Doug J.J. Peters, an influential former state senator who was popular among Democrats and Republicans, died Saturday. He was 60.
In a statement, the family of the former senator said he died as the result of complications from multiple myeloma.
“He was a tremendous public servant, and a remarkable businessman. More than anything, he was our rock, our north star,” the Peters family said in a statement.
Born in 1963, Peters attended Springbrook High School in Silver Spring. He later attended the University of Maryland where he earned a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1985. Later he earned an Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Baltimore in 1990.
