, and attending concerts and basketball games as often as possible. Danny always had sports on the TV no matter what sport it was, he was watching it.
He married Kathy and they had two sons, Bradley, who passed at a very young age, and Danny. In September of 1989 Danny married Debbie Peters and stayed married for 21 years, and helped her raise two daughters, until her passing in 2008. Danny met Darla Brainerd in 2009 and realized how happy she made him, and they married in 2017, and he helped Darla raise her two daughter, Samantha and Taylor.
Throughout his life, Danny was close to so many people. He loved his family and friends, and he was committed to always being there for others, no matter what the circumstances may be. He was so loved and will be misses enormously, as Danny was a true free spirit, he had a sparkle in his eyes for life itself, he loved his family very much and his friends too. He was a person whom once you met him, you would never forget him.
Danny is survived by his wife Darla, of the home in Enid; five children; son Danny Peters and wife Sophia, of San Marcos, TX; Jonelle Holden, of Long Beach, CA; Jennifer Jackson, of Enid; Samantha and Taylor Schreiner, both of Enid; eight grandchildren, Jadon and Joseph Gravlee, of Enid; Charlotte Jackson, of Enid; Addison Robinson of Enid; Jackson Meade, of Enid; Elenore, Hudson and Arthur Peters, all of San Marcos, TX; brother, Gilbert Lee Willson and wife Jennifer, of Perry, OK; step-father, Gilbert Willson, Sr.; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, many friends and his beloved dog Polly.
