Obituary

"ALL day and ALL night the Angles are watching over the Peele Family"

"Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." -Deuteronomy 31:6

William "Bill" Peele was a beloved son, husband, father, family member, friend, and respected member of his community. He was a man whose presence brought warmth, laughter, and genuine kindness to those fortunate enough to know him. During the early morning hours of September 16, 2026, "Bill" peacefully transitioned from this earthly life, leaving behind a legacy that will forever live in the hearts of those who loved him.

"Bill" was the son of the late William and Rebecca Peele. He was also, preceded in death by his sons-William Terry and Randy Peele, grandson-James Daniel Maners and brothers-Larry and John Peele.

William proudly served his country in the United States Army, demonstrating the same dedication, commitment, and sense of duty that he carried throughout his life. "Bill" was a professional auctioneer, a career that perfectly suited his outgoing personality and natural ability to connect with people. He had a gift for conversation and could make anyone feel welcome.

William also had a love for looking his best. He loved to dress, taking pride in his appearance and carrying himself with confidence and style. Whether he was attending an important occasion or simply going about his day, William understood that looking good was part of feeling good. His sense of style was one of the many things that made him uniquely William.

Among his greatest passions was fishing. William didn't simply enjoy fishing—he loved it wholeheartedly. The water, the competition, the camaraderie, and the peaceful moments spent outdoors brought him tremendous joy. "Bill" grandson enjoyed the days that they would go fishing together.

The life and legacy of "Bill" will be celebrated on Sunday, September 20, 2026 at one-thirty in the afternoon on the terra firma of the Peele Family Estate.

His character, friendliness, and genuine concern for others made him someone people remembered fondly. He had a way of making people laugh, feel comfortable, and feel valued.

the memories of William Peele will continue to live on through the family and friends who loved him, including his beloved wife- Nancy McKeithan Peele; daughters-Kimberly Wilson (Jay) and Amy Maners (Michael); grandson-David Maners; granddaughter-Kari Wright; brother- Charles Peele (Elizabeth).
