Summary

Dean A. Peters, 65, of Beaver Island, died on August 31, 2020, at Munson-Charlevoix Area Hospital. The obituary preserved in the forum says that he and his wife moved to Beaver Island after his retirement, where he worked as a handyman and collected firewood. No immediate services were planned; the family expected to hold a later celebration of life.

Evidence limits

The forum preserves a contemporaneous death notice and a revised obituary reproduction attributed to Mortensen Funeral Homes. It establishes the reported death and biography, but this archive does not separately hold the original funeral-home publication or a later celebration-of-life record.

No services were planned at the time of the notice; a future celebration of life was contemplated.
