Hi everybody,

I just got off the phone a few minutes ago (5:30 PM EST) with Steve Peters.

^Easton^ Peters passed away yesterday afternoon at 12:30. He was 2 1/2 years old.

Steve said Easton was peaceful when he passed.

Easton had been in the hospital for a month after contracting viral pneuomnia. When the brought him to the hospital he had 2 heart failures. That along with, the pneumonia and his already underlying medical condition proved too much for his little body. He gradually weakened over the past months and a team of heroic doctors did all they could to try and pull Easton through.

Steve & Sherida (and baby brother Markus) are back home and are preparing a Memorial service for him (probably the week after next). He said he would post information as it is finalized.

I told him what we (the 914club community did) regarding Easton's fund and he was... well... shocked.

I told him that, by all means, to use the funds we gathered to help pay for ^Easton^'s burial.

He wanted to know what they could do to thank us all... and I simply told him that no one expected anything.

We are a community of more than just car nuts... we are a caring, compasionate, family.

Regards,

Qarl


P.S. I have been obviously involved in number of special needs forums since my son Hunter was born. When ever a child passes away, people sometimes encapsulate the child's name in "^" symbols... as in ^Easton^

These represent angel's wings.

Good Bless You ^Easton^

There isn't a damn thing they could do, or any reason to thank anyone here... There is no reason they need to thank anyone except who brought Easton to them for his short, precious life.

This fucking sucks

I can only hope that little ^Easton^ is in the most magnificent place that any of us could possibly imagine...

^Easton^ put up a valiant fight. My heart hurts for Steve and Sher.

It's important to his family that ^Easton^'s memory remains close and vivid and will not fade in time. To lose someone so young, loving and trusting is a profoundly personal and wrenching loss.

May he always be remembered as a vital, carefree and healthy little boy.

I'm so sorry.

Ugh! We've had a hard time at the Ellzey houshold since talking with Steve earlier. My wife Susan has been very emotional. We had never met the Peters family, other than Steve and I occasionally chatting on the phone about our boys. And yet, we feel like we really know them.

I have had a rough 3-4 weeks since learning of ^Easton^s hospitalization, as I know what it was like to be in Steve's shoes, constantly on a roller coaster with your child in the ICU. I've been depressed. I've been their twice with Hunter since he was born. It's not fun.

This whole situation is indeed beyond sad and totally unfair. Why did we have to lose such a precious little boy?

I appreciate everybody's showing of support, both over the last week with the Easton Fund drive, and for the continuing support during their time of mourning.

Please continue to pray for the family.

Perhaps, as we find out more details about the Memorial service, maybe somebody in the Seattle/Vancouver area can attend and express condolences from the Club?

As one who has recently been shown the support of our club in a similar situation, I can tell you all that Steve will appreciate all that we have done. As insignificant as a $5 or $50 donation may seem to those who did it, the thought and generosity are anything but insignificant. Reading Karl's post reminds me of the feeling I had when I saw a beautiful bouquet of flowers at my dad's funeral. Thank you all for showing your generosity and kindness once again. You all are very special people to me, and I'm sure, to Steve and his family as well.

Posted by: mharrison Jun 12 2005, 09:28 PM

After reading this I just had to go to my sons room and just look at him for awhile. He was at his computer and looked at me as if to say "what?" I just smiled and walked away. Unless you have a child of your own it is difficult to express feelings when one so young is lost. Be at peace ^Easton^.

^Easton^ brought us closer together and helped us feel and learn to grow closer as caring and compassionate people. There are no words in our language that can express the graditude and sorrow we all must feel.

Sorry to hear for your loss. My parents lost my brother at birth and it was so tough for them. Two years later I got my little brother, and after almost losing him also (to a rare heart condition) it was really tough, but that compare to what you're going through. I wish you guys the best of luck in dealing with this.

I wanted to say something spiritual. I can seem to do that either.

For the parents, I'm so sorry for your loss. As a parent, I can't imagine the pain. I'm so sorry.

For ^Easton^, I know in my heart you are in the Father's kingdom. For He has called you home to be with Him in everlasting beauty. God speed young master.

Karl, thank you VERY MUCH for all you've done. Please open the fund back up so we can help with the funeral expenses. That $4300.00 isn't going to cut it.

This sounds too much like a sympathy card.

There must be nothing more horrific than the loss of ones child.
So much potential lost.
A future of desperate and lonely days with memory dogging you.
What we could or should of done differently.
Moments we take for granted that we would live a thousand times over.
His first little steps..
His first real food..
What we could do to lessen your loss is a tear in a salty sea.
With great sympathy, how we wish we could help you through these dark days.

I have not replied to this thread because I don't know how to... There are no words that can express the deep sadness I felt when I saw ^Easton^'s picture on the home page and when I read thru pages of people offering their condolences. It isn't fair that Steve and Sher were given such a little treasure only to have him taken away so soon. The passing of any loved one is so hard to accept, but when it happens to someone so young and innocent, it's heart wrenching. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. While I sat speechless infront of my computer, my boyfriend said "He has touched so many lives. He has brought so many people together." Easton is not suffering anymore. I can only imagine he's in a better place. Happy, healthy, and surrounded by puppies & kittens.

We will never forget you, ^Easton^.

Okay, I 'cheated' the system to get on this BBS. I don't own a 914.
I googled for Easton Peters. This forum is the first one in the list.

I am Steve Peters' uncle, live in Toronto, and have to wonder how Steve and Sherida are doing after this tragedy in their lives.

I see they have a pile of support through you guys. What a great bunch!

A big wave to Steve, Sherida and Greg. God has you in His hands and heart.
And even though the pain of loss is excruciating (I can't imagine it), Easton IS now beholding the face of his Creator.

Okay, the forum boss can boot me now. I only drive a Passat 1.9 TDI that runs on used veggie oil.

Okay, I 'cheated' the system to get on this BBS. I don't own a 914.

think nothing of it.

NOWHERE in the terms of use does it say anything about OWNING a 914, so you're cool. it *helps* if you like them, even a little (although if that were a hard and fast requirements, even some of the regulars would have to recuse themselves after a particularly frustrating experience...).

and if it were required that you actually own a RUNNING 914, i figure there'd be but a handful of participants.

you're welcome to hang around as long as you like, leave at any time, or drift in and out as you see fit. like family.

There are terms of use?

I'm going to this because I think it's really cool that ^Easton's^ extended family has posted on this thread.

God Bless

Dearest Steve and Sher,
I want to sent my condolences to you and your family. I've been praying, keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for Sweet Easton's recovery. My heart goes out to you. Please take care and watch over one another.

I am very sorry for your loss.

How trivial are our day-to-day problems compared to the things that bring true sorrow to those around us.

Hey guys, first off thanks for your support it has been completely overwelming, when Karl phoned me with the amounts you guys have raised in honour of ^Easton^ and our family I was speecheless..... Easton has been such a treasure to our family and pictures of his smile and expresions bring tears to Sher and my Face as we pic out pictures for the service. Sher probably sorted though a thousand pics of the boys....
I am going to help out with the final construction of his Casket, today with the help of two great carpenters we are friends with.... The suport from the comunity has been outstanding as well. Not a day goes by without someone showing up on our door step with multiply vases of flowers and hot food for supper, the local comunity paper did a front page article for both Mission and Abbotsford.
However the loss of my little man has become more and more real every day. I delivered some of his medical supplies to a family that needed them, and in the closet was a big dump truck and trailer for him for his first sandbox expierence, unopened....Sher and I both cried, surounded by a room full of memories.....
We are trying to fill the days with things to do, so we don't have to think, but there are quiet times in the day that are completely overwhelming......Markus has helped to fill our minds as he is a busy little boy, that is loving being the new center of attention......
Steve

Steve....there isn't a day that goes by that most of us don't think of you.

Words are pretty much useless in a situation like this, so it's tough for a lot of us to express how we feel.

You are in our hearts, and our prayers...

-Doug

Hang in there Steve and Sher.....I won't even try and tell you that it will get easier...but it will be less painful.

I lost a nephew (he was 6 of brain cancer) and it was over 22 years ago! I still think of him all the time and take strength in the knowledge that he is "my" special angel as is your ^Easton^...actually I believe ^Easton^ is a special "914" angel to us all!

God bless you!
