Remembering Our Friend, Rob Peters

In loving memory of Robert Lewis Peters (1975-2024)

We are devastated to announce that our dear friend Rob Peters has passed away at the age of 48. Rob was a huge supporter of Obscure Studios as well as a talented actor. Not only did he lend his talent and voice for Captain Radio in the role of Orion, but he was also a thespian with Theatrikos Theatre Company in Flagstaff, Arizona.

We are so grateful to have been able to work with someone so talented and passionate about everything he did. We here at Obscure Studios send our love and condolences to Rob’s family and friends. He truly was a man with a great heart and a love of all things theatre. He will forever live in a special place in our hearts. Rest easy, sir.

Rob’s family has organized a GoFundMe campaign to cover some of their expenses. You can help by making a donation here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/2500-to-bring-him-home-to-rest. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. A memorial service will be held on what would have been Rob’s 49th birthday—now officially known as Rob Peters Day—May 18, 2024, at Theatrikos Theatre Company in Flagstaff, AZ. The memorial will begin at 10 a.m. and will be followed by continued story sharing at Uptown Pubhouse.

You can read more about Rob’s life and legacy in his obituary, which was recently published by the Arizona Daily Sun.
