John Blaine Peters II

John "Blaine" Peters II, 31 of Toledo, Ohio beloved father, husband, son, brother, cousin and friend, was taken far too soon on February 15, 2026. Born May 2, 1994, Blaine lived loudly, loved fiercely, and left an unforgettable mark on everyone he met.

Blaine's whole world was his two-year-old son, John Blaine "Junior" Peters III. Every day with Junior was an adventure - dirt bikes, motorcycles, burnouts in the truck, and trips to the races, Blaine was determined to give his son the same wild, joy-filled childhood he cherished, one full of laughter, excitement, and mischief.

Riding on two wheels was more than just a passion - it was Blaine's way of life. Whether tearing up the track or cruising the open road, he lived for speed, burnouts, and the thrill of the ride, but even more for the brotherhood that came with it. "Squawk 'em!"

He never met a stranger. With his loud presence, quick wit, and genuine kindness, Blaine made everyone feel like family. "Hey brother!" was rarely far from his lips.

Blaine is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife, Nicole "Nikki" Peters, and their son, Junior; his parents, Chris Peters and Peggy Walker Peters; and brother, Christian Peters.

Blaine cherished his family roots. Most particularly bonded were the Jurski family. Uncle Rick and Aunt Lisa Jurski. Cousin-Mother Tracy ("TT") Jurski. Cousin-Brothers, Beau and Luke Purtee. Cousins, Rick and Mary Jurski, and Ricky and Ray Jurski. Godparents-Aunt Debbie and Uncle Frank Mrkva; Cousin Justin Mrkva. Uncle Keith and Aunt Sonia Walker. Uncle Tom Peters and Cousin Scott Peters, Jr. The Lindhorst family, a large and close-knit branch too numerous to name, but never distant in his heart. Blaine's friendships ran too deep to list, but his strongest bond-like that of a father and mentor-was with Phil Tinsley, a brother who helped guide him through many avenues of life.

Blaine's extended family welcomed him as their own, along with his boisterous laughter and mischievous ways. Blaine kept a very close connection with his mother and father-in-law, Ann Nester Bolla and Victor Bolla; his sister, brother-in-law and nephew, Stephanie, Troy and Dylan Blubaugh. Brother and soon to be sister-in-law, Andrew Bolla and Elizabeth Swanson, and nephew Corbyn Bolla.

A celebration of life will be held in true biker fashion. Details will be announced near May. Floral gifts are respectfully declined, as Nikki and Junior are relocating.

Blaine, may you be tearing it up in heaven with Grandma Walker, Joey Hoag, Chandler Meyers and Beau Purtee. May you have endless road and burn that rubber. ~ TT

Forever and always. ~ Nikki
