John Edwin Peecher

John “Johnny” Edwin Peecher, age 54, born on November 19, 1970 to Diana Lee Stitle and John Wesley Peecher, in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. John was raised in Clintonville Ohio, by Edward and Joann Eberhard. He attended Crestview Middle School, followed by Linden Mckinley High School. John graduated with his high school diploma and soon after went to complete the fire academy program. John was also a proud member of the Local 200 Carpenters Union for close to twenty years. John unfortunately passed away on Friday, August 16, 2024. John passed onto a better place pridefully at his home. John leaves behind a loving wife of 35 years, Eva (Hall) Peecher. John and Eva share two amazing children together, Brittany Peecher (Michael Carrico) and John (Alexes) Peecher. John took pride in the amazing family that he created, including his grandchildren that he loved dearly: Makiyla, Noah, Kayden, Kyrie, and A’Liyah. John has had many titles; kind hearted human, miracle son, outspoken brother, dedicated husband, courageous father, one of a kind Grampie, favorite cousin, hard working man, dependable friend, “the man”, a genius and many more. So many in fact, that time could never allow us to name them all. He was fascinated with the ocean, dolphins, coral reef snorkeling, and deep sea fishing growing up with his uncle. We are BEYOND SURE that he is now on a fishing boat in the middle of the ocean, somewhere close to the Florida Keys. We all miss him more than we could EVER explain, but again, we all know he is off to a better life already! As we all grieve in our own ways, one thing that we can all agree on is that he TRULY created and left a legacy that will forever be remembered in his name, Johnny Peecher. Until you are seen again, we know you will watch over us all and carry us all home safely. You will make sure we are filled with love in our hearts. We love you forever and ever and will remember you everyday. A memorial service in John’s name will be held on Saturday, October 12, 2024 at 5:00pm at 4251 Maize Road, Columbus, Ohio, 43224. Family suggests that in memorial of John, guests dress in your Ohio State Buckeye gear, if desired, but NOT mandatory! John held an outstanding love for the Ohio State Buckeyes and we want to make sure everyone gets to share that love! Family asks that in place of purchasing flowers, please reach out to the family to donate towards the memorial funds, and assistance with the financial needs of the family during this difficult time. Family sends any and all appreciation considered. We appreciate the consideration and all of the love that has been shared with us all during this time, and we hope to see everyone there for one last Grampie gathering!
