Fall River --Jay Peeper, 55, answered the call of his Savior on Friday, July 9, and went to his heavenly home, following a lengthy illness.

Jay was born on August 8, 1965 in Columbus, Wisconsin, the son of George and Georgene (Appert) Peeper, the descendent of Columbia County, Wisconsin and Emmet County, North Dakota's early pioneers.  He loved farming, old things, history, trains, and a good laugh.

On April 9, 1988 Jay married Marlene Miescher.  Unspeakable joy came to his life on March 26, 1992 when his daughter Jacqueline Rose was born, and on June 20, 2013 when his granddaughter Amelia Ann entered his life.

He was employed by Swiss Colony Brands for many years, and most recently by Kraft Foods, Beaver Dam.  He was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Doylestown.

Jay is survived by his wife Marlene, daughter Jacqueline and granddaughter Amelia.  He is also survived by his sister, Karen Sugden; brother George (Carol) Peeper; mother-in-law Sally Miescher; sisters and brothers in law Margaret and John Schmidt, Patricia and David Kopplin, Barbara Paar, Pamela Miescher; his aunts Pearl Anderson,  Yvonne Lee, Dorothy Appert, Bonnie Appert, Tien Appert, Joann Appert, Renee Appert, and Doreen Appert; uncles Loren Lee,  Richard Lipp, and Damian Appert; numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and special friends Don and Idell Myers, the Dan Hendricks family, and many other close friends and treasured neighbors.

Jay has joined his brother Jeffrey, his parents, father-in-law Fred Miescher, brothers-in- law Raymond Sugden, Robert Paar, and George Miescher as well as numerous other family members in Heaven.
