Jeffrey W. Pieper

Jeffrey W. Pieper, 57, of Waterloo, IL, died June 27, 2024, in Waterloo, IL. He was born January 1, 1967, in Red Bud, IL.

He is survived by his children Jessie (Jason) McBride and Brandi (Andrew) Haare; grandchildren Kate, Maci, and Lexi McBride; siblings Brent (Nancy) Pieper, Bonnie (David) Garner, Barbara (Stanley) Westhues, and Juanita (Bryan) Grither; aunt Loretta (Clint) Morrissett and uncle Ellery Hawkins; nieces; nephew; great nieces; and nephews.

Jeff is preceded in death by his parents Walter R. and Bernadette E. (nee Korte) Pieper; aunts; uncles; and grandparents.

He was a member of SS Peter and Paul Church - Waterloo, and owner of Pieper Landscaping.

Father, Grandfather, Uncle, and brother Jeff's family meant everything to him. His large hugs and huge firm hands held tight his granddaughters and that brood of nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews whose smiles were evident in their laughter and joy at his presence.

Business owner, and a "landscape" of passion and hard work. An exceptional athlete as a youngster, he is a member of the Gibault High School Hall of Fame, yet his devotion to those with addictions as a sponsor and mentor were always his greatest achievements.

A struggle with those ugly illnesses of the heart and sweetness have made his life short.

Gone far too early, his love and friendship will be missed greatly by his family and friends. May your love and generosity live on with you within God's presence as you have done here on earth.

We will love you forever and ever......

As an expression of sympathy, the family prefers memorial contributions to:SS Peter and Paul Church, Gibault High School, or American Heart Assn.
