Matthew Bradney Pieper

LANCASTER: Matthew Bradney Pieper "Brad" was born October 11, 1964 and was killed in a tragic motorcycle accident in California on September 25, 2014. His love of life, broad smile and booming laugh will be forever missed by all who knew him.

Brad is survived by his mother, Lynn Pitt of Lancaster, father Richard "Dick" Pieper of Marietta, OK; his son, Zak Pieper of Chicago, IL; his aunt and uncle, Tina and Howard Price of Sarasota, FL; the love of his life, Krissy Zuber; her children he considered his own, Tiera, Jeramie and Thor; and his brother in life, Joel Hengstenberger.

His second family was the Company Wrench, where he had been employed for the past 10 years driving his beloved big truck with great pride as he delivered the largest of equipment nationally.

He will also be missed by all of his brothers in his motorcycle family. Be assured he is riding the Harley of his dreams on the greatest of rides.

A memorial service will be held at Vineyard Church, 431 Whiley Rd. SW, Lancaster, OH on Wednesday, October 8. Family will receive friends from 1-3pm, with services at 2pm.

My most sincere condolences to Brad's family.Hold tight to memories for comfort. (Believe it or not I cant seem to find the words.) Brad your one of a kind. I must say I have the utmost respect for you. I have always admired you and Krissy, and the special bond the two of you shared. I will miss your laugh, the sparkle in your eye whenever you would look at Krissy. From the look on your face Krissy always seemed to make everything better, and vice verse. I thank you and Krissy for being there for me. You will be missed more than words could ever describe. Give my Mom a hug for me and Tell Roger hello. Love and miss you!!!
