R J Peavey Jr was born on February 1, 1938 and left this world on December 16, 2021.
RJ loved to work on cars until his back no longer allowed him to. Even then you could call him and describe your problem, he would give you a diagnosis and tell you what he thought would fix it. His favorite pastime was listening to the police scanner. You would get a call from him if there was a wreck/activity in the area you were at, just to make sure you were not involved.
RJ loved spending time with his family and telling his life stories. He cherished every moment he was able to do this. He treasured every phone call/text he received as well.
RJ is survived by his wife Itaska; daughters Benita (Kelly) Hardin, Teresa (Todd) Prestien. Grandchildren Kasey (Jake) Schwartz; Tyler (Yajahira) Prestien and Tanner Prestien; great-grandchildren Jobe, Jake, Gunner, Gizelle. Stepchildren and their families (who he loved as his own) Rick (Roxie) Doty, Sheila Doty and Donna (David) Scoggins. Which include 7 step-grandchildren and 13 step-great-grandchildren and 2 step-great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents RJ, Sr and Jewell Peavey and his 1st wife Pita.
