Professor Mark Joseph Peters

To Aido, John and to Mark’s wife and family,
I was very sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. I have fond memories of his time on The Close and The Rise, putting “go faster” stripes on the side of his car. Always with a kind word and a sense of humour, whether in the shop or outside it. May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to John & Adrian and all the Peters' family on the passing of your dear brother Mark. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

I am very sad to hear the news as a student of Marks in South Africa studying from Ireland - he was a great lecturer and had a great sense of humour! He is sadly missed by his students! My condolences to all his family and friends!

Deepest sympathy to Adrian and the extended
family on the passing of Mark.
He was a gentleman when I was in Castleknock.
May he rest in peace.

Dear Aido, Rene, Charmaine, Dominique, Paige, Ethan & all your extended family we wish to offer our deepest sympathy on the death of Mark. May he rest in eternal peace.

I received and read last Wednesday morning (13 Aug) the Knock Union notice released to advise of Mark’s passing. It was a bit like an Angelus moment from the past, whereby one might occasionally pause for a few seconds to reflect, and that’s what I did for sure on this occasion. I haven’t seen Mark in years, we used to connect up here and there through a classmate pal of mine – Mannix! also Mark became a humble successor of mine as treasurer of the Union.
Mark was such a lovely fella with that easy going demeanour of his, kind to the core, clever and sound and had a great sense of humour and devilment to enlighten everyone’s interest. My sympathy to Adrian and all the Peters Family here in Ireland and in SA, Mark was taken away far too early. Rest in Peace.

My sincere sympathy to Mark's family and to the extended Peters family. His Mum and Grandmother were a delight to shop with in Mount Merrion.

Mark was a beautiful man and I had the pleasure of knowing him since childhood in Ballyheigue. Himself and Ado inseparable, walking over across the Green to the lodge and getting stuck in with the locals, those earlier years.
A big generous man always interested in us, he’ll be missed.
Sincere condolences to Charmaine, Dominique, Paige, Ethan and John. To his great brothers Ado and John.
All the best old friend.

Dear Adrian, John and Marks family
I am so saddened to hear of Marks death , sincere condolences to you all.
I have the fondest of memories of Mark in the shop when I was little - one standout memory was when Mark had wrapped a present for my birthday- i have no idea what the present was - probably a penny sweet - but i do remember the unwrapping- box within box within box within box …. I was so thrilled !
Marks kindest continued when we met again in Sth Africa when i was there for work - he opened his home to me and provided the perfect safe haven - just the antidote for homesickness that I need.
Much love to all xxx

So sad to hear about Mark's passing. He arrived a year after me in Castleknock and it wasn't too long before he shattered my illusions and position as a good sprinter on the college athletic team, by powering past me at the finishing line...with that Mark smile! A great guy and a pleasure to have known him. Rest in Peace.

To Mark’s immediate and extended family

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Mark Peters. He was not only a wonderful colleague but also a true great friend in the early 1980’s.

His sense of humour could brighten any room, and he had a way of making even the most stressful days a little lighter. he was always at the heart of things - the kind of person, people naturally gravitated toward. Whether it was offering help, sharing a laugh, or stepping up when it mattered most, he did it all with sincerity and warmth.
He made a lasting impact on everyone Lucky enough to have known him.

My thoughts are with his family and all who loved him during this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy

Dorothy palmer and family

Our Very Deepest Sympathies to Adrian, John, Renee & Chris & to all the extended Peters Family on the very sad & untimely passing of your beloved Mark.

Mark the good listener, witty, intelligent, generous & caring with his big huge smile and always the warm welcome.

Mark loved coming back to Ballyheigue, where we had so much fun over all those years.
A line of cars would beep passing our house, on their way over to the Lodge, under the clear blue sky - Mark, John & Aido were back in town…

May your Gentle Soul Rest in Peace Mark.

On behalf of the Galvin family Sincere sympathy to the Peters Family following the death of their beloved Mark.
Many treasured memories of Mark, Adrian & John coming to Ballyheigue on holidays with their parents Peg & Tom.
Peg’s parents were Kerry born and had lots of family ties in Ballyheigue & Banemore.
I have family photos of the day my youngest brother was christened- Peg was his proud godmother.
May Marks gentle soul rest in Peace.

Mark was in the cubicle beside me in the dorm when we both first arrived in Castleknock. A true gentleman with a wicked sense of humour he was a wonderful guy that I had the pleasure of knowing during our time in Boarding school. Rest in peace friend

To Charmaine,Dominique, Paige and Ethan.
I was very saddened to hear of Mark's recent passing.
What a great man he was.
I attended Castleknock College in Dublin with Mark in the 70's and he was one of the best in our year. The memories shared and fondness expressed by many among fellow college mates this week, bears testimony to just how great Mark was and how he will be deeply missed by all of us that knew him so well.

My deepest sympathy with you all on your immeasurable loss at this time.

We had the pleasure of knowing Mark when we lived in JB. We became great friends and had dinner with Mark and Charmine and kids in March this year. He was in full health and as usual had good laughs on our catch up. We are shocked and saddened by the rappidness of his death. He was one in a millon..as someone said to me yesterday. Sometimes the "Good People have no more to Give". This was Mark always giving .We will never forget you Mark. Thank you for all the fun we had. X

I’d like to express my deepest sympathies to you all. I hold fond memories of Mark from our days in secondary school. He was kind, considerate and always fair. With these characteristics he brought humour, fun and a hint of mischievousness in his interactions with his classmates.
I hope that your memories of Mark will bring you some comfort in the times ahead.
May he now rest in peace.

Charmaine, Dominique, Paige and Ethan and John - a few words of comfort is all that I can at this sad time on the death of Mark. An eggcup of kindness poured into a pool of grief. May the everyday events that made Mark smile and laugh, in time, bring you comfort. Whenever you make him smile, he will never be far away. Dermot ( class of 78)
