Obituary: Jeffrey Wallace Peacock

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Jeff Peacock, who left this world on May 9, 2025, at the age of 47.

Born on Feb. 4, 1978, Jeff brought warmth, laughter and kindness to every life he touched. A devoted father, Jeff found his greatest joy and pride in raising his two sons, Joey and Josh. His love for them was unwavering, and he embraced every moment of fatherhood with passion and gratitude. His boys were the center of his world, and he never let a day pass without showing them how deeply he cared.

Jeff was the beloved son of Don and Cherie Peacock, the brother of Amy Peacock, uncle to Kaelyn Peacock and boyfriend to Alyssa Kirwan.  

A longtime Florida Gators fan, Jeff’s enthusiasm for his team was infectious. He also had a special place in his heart for his dogs, who were never far from his side and always treated like family.

Jeff had an extraordinary gift for friendship. Whether you'd known him for years or just met him in passing, he had a way of making you feel welcome, valued and understood. His smile lit up rooms, and his laughter was the kind you never forgot.

Though Jeff's time with us was far too short, the impact he made will be felt for generations. He will be remembered for his big heart, his deep love for family, and the way he treated everyone like a friend.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved.

A celebration of life was held May 31 in Winter Garden. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made in Jeff’s memory to the Humane Society of North Central Florida.
