Fr. Steven Peay

Still missing my old friend! He was a good man.

Fr. Peay your memory will be everlasting in my mind. You were simply an Angel that visited in human flesh. Continue to rest till we meet to part no more. Ven. Dr Ernest Osuchukwu.

Dr. Peay was a huge influence on my wife and I as we went through our marriage classes with him. We had lengthy discussions and to this day, when my friends ask me what advise I have for marriage, it is the advice given to me by Dr. Peay.
" Marriage is about two things only; transparency and intention. Transparency in your love, in your pain, in your desires, and your insecurities.. As a loving partnership, you can't address these alone, and expect the relationship to succeed. ...

Steve was a confrere at St. Vincent Archabbey and one of my seminary professors. I thought the world of him. He made being a scholar look like fun. He was funny. He liked my sense of humor and encouraged me in many ways. I hope he’s enjoying Eternity, and I pray his loved ones have found acceptance and grace in his passing. I can still hear him laughing.

Such a great, generous, and caring spirit. Though I knew him only a little, he influenced me a lot. May his memory be a blessing.

The world and our diocese has become a better place, thanks to to the loving presence of Fr. Steven Peay.

I met Steve at Wabash Free Methodist campground when we were kids. He fascinated me with his thirst for knowledge and loved to share what he was learning! He also, had a great sense of humor! I didn't realize that he was having a difficult time with his health. I spoke with him at the beginning of this summer and he never said a word. He will be missed! See you in heaven, Steve!

I am truly amazed by the life he’s led as so well-detailed above. He has lived many lifetimes in all he’s accomplished, yet he was a humble man of the cloth. Well done, good and faithful servant.
My sympathies to you, Julie and family.
