I am incredibly saddened as I just learned of Walter's passing and send heartfelt condolences to Andrea and family. 
Walter was my good buddy at A&M and was an incredibly positive influence at a time in my life when I needed it most. Fond memories include that twinkle in his eye, climbing the Chemistry building (!) and singing at the top of our lungs to The Eagles in his jeep on the way to Guido's in Galveston when he wanted to take me out for seafood -- from A&M! Walter met Andrea about the same time I met Chuck and we married less than a week apart. We always agreed on how incredibly fortunate we were to have found our true loves. 
As happens with great friendships, the last time I saw Walter, about six or seven years ago, it was like old times. We caught up on kids and family and deepened commitments to life and faith. He had changed little. He was the same man of sincere caring and integrity, of strong faith and all with the twinkle in his eye. I left with that same upbeat ""embrace the world"" feeling that Walter always left me with. And I will hang on to that feeling to honor such a very wonderful man.

Andrea,  We are so sad to hear of Walt's passing.  I had such great time with him during the scouting adventure and HCS events.  Your friendship and family are important to us.  I am sorry I just found out so late and could not be there earlier.  We love you guys.

Don and I are so sorry for your loss. We met Walt through ALCC long ago. We loved hearing about his adventures and endeavors with his races, etc. He had a great spirit. May your memories lift you at this sad time. Walt will always be with you.

Andrea
Sorry to be so long in chatting with you.
I have been trying to come up with something witty to say. All I can say is that I didn't get to know Walt for very long which I now know is not fair to me. He taught me alot and we had a blast along the way. Please let me know if you need help with wrapping up any loose ends.

p.s. I have been trying to find away to get ahold of you.

Dear Andrea, Mary and Page,
I did not have the pleasure of meeting Walt. I knew him only through two of the kindest and most thoughtful women I know - Andrea and Sandy. While I read the guest book, I was stricken with love and admiration for this extraordinary man, and wonderful husband and father. Never having met Walt, still I am moved to feel: ""At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.""
All of you are in our prayers and thoughts. Our heartfelt condolences go out to you today and always.

Ginger:
We were really sorry to hear about your brother passing.  We will be praying for the family and hope you will be feeling better soon.  I will try to catch up with you on things in the near future.  It was so great seeing you at the reunion--we need to keep in touch.
With love in our hearts,

I was so sorry to hear about your loss. Susan was a good friend of mine in high school, and I was always impressed with how nice all of her family was. All of you family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Ginger, I am very sorry to learn of the loss of your brother. You and your family are in my prayers.

The confidence and encouragement that Walt poured into my life will never leave me. He was an amazing friend and taught me that people are always more important than the bottom line. 
Thank you Walt, I'll never forget that.

My heart goes out to the whole family as I know losing Walter was a shock.  I didn't know the man Walter, but I knew the teenager Walter as his sister Ginger was one of my closest friends in high school.  Walter, as I called him then, was always just nice and friendly.  I never remember him having a bad word to say about anyone.  I am sure he only got better with his own family to love and I know you all will miss him.  I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers, and a special hug goes out to Ginger, Camille and Susan as I knew them the best of his family.

Gone From My Sight
by Henry Van Dyke
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, ""There, she is gone""
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, ""There, she is gone,""
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, ""Here she comes!""
And that is dying...

Ginger, I am so sorry to hear this news of your brother's passing. You are in my prayers as I ask God to give you strength to cope with this great loss.

Walter was a cousin whom I had never met.  I do remember his grandmother, Idelle Webb Peeples; and I loved ""Aunt Idoo"" very much.  My sympathies go out to his family.  I am sure that he will be missed.
Barbara Owens (daughter of Anna Lou Webb Owens)

We are so extremely saddened by the loss of Mr. Peeples.  You all are in our thoughts and prayers continuously.

My heart goes out to the immediate relatives of my cousin Walt. Besides the accomplishments of his life (including a great family of his own), he had the gift of real kindness and knew how to be close. The two conversations he and I had in the last 6 years were very important to me. Iâ???Tm sad to have missed the opportunity to know him better, but I feel lucky to have known him at all. All the best to the family, and to his communities at large, in mourning this good man.

Andrea,
I was saddened to hear of Walt's passing from Rita & Gary the other day.  It's been many years since Walt worked with me at Vermejo and though we didn't keep in touch I've remembered him often over the years.  Please accept my condolences for your loss.

I met Walt and Andrea during my college days... a number of years ago, through Sandy Evans Landwerlen. Sandy brought us to their house during a ski trip and they were so kind to put us up for a few days.  I just remember Walt to be a kind, strong man and I was inspired by his determination.  We will keep Andrea and family in our prayers...

Family of Walt: I met Walt many years ago when I worked for Bartran Homes. He installed fencing in the subdivision. I always enjoyed talking with him. My husband knew Walt through Wyatt Construction. We both highly regarded his work and ethics. We are sorry to learn of his death.

Oh Andrea ~ All my love and thoughts are with you!  Take care of yourself and remember all the love and look at your beautiful children to help you through! Love you always, Di

I was truly sorry to hear of your loss, and wish you the best for the future.

Very sorry to hear of your loss.  I enjoyed the time I spent with Walt in Wyoming.  He is someone who will be greatly missed.  If you guys need anything don't hesitate to ask. - John (Pat's cousin)

Dear Peeples Family:
Just wanted to let you know that we are thinking about you at this very sad time.  When we think of the good times at scouts, we can't help but remember all the good times with the Peeples.  We will keep you in our hearts, our thoughts, and our prayers.

Late in hearing the news, but wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Walt IV, and the rest of the Peeples family:
Death is a strange thing.  The people we often think will be with us are taken far too early.  We are left to think of all the good times that we had and await the time in which we will all meet again in heaven.  Even though he's with the Lord, Walt will live on in our memories.  I offer my condolences and want to you to know that I'm praying for you all.
Love,
Benjamin M. Weilert

Dear Andrea, Mary and Walt,
So sorry to hear of Walt's passing, but we rejoice with you in knowing he is in heaven with our heavenly Father!  We are praying that God's peace would be with you in a strong presence, that the love of family and friends will help to carry you through, and that the many wonderful memories Walt created with you will be cherished forever!  
God bless, Scott, Kaye, JT & Tony Kohler

I remember taking down a fence with Walt. He really loved his trucks. He was the kind of guy that forced confidence out of you. Walt was a real leader and seemed to enjoy competition. He was the best boss ever.

I was so sorry to hear of the untimely passing of Walter.  On behalf of the West Point Parents Club of Colorado, I wish to extend our condolences and to let your know that Cadet Sergeant Peeples and family are in our thoughts and prayers during these unhappy times.

Andrea, I was shocked and saddened to hear about the loss of Walt.  He was one of my favorite customers over the years at the bank, and our friendship was very rewarding.  May your memories of Walt comfort you.  My thoughts are with you.

Dear Andrea, Walt & Mary,
We are very sorry to hear the loss of your loved one. We will be praying for your family and if we can do anything for you please let us know. This a very sad time for you all but you should also feel blessed that he is now in Heaven walking with Christ.
Love,
Matt & Amber Taranto

Andrea, I'm so sorry to hear about Walt's death. I was in the fence biz in 70's and early 80's. with Walt, We ran into you guys at the Moot House, a year or so back, and Walt came up and reintroduced himself and you to Bonnie and I. Our prayers are with you. God Bless, Pete and Bonnie Streicher

Andrea, Page and Mary,
Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family as we learned of the passing of Walt through a mutual friend.  I cannot express the shock and grief I share from your loss.  Take comfort in knowing he is with Christ and is at peace and joy.  If there is anything we can do, please do not hesitate to call.   Our prayers are with you that your pain and grief will be minimized by the knowledge he is with Christ and that you will see God's glory through this trial and that you will be strengthened in knowing that God is in control of all things and that as these end-times draw near, you can be reunited with Walt soon.   Blessings to all of you and we send our love and prayers.

Andrea, Walt & Mary~
    There aren't too many people in life that you can truly look up to and admire for their integrity, selflessness and outlook on life. But I don't hesitate to say that about Mr Peeples. Always a smile, always an encouraging word and always a generous heart. He was so fun and easy to ba around. From Glenwood Springs to making up games in his backyard, I will remember and cherish those times forever! He was such a blessing to me!
    You guys are in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in Gods grace, it is sufficient. May the Lord bless you and keep you in all of your ways.
          Sincerely,
                Andrew & Hannah

Dear Andrea and family,
We were heartbroken to open the paper this week and see Walterâ???Ts obituary.  It just doesnâ???Tt seem possible that Walter has passed away, and life doesnâ???Tt seem fair right now.  
We know itâ???Ts a terrible loss for you and your family.  But itâ???Ts also a big loss for all the people who knew Walter.  He was a wonderful, good-hearted, right-living person, through and through.  To know him was to love him.
As we talked about Walter over the past couple of days, we both individually came to the same realization:  Every time we ever were lucky enough to run into Walter, we came away feeling better about life and better about ourselves.  No matter where it was â???"" on the street, at a restaurant, at a race, at the city building department, or even in our yard when his crew was putting up fences â???"" it was always a delight to visit with him.  He made us feel like we really mattered to him.  
But, of course, you know all of this.  You saw it every day of your life for many years.  Weâ???Tre sure you wish those days with Walter could go on and on.  But we also know that you can take comfort in the thought of how lucky you were to have Walter in your life for as long as you did.  He was as good as they come.

My husband, Mark Lynch, was a childhood friend of Walt's.  Mark passed away 4 years ago.  While I understand your loss better than most, I take comfort in believing Walt was greeted by a dear friend when he reached heaven!  Your family is in my prayers.

I had the pleasure of working professionally with Walt in the contruction industry and experienced first hand both Walt's passion, energy and his tireless quest for excellence in his business. Walt's reputation for customer service and satisfaction was unmatched by any person I have worked with prior or may work with again. Walt's honesty, integrity and genuine personality were rare traits in the industry and will be sorely missed.  While I did not know Walt well outside of work, our conversations would often include news of family reflecting how involved Walt was with his children and how proud he was of their accomplishments. I wish to express my condolences to Walt's surviving family members.

Dear Andrea, Walt, and Mary,
Please know  that you are in our thoughts and prayers.  We are so sorry for the loss of your dearest friend and husband, and for your wonderful Father.  
We cherish our time together at Heritage and count in a privilege to have known and worked with your family. We can still remember seeing Walt's face light up a room, and his laughter bring great joy to many! He was one of the hardest workers at school, and he was truly an amazing man! We mostly remember him finding his greatest joy in his family...he loved to watch you all in action...as children...and as young adults.
May our Lord and Savior bring you comfort in the days to come, and may the love of your many friends and family members sustain you as well. 
You are greatly loved!
Blessings,
Dave, Reenie, Patrick, and Ryan Hollen

I grew up next to Walter Peeples in Houston. He was 12 years old and I was 8. My best memory of Walter  was one day one he and I were playing outside and one of his friends came over and asked if he wanted to come over and go swimming. A very inviting offer on a hot summer day in Houston. Walter said sure but could I come also? His friend didn't want an 8 year old tagging along and said no, I wasn't invited. Then Walter said"" Well if he can't go then I don't want to go "". His friend caved in and we all went swimming. I have always admired the guts he had to stand up for me as his friend and still remeber that day 40 years later. The world needs more Walter Peeples and he will be missed.

I personally want offer you my deepest condolences for your loss.
Walt and I go back many years in the construction field and he
was a strong man of integrety.
My prayers are with you and family.
Sincerely Ray J. Moutoux Heath Construction

I am so very sorry and shocked to hear about Walt and can't even imagine what the family is going through at this time.  Walt was a very special friend (more like family) to Mark, Mike and Steve Hesse for so many years.  Those deep friendships are rare and to be cherished.  He will be missed by all the lives he touched.  My thoughts and prayers go out to Andrea, Paige, Mary and the rest of the family.

Andrea, Paige and Mary....I believe that you are the only ones who may miss Walt more than me.  He was not only my best friend but truly my buddy.  I have such wonderful memories!  I thank God not only for our friendship but for the several occasions when Walt shared with me his true faith in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and how he knew he was going to heaven based on that alone.  I can truly hold on to that fact until it's my turn to join him in heaven with our Savior Jesus....thank you Lord for that comfort...Walt buddy...I miss you so much.....Craig

Walt IV and family -- we are so sorry (and stunned) to hear of your Dad's death this past week. We remember him visiting our home years ago to talk about West Point. We know how proud he was of all your accomplishments. As runners we shared a love of running and competition and we know that throughout his life he ""filled the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run."" We will keep you and your family in our prayers and think of him ""on the roads"".
LTC(Ret)Bill Doe (USMA, 1974), Sue Doe and Family

Andrea and family,  This morning I spoke with Judy and I'm so saddened to hear of Walts death.  At times like this it's difficult to find the words, but I just wanted you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I share your grief and send my love.

Andrea & Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Walt passing and shocked to hear this.  Walt was a great employeer while I worked for him while attending college in the early 90's and someone I respected on how handled all of his many responsibilities.  His passion for running encourgaged me to do the same and recall him talking about the races he would compete in and the fun he had.  I just recently ran in to him last year while competing at the Ft Collins marathon and he was so happy and having fun helping out at the finish line.  I will miss him very much as he was a very inspirational man to me, respected and I'm honered to have known him.

Andrea and family,
How terribly sad we all are for you.  Walt was one of the kindest people we have ever known.  We will cherish the fun and memories always.  He was so proud of all of you and his love was always shining.
We know he is with God because he was one of the very best.
All of our love and prayers.

Dear Andrea and Mary and Paige. How sorry we are to be so very far away during this difficult time. We wish we could be with you  at the service on Saturday night, not only to honor Walt and the wonderful friend we knew him to be, but also to hear of how greatly he blessed so many other lives. We know his influence upon those around him was immense. His support and encouragement to Rachel and his gracious hospitality to our family always put a smile on our faces.  Our hearts are deeply saddened, and our prayers are for the God of all comfort to encourage and strengthen you in the midst of your pain. 
Sincerely,
Chris, Barb, and Rachel Melby

Dear Andrea and Walt and Mary...You are in my prayers...and my heart and my thoughts...I cannot imagine your heartache yet I saw your courage this afternoon as you made yourselves available to those of us who wanted to share in your grief and express our love for all of you.
I want you to know that I will always remember how kind and loving you were with my mother at the school basketball/volleyball games.  She loved you all...your kindness speaks volumes for who you are in Christ.  Know He will be with you through the coming days.  He loves you.  He knows your pain and your suffering.  I am so sorry for your sudden loss of such  an incredible husband and father.  
In His Love,
Verlane

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Walt and was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing.  I was always touched by what a devoted family man he was and loved to watch his face light up when he would talk about his family and the activities they had participated in together.  He is a role model that will be missed, but in our memories forever.

I am stunned to hear of the Walt's passing and bewildered to the cause considering what I believed to be his excellent health. He was a very special person, and my heartfelt condolences to the family.

I will always remember Walt for his kindness and helpfulness.  Walt's class act and great sense of humor, he almost always had a grin on his face and let others feel very comfortable around him. I was happy to know him.  He absolutely loved his family. A glass of wine to you!Love , Jheri

Peeples Family,
I wish to pass along my sincere condolences in your lost. 
I  pray for peace and  comfort in your time of need.
Even though your hearts are heavy and deeply saddened, Walt has run to a better place. 
I hope that the beauty of all the fond and loving memories that you shared with him will overwhelm your heart with joy, happiness and wonderful memories.
I had the honor to work with Walt on several of my design projects and the last several years I had the privilege to serve with him on the FTC Parks and Recreation Board. 
He was a fine man and a strong champion of the community. His insight, warmth and wisdom will be missed.

Dear Peeples Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Walt's passing.  I met Walt when he was just starting Armadillo Fencing and he built a number of fences for us at Larimer County Parks and Open Lands.  I so enjoyed working with him over the years.  I am so sorry for your loss.
K-Lynn Cameron

I have worked with Walt for the last 3 years, and it was always a joy to meet and discuss jobs with him. He will truely be missed by the staff here at Thompson Schools. God Bless to the family of Walt. 
         Bob Dice

Peeples Family:
I was stunned to say the least at Walt's passing.  I wanted to tell you that I have the deepest respect for Walt.  His kind of businessman is especially rare to find anymore - one who is honest, delivers on their promises, and takes pride in their work.  You should be proud of his accomplishments and the many years of successful projects he completed.  We counted on him a lot.  I will really miss working with him.  My thoughts are with you all, I hope your family can find strength in this difficult time.  God Bless you Walt, you will be sorely missed.

I'm sorry for your loss.  Walt was a wonderful guy to work with!  Always dependable.  We'll miss his professionalism and his friendship.

Dear Andrea, Page and Mary,
Please accept our deepest and sincerest sympathy. We are so sorry for your loss. Know that we are with you in thought and in prayer. With much love, Rita & Gary

Dear Mrs. Peeples, Mary, and Paige, 
Words alone can not express the sorrow in my heart for your loss, as well as ours, in Mr. Peeples' passing. Mr. Peeples is present in many of my dearest childhood memories...from singing ""Rock Star"" on the way to basketball games, to training for harriers, Father-daughter dances...the list goes on. Mr. Peeples lived life to the fullest. He ran his race well. I pray with my whole heart that you will take comfort in knowing that he runs now with the angels and with Jesus at his side, no longer on rocky terrain, but on smooth streets of pure gold. And this time, instead of you cheering him on to the finish line, He will be waiting for you, with that million dollar smile on his face. Mary and Page, he was always your biggest fan; Mrs. Peeples, the love he had for you was genuine and true. I know he's smiling down upon you all right now, with more love and pride than ever before. 
Know that you are close to my heart and deep in my prayers. I pray that the Lord surrounds you with his love, and brings you peace. 
With all my love, 
Alex Gonzales

To Mrs. Peeples, Mary, and Paige...
Words cannot express my sorrow for you all in this most difficult time in your lives. I have been continuousely lifting you all in prayer hoping that you feel a touch of Jesus' loving peace in knowing that Mr. Peeples walks beside Him now in Heaven. I will never forget the love and passion that Mr. Peeples always extended to me and alex. Memories go way back to elementary school and I have always loved and cherished him. My heart aches for you all in the upcoming days, weeks, and months and you will remain close in my thoughts and remembered in my prayers. May God's peace rest on you.
   Stevie Gonzales

Walt was a pleasure to know and work with in the landscape industry.  We will miss him.

Dear Andrea, Paige & Mary,
Our family was so saddened to hear about Walt.  I will always remember Walt as a passionate man in all he did.  My fondest memory of Walt is when he helped fund, plan and serve at the dinner we held for the correctional school's boys basketball team at Rez.  I don't think I will ever forget the sincere servant he was that night!  We love you all and pray God's arms of love will remain wrapped around you so that you know his presence is forever with you.
Love,
Peggy Haag & Family

Walt will be remembered for his  service to the Colorado Landscape industry.

The Peeples Family (aka the Lewples),
Mr. Peeples was my other father. I have never met such a selfless man, He dedicated his life to his family, and blessing others. I always knew he would help me in any situation. From walking to your door with him in his batman costume to the napoleon dynamite dance at prom, or working out in your front yard making Mary and I do a million push ups and lunges. Something I will never forget is his smile when he would make a huge gourmet meal for all of us. It brakes my heart to realize that he is gone, but I know he is walking on streets of gold along side of Jesus. I am going to miss his laugh and his cheesy jokes,   those will stay with me forever. I love you all, and Mr. Peeples you were always my favorite:) I love you and always will. May God bring peace to you at this time.

Andrea & Family, 
I'm so sorry to hear of Walt's passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  
Sincerely, 
Jody Horner

Walt was someone who was so friendly to everyone he met.  He always made you feel part of his family, which was everything to him.  He worked diligently to be successful and provide for his family.  All the best to Andrea, Page and Mary.  May he inspire you all to live life fully and like Walt be friendly to all.

Dear Andrea, Mary & Walt,
I will never forget how Andrea, you and Walt were there for me during one of the hardest times in my life.  Walt's love and compassion was one of the life rafts for me in a sea of turmoil! His love for the kids while they grew up - all of his volunteering for cross country and early morning workouts was just Walt wasn't it?  One of my fondest memories of him was when we were passing out candy in Mexico to poor children.  The joy on his face was one of the highlights of the trip for me!  I know we will see him again, but he will be missed greatly here.  My family is so very sorry for your loss.  Love Pam Gonzales

Dear Andrea, Walt and Mary,
How can words express my thoughts at this time of loss for your family?  There are so many things going through my mind, but nothing that I can say seems appropriate. In November we lost a 40 year-old nephew, who was a world-class professional bicyle racer, to a heart attack.  He left behind a wife of one year who is expecting their first child.  How can these things make any sense? You, no doubt, are surrounded by friends and family who love all of you. Please know that, even though I am far away, I am with you in thought and am praying for God's comfort.  May your faith carry you in this time of sorrow.
God's love,
Tina Janelle

Like so many, I am truly shocked and saddened by Walt's death. I will be forever enriched to have had the pleasure of Walt in my life. He has left his family too soon, but I am sure he has left them with the loving and caring spirit which he exhibited in everything he did. His love for his wife and children will be an inspiration for me all of my days. May God please grant Walt and his family peace always.

We will all miss Walter and may God be with you in this time of sorrow.
PD

It is hard to find words in this time of shock and sadness.  Walt was one of the most caring and genuine men I have ever met.  He would never hesitate to go the extra mile in business or as a friend. Please know I will honor his memory by helping you any way I can. May God carry you and your family. In Him, Keith Hess

Andrea, Mary and Paige (The General,
I am writing this message with a heavy heart and great sadness at your loss of Walt, husband, father and my friend.  I will miss his kind spirit, friendly smile and the generosity, which he blessed so many people.  I am sure you will have many challenges over the next few months and I urge you to call me if I can help.  I pray our Lord will give you strength and courage to handle this difficult time.  
Love - Francis

Andrea, 
We are shocked and saddened to hear of Walt's heart attack and passing.  We are praying for you and your family. 
May God bless you,
Doug and Jeanette
