Matthew Robert Peters

Matthew (Matt) Robert Peters was born September 24, 1973 and following a firearm accident, passed away on July 16, 2022 with his family by his side. Matt leaves behind his lifelong partner of 22 years Megan Mastrobuono, children Kyle, Kayla Lose (Roger) and Michelle (Amanda Branston), siblings Heather Sadey (Dave), Emily Keller (Joe), Adam, Megan, Andrew (Meghann), and countless family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Mary.

Matt grew up in Cleveland and graduated from Holy Name High School in 1991. Following graduation, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, serving from 1992 to 1996. His primary specialties were as a rifleman and guard. Post military service, Matt returned home to care for his family and entered the workforce, eventually deciding to pursue a career in automotive mechanics. After completing coursework at Ohio Technical College and the BMW STEP program, he was awarded the Master Auto Technician certification. Matt was hired in 2002 by Kelly BMW in Columbus, where he has been a dedicated technician for the past 20 years. Matt was content at home relaxing on the couch. He loved watching shows about survival, bladesmithing and surprisingly, even a little reality TV. He also enjoyed gardening, biking, running, and was a gun enthusiast, often target shooting. He looked forward to traveling and going to new places with Megan. Matt loved sitting on the patio with his dogs, Duke and Doug, enjoying a cold beer and a good cigar.

In memory of Matt, please consider the gift of life by donating blood to your local blood bank, as this was a critical need during his emergency care.

Visitation will be Friday, July 22, 2022 from 4pm until the time of service at 5pm at Newcomer NE Chapel, 3047 E. Dublin Granville Rd. Columbus.
