Allen Peregoy Obituary

Allen Michael Peregoy

On Tuesday, October 5, 2010, just twenty-six days shy of his thirteenth birthday, Allen Michael Peregoy, known by many as AJ was taken peacefully by God with his mother Crystal and father Allen at his bedside following his fierce struggle with cancer.

AJ, better known as "Boo" to his parents, was born October 31, 1997, in Charlottesville, Virginia. AJ resided in the small rural county of Fluvanna in the town of Troy, Virginia. He was well known within his local community; he will be remembered for his captivating eyes and his sparkling, everlasting smile that could light up anyone's universe and take your heart away. AJ was friends with everyone, especially his classmates from Fluvanna Middle School where AJ attended and was so loved. The impact that AJ had on others during his all too short life was displayed most poignantly by all the support shown to him and his family during his illness.

Like most children his age, AJ enjoyed playing video games, listening to music, watching TV and scary movies with his mom, and of course playing sports. He enjoyed fishing, camping, hunting, and loved riding four-wheelers with his dad. He was curious and always sought out new, daring challenges and thrills.There was no stopping AJ. AJ shared his interests with his loving and devoted parents. Together they were the three musketeers, AJ, Allen and Crystal.

AJ was larger than life and was captivated by mostly by his love of baseball, his favorite sport. Raised as a Yankee fan, AJ began playing baseball at the age of six with Fluvanna Youth Baseball; donning the "#3" jersey year after year. AJ was a four time All-Star and he was a member of the 2009 "U-11" district winning team and state runner-up. After a stunning comeback from his illness, AJ played his last game at Carysbrook. During this game, he went one for one with a base hit and a walk. Although AJ played the infield and was a pitcher during his baseball career, on this day AJ played right field. AJ's catch of a fly ball in short right field helped propel his team to victory. Sadly, that would be his last day on the diamond, but he never lost his love for the game.

AJ's life can be summed up by his fierce competitiveness on and off the field, his dedication to others and his team, his commitment and willingness to never give up, and most of all his love for his mom and dad. He will always be an inspiration to all of those who he touched with those beautiful eyes and his heart stealing smile. We have all been graced by God to have known and loved him.

AJ is survived by his parents, Crystal Edwards and Allen Peregoy; grandparents, Christine Snow, Butch and Linda Peregoy; aunts and uncles, Travis Snow, Linda Lamb, Brian and Heather Peregoy; cousins, Taylor Snow and Devon Peregoy.

A celebration of AJ's life will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, October 9, 2010, at the Fluvanna Middle School. AJ will be laid to rest at the Beaver Dam Cemetery by Sheridan Funeral Home in a private service.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be forwarded to Crystal Edwards, 4050 Richmond Road, Troy, VA 22974.

Allen and Crystal would like to extend their deepest appreciation and gratitude for all of your support, prayers, flowers, donations and especially the love that you have shared with their family over the last two years.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of AJ. My son played with him on the Brewers team several years ago when Allen was the coach. I didn't know AJ but I was impressed with him as a young ballplayer. My deepest sympathies go to you Crystal and Allen. I know that AJ is in the glories of Heaven right now. God bless you thru this terrible time and for always.

God's Garden
God looked around his garden And He found an empty place. And then He looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the b...est. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered"Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you. But you didn't go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. We all love you so much Crystal and Allen. We will carry you until you can stand on your own.
Love, Susan, Buck, Hunter and Colby

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Allen and Crystal,
Our family never had the honor of meeting your son, AJ. My 8 year old heard of AJ's passing today and cried all the way home from practice. He was very saddened by this. We all are and we wish there was something that we could do or say to ease your hurt. I believe the Bible says to rejoice when one returns home to the Lord. Yes, our human hearts are hurting, but our spiritual souls should be elated to know that AJ is being rocked in the arms of Jesus at this moment. AJ is healthy, happy, and looking down on you; thanking you for your love, support, and for being the most wonderful and caring parents a child could ask for. God gave him to you because He knew this day would come. He knew who He could trust to bring a beautiful young man into this world and raise him to impact and touch the lives of this county as AJ has. Our family will continue to think of you and AJ. We pray that God will strengthen you each day. God bless you.

It's at times like this that saying I'm so sorry just doesn't seem to be enough. AJ is without pain, and his memory will live within each of us who knew him.

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. John 3:16

I keep your family in my prayers.

Sandi Childress-Vazquez

October 7, 2010

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Crystal & Allen,
I am grieving for you.
For the loss of AJ. For the loss of your hopes and dreams for him. For the loss of life as you knew it. For the loss of relationships that are changed. For the loss of innocence.
I am also praying for you.
For strength. For sustained faith. For moments of comfort. For God’s surrounding love. For friends and family who understand your pain. For glimmers of light. For each new day. For a future yet to unfold.
We love you, Crystal & Allen, and are blessed to know you. Lean on us when you need to. Know that we wish to be your network of support. Sometimes invisible, but always there.

Your friend,
Sherri Wheeler

To AJ's loving family: I didn't have the pleasure of knowing this amazing little boy. I am the sister of Jimmy, Wayne and Maynard Peregoy,Sr. I'm from Poquoson, Va.and have tried to keep up with his health through Lisa's postings. My heart is broken though for the loss that you have suffered. Children are such a blessing from God and I know that you were blessed with this precious child for such a short time. Just hang on to those irreplacable memories and he'll always be close to you. There aren't any words that can fill that hole in your heart, but please take comfort in knowing that he's GOD's child now and he will be well taken care of. His suffering is over and he's shining in his new home. My deepest sympathy goes out to you.

We have lost a precious gift in AJ. Simple words can not express how sorry we are to hear of his passing. God had a better plan for AJ and even though us, the ones he's left behind can't understand it, take peace in knowing he's finally at rest and home with the Lord. If there is anything we could ever do, please don't hesitate to let any of us know. I know all of us would come running at first notice.

Little Angels
When God calls little children
to dwell with Him above.
We mortals sometimes question
the wisdom of His love.
for no heartache compares with
the death of one small child,
who does so much to make our world
seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them
and so He takes but few,
to make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult
still somehow me must try.
The saddest word mankind know
will always be "Goodbye".
So when a child departs
we who are left behind,
must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

Allen, Crystal and family...Our hearts are heavy and our thoughts are filled with you. Words cannot express how sincerely sorry we are for the loss of your shining light. Find strength in God, each other, and the many friends and family who want nothing more than to show their support. AJ died on our daughter's birthday. Rest assured that he is gone in body, but will never be forgotten in our hearts or minds. Dana and Gregory Patterson (Fork Union, VA)
