Jack PEYTON Obituary

Jack was born in Sacramento on Aug 25, 1945. He passed away Dec 26, 2015. He is survived by his beloved bulldog, Rosebud. He is also survived by his sister Janet Whitham (husband Butch), brother Jim Peyton (wife Karen), and sister Jeanne Cole. Jack lived in Sacramento his entire life and graduated from C.K. McClatchy High School and Sacramento City College. He worked for the State of Calif for over 30 years with the majority of years in Administration at the Dept of Corrections. He was in the Army and served in the Viet Nam War. He enjoyed walking his dog Rosebud (Rosie) in Wm. Land Park. He made many wonderful friends with other dog walkers. At his request there will be no service. A memorial bench will be put in the park in his honor. A dedication will be made at that time. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and all who knew him.

Jug,
It's hard to believe it's been almost 10 years already. I miss you and hope you are up there somewhere. It's hard to see the 2015 on your plaque and know you are not with us. Thank you for spending time with me when I was a child and doing stuff like watch TV and play games with me at Granny's house. Thank you for making the rocking horse for me. You and I were at Granny's house all the way to the end. I remember many a Sunday with you driving Granny and Gramps around coming back from somewhere and going down Broadway with the cruisers. I remember some candid conversations we had and things you said in public, that didn't hold back the truth. Thank you for that as well. I remember you watching Bob Vila and knowing every type of classic car, working on model trains, getting magazines, and explaining things about model trains, as well as fixing things related to houses whether it be yours, Granny's, etc like a real handyman. I remember you on your day every year that I have. There was confusion many a time, but I love you, and always will.

While I watched Jack and Rosebud for a few years every morning as I drove to work, it wasn't until this past year that I finally got my chance to meet them. After parking, I excitedly and quickly exited so I could catch the two of them as they passed. We talked about bulldogs while treats and pats on the head were given to Rosie. I'm glad I got that chance to meet them because my day was even brighter when I got a chance to see them and wave at the start of my day. Please give Rosie a hug for me. I will miss them both.

I met Jack when Corrections was at 7th & K. He had a "quiet" voice. Always had a great smile and was quick to say hi when I'd see him on the streets after he retired. Rest in peace, Jack.

May your Mustang rides never end!

Jack was my Administrative Manager at CDCR for many years-he was why I stayed after helping me with a promotion. He was a smart, funny, creative person, who loved cows-at least drawing them. Over a period of time he compiled several hundred 'drawings' from his computer and he got better and better at it. I saved every single one of them and for his birthday (68th I think), I gave them to him in a binder. He was so shocked, and I think-happy that someone thought about it. Some of us would get together periodically for lunch; he never missed one. I will miss him, his conversations about his loved Rosebud (how could anyone who knew Jack, not know about that wonderful dog?!), his love of Mustangs, his 'private-ness', his being a quiet friend and his willingness to help if he could. Rest in peace Jack.

Our morning runs around William Land Park will never be the same, and my husband and I will never forget Jack and Rosebud. I wish we had stopped more frequently to chat and share a biscuit with Rosebud. They leave a huge hole in the Land Park community.

We are also park walkers and enjoyed our visits with Jack and Rosebud. So sorry for your loss...

My deepest condolences to family and friends. Though we didn't know Jack personally, we were some of the many people who exchanged pleasantries around the SLP neighborhood with this dynamic duo. We also have a bulldog the same age and Rosebud. Such a kind man. This duo touched many! I hope Rosebud adjusts well to Kansas.

Smartest man I ever met. He loved retirement and always told me to say "hi" to Arnie when I on my way to work. God bless you Jack. Say hey to Ann

It was an honor to work for you, Jack..

A memorial bench in the park is perfect because I remember you taking daily walks during your lunch hour.

RIP.

I remember the Peyton family from when I was child. We were neighbors. My family had corner grocery store and we would play together. Janet was closer to my age. I am very sorry for The loss of Jack. I have only wonderful memories of the Peyton family and the "J"

Dear Jeanne and family: I am so sorry to hear about Jack. Jeanne, this has been a year of terrible loss and I can't say what's in my heart right now. Just know how I am thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.
