Barry Peters, 62, of Quaker City, Ohio, passed into the arms of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at his home. Born on November 19, 1963, in Wheeling, West Virginia, he was the son of the late Frederick Larry and Judith Ann (Smith) Peters.

A 1982 graduate of Barnesville High School, Barry proudly served in the United States Army and later in the United States Air Force Reserves. He attended Belmont Technical College after his military service. Known for his dedication and skill, he worked for many years in various trades in the construction field.

Barry was born again in October 1998 and lived the remainder of his life with a deep passion for sharing his faith and evangelizing others. He served as a devoted preacher at Mt. Zion Bible Teaching Church in Belmont. He cherished time outdoors, particularly golfing and fishing, and he and Judy shared a love for travel, often planning trips around his enjoyment of the game of golf.
