Robert Peavey Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 17, 2024.
Robert (Bob) Edward Peavey passed away peacefully in his home full of love, on December 14, 2024. He was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas on October 25, 1952.

Preceded in death by his parents, James and Genevieve Peavey. Survived by his spouse, Dalene Peavey, son Ryan Peavey, daughter Alison Bishop (Ted Bishop), grandsons Cooper and Rex Bishop, all of Wichita, and brother James Peavey of Plano, TX.

He served in the United States Air Force and graduated from Wichita State University with a degree in accounting. Obtaining a CPA license, he worked in corporate finance for over 40 years. He enjoyed an early retirement allowing him to spend more time with his family.

Those who knew him, know his love of travel and experiencing life to fullest. He was an avid Shocker enthusiast and a loyal Chiefs fan. He played in a poker league and numerous golf leagues and really enjoyed the brotherhood both of these hobbies gave him. He loved a cold beer, a good laugh, a great story and telling a mediocre joke. He was a phenomenon at water-skiing, growing up on the water and riding horses with his brother and parents. But above everything he loved, was the love he had for his wife. He called her Daylight. They traveled around the world together and were to celebrate 49 years of marriage in January.

We will be honoring Bob with a celebration of life on December 29, 2024 at Reflection Ridge Clubhouse, from 3-6; 7700 W Reflection Rd, Wichita, KS, 67205. I hope that you'll come, have a beer and share stories of our beloved Bob. Truly a legend.

I am sad to hear of Bobby´s passing. We were great friends growing up in Pine Bluff from elementary school days. We both graduated from PBHS & went to Hendrix College. Enjoyed some really fun times together. May God bless & comfort Bobby´s loved ones.

My best friend's husband. Talented: Never knew he water skied, but heard him play the guitar back in the day. Funny: a joke or two about Darlene's and my estate sale shopping and wanting to go with us and what we bought. Smart: Always quick with finance advice. Father & Grandfather: He loved his family! Spent time with them as babysitter, at sporting events, road trips, vacations, he was present for it all expanding their worlds. Husband: Bob supported Dalene with her family, work, passions and friendships. He was a good man who truly loved his wife. His laughter will be missed.
