Peter Rayner

British Sgt Peter Rayner, age 34, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, of 2nd Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, was killed on 8 October, 2010, in Afghanistan.

He is survived by his widow, Wendy and his 6 year old son, Derek, his parents and numerous family members.  Sgt Rayner, a keen mountain biker, had previously served in Bosnia and Iraq and died during a second tour of Afghanistan.  He was a fantastic loving husband and father, son, son-in-law, brother and brother-in-law, who loved his job and doing something which he believed in, said his wife. As a soldier he loved his job and was totally committed to the Army, as well as his family and friends. As a son and brother, he was a fun loving and caring person of whom we are all very proud. We loved him so dearly and will miss him with all our hearts.

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Peter Rayner is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
