Eric Richard Peters

Eric Richard Peters, 64, of Mechanicsburg died peacefully in his sleep Monday, March 10, 2025 at his home.

A 1978 graduate of Camp Hill High School and 1983 graduate of West Virginia University School of Pharmacy, he was a Pharmacist with BeneCard, PBF, Mechanicsburg for sixteen years. He was a member of the Central PA – WVU Alumni Association, AFSCME and a lifetime member of Trinity Lutheran Church, Camp Hill.

Eric was born August 23, 1960 in Harrisburg to the late Richard Colman Peters, DDS and Donna (Taylor) Peters.

He loved WVU and all things blue and gold. During his college years in Morgantown, he was a member of the Kappa Alpha Order and the Pride of WV Mountaineer Marching Band. An avid fan of music, rock concerts and sports (particularly the WVU Mountaineers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates and Penguins), he also found joy and laughter throughout his life in moments spent with loved ones and friends. His warm smile, quick wit and wonderful sense of humor endeared him to all who had the pleasure of knowing him, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of many.

He is survived by his sister, Jane Peters McMullen (Roy) of Camp Hill; nephews and niece, Nolan Richard McMullen (Kalea) of Pittsburgh, Justine Taylor McMullen of New York, NY, and Roy James McMullen, III (Stephanie) of Lebanon; beloved cousins and friends; and his cherished dog Haley.
