Peter Francois Obituary

Peter Justin "PJ" Francois
Peter Justin "PJ" Francois, 19, of Nampa passed away Monday, December 28, 2015 due to a car accident. PJ was born April 20, 1996 in Santa Rosa, California to Peter and Shari Feaster Francois. He graduated from Kuna High School as the school's Valedictorian in 2014. He was in his second year at Boise State working on a double major in Spanish and Pre-Med and carried a 3.98 GPA. He had a love for languages and was self-taught in French and Latin. His goal was to become a Doctor, focusing in either pediatrics or geriatrics/hospice. He worked at Brookdale Assisted Living in Boise as a full time CNA and Med-Tech and loved the residents as well as his co-workers. PJ loved his family. He enjoyed kisses on the forehead in the morning and late evening talks with his father. He was a wonderful example to his little brother. Enjoyed his weekly lunches and life-talks with his sister and bear-hugs and haircuts from his mom. He was profoundly cherished by his mother and father- he was truly their pride and joy. He loved and cherished his girlfriend Jordan, whom made an immeasurable impact in his and his family's lives. She will be forever treasured.
PJ loved to Roller-skate, to laugh and make others laugh. His laugh was like a warm blanket that was purposeful and right. He loved horror films and Skittles and late-night Mario Kart.
PJ is survived by his parents; siblings Ashley and Spencer; girlfriend Jordan Williams; grandparents Gene and Betty Feaster and Jim and Nancy Francois; uncles: Doug Kelley, Steven Feaster-Etychinson, Ken Feaster-Etychinson and Mark Hjelden; aunts Tracey Kelley and Nanette Francois and many more family and loved ones.
Memorial services will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, January 2, 2016 at Grace Bible Church, 1415 Lone Star Rd in Nampa. The services will be lived streamed at nampagrace.com for the residents he loved so much and for those who are far away and cannot attend. Arrangements are under the direction of Zeyer Funeral Chapel, Nampa. 467-7300. Condolences and memories may be left at zeyerfuneralchapel.com.
PJ was an extraordinary, brilliant, loving, kind, humble, indescribable treasure and will be forever missed by all who knew him.

PJ show em in the kingdom of heaven just how great God's work truly is! He willed in you PJ all the character traits and inner soul of his begotten son Jesus did while he walked in the flesh before Cavalry. You will always be my default example of how great God's abilities are to create a son like you to touch and amaze so many of us here in the flesh! Shine on forever more PJ! and to Peter Sr. I LOVE YOU MY BROTHER, AND I ACHE IN PAIN FOR YOU.
