It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jeffrey Scott Peppenhorst, a devoted father, son, brother, and friend.

Born with the soul of a farmer, Jeff embraced life with humility and a deep connection to his Illinois farmland. His passion for the St. Louis Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys remained steadfast, no matter their wins or losses. He stood by them, just as he stood by those he loved—through the good times and the bad.

To his children, Ryan, Allyson, and Tyler Peppenhorst, Jeff was more than just a father. He was their superhero, always there with unwavering support, a listening ear, and endless love. He was their biggest fan, cheering them on in every endeavor, with humor and a dimple that could brighten even the darkest of days.

Jeffrey is survived by his three children, beloved mother, Linda Peppenhorst, his brother, John Peppenhorst, and his sister, Lori Spalding. He is now reunited with his father, John, and dancing with Jesus, free of pain. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and all who knew him.

We will celebrate Jeff’s life this Saturday, gathering together to honor the man who found joy in the simple things—bonfires with his dog, Shadow, Euchre tournaments with family, and spending quality time with his loved ones. He will forever be remembered for his quiet strength, his love of the land, and his endless devotion to those he held dear.
