GERALD "GERRY" PEACHER

Nov. 11, 1948 - Apr. 12, 2025

Gerald (Gerry) Peacher, was born on November 11, 1948, in southern Illinois and came to the Imperial Valley in 1972. He passed away on April 12, 2025, in El Centro, California. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother and was deeply loved by his family. His grandchildren were at the center of his life, which was evident to those who knew him.

Gerry made many friends in his career working in the geothermal industry as a draftsman and safety inspector and as the Public Works Manager for the city of Holtville. Gerry also had a large family in his community of Jehovah's Witnesses. He served the congregation in many capacities for many years and was loved and respected for his deep love of God, kindness, fairness, and humility. Gerry's personality drew people to him. His quick wit and demeanor was disarming and he took delight in making people laugh and feel at ease with him.

Gerry was preceded in death by his father, Alfred Peacher, and sister, Kristie Peacher. He is survived by his mother, Juanita Peacher; his wife of 50 years, Diana Peacher; son, Nathan (Carla) Peacher; sisters, Judy Bowlby (Chris) and Kathy Ham (Tom); grandchildren, Kianna and Julien Peacher; and numerous nieces and nephews.

A memorial service for Gerry will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, located at 515 W. Aten Road, Imperial, CA on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 10 a.m. It will also be available on Zoom at: Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83296902026?pwd=mTmTlRCpTJAknke86FjNDNho1tzqDh.1 Meeting ID: 832 9690 2026 Passcode: 248661 Burial will be private.
