Born on December 19, 1985 to Al and Carolyn Peeler into a wonderful family. Jeremy grew up surrounded by his cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents, on the same piece of land he would raise his own girls. He had the best childhood filled with the freedom to roam, break the rules and push any boundary set. Jeremy’s love of farming and tractors began in elementary school. He loved driving and operating equipment and critiquing his Daddy and brother’s tractor skills from elementary school into adulthood. Jeremy attended Davis Elementary and went onto GMC in 6th grade where he would meet his future wife, Jessica at the age of 15. Jeremy completed his senior year of his high school career at John Hanock. Academy. He graduated high school on a Friday evening and began working the following Monday at Sellar’s Construction in Gordon. Jeremy and Jessica married at 20 and 21 and started their life together. By the age of 25 and 26, they had welcomed both of their beautiful daughters Julianna and Jamilynn. Jeremy was just what Jessica needed, he always reminded her to live life and have fun. Jeremy’s fierce love for his daughters made him the proudest. Julianna and Jamilynn are the perfect product of their parents’ love and a testament to the love in their household. Jeremy did all things to the fullest. He grew up with his brother Josh by his side and their bond was unmatched. The two brothers set their own roots and chose to raise their families together on the same land they grew up on. Jeremey went on to follow in his paternal and maternal grandfather’s footsteps and purchase his own log truck in the middle of a recession in 2008. Jeremy excelled as a log truck driver, his excellent work ethic and mechanical aptitude made him well known in the logging community. This allowed Jeremy to collect the finest of 80’s model big trucks, he loved each one and could always see the potential in the machine. Jeremy got great pleasure from taking old rigs and outdoing any new truck on the road. After many years of being in the logging industry and continued hardships, he decided to make a change, he went to work at Barksdales in Sandersville. Jeremy thoroughly enjoyed the break from the pressures of being self employed. This change allowed him to spend more time on the river, to ride, start new projects and enjoy his friends. Jeremy is survived by his wife, Jessica Moats Peeler of Milledgeville ; Two daughters, Julianna Averie Peeler, and Jamilynn Addison Peeler, both of Milledgeville ; his parents, Holmes “Al” Peeler and Carolyn Brown Peeler of Milledgeville ; his brother, Joshua (& Farrer) Peeler of Milledgeville ; his nieces, Charley and Emma ; his mother-in-law, Debra Moats of Milledgeville ; his brother-in-law, Jason (& Hannah) Jackson ; a niece, Wrensley Jackson ; and special friends, Jason, Heather, and Jase Roberts.
