Robert Peach
Life Reflections
Little Rascals and the Our Gang Crew had absolutely nothing on the twenty hundred block of North Spruce, in Wichita Kansas, where Robert Morrison Peach grew up. Butch as he was affectionately referred to by family and some friends , Peach, by his homies, Rob and even Robert by many, lived his formative years on Spruce. He played cowboy and Indians, built snow forts in the backyard in the winter, cut the grass, ran up and down the streets, pulled pranks on all the neighbors. Learned to ride his English Racer bike, had neighborhood newspaper route and parked that Silver 57 Chevy proudly in front of 2021 North Spruce.
He’s the only son of Robert and Bernice Peach (deceased). A protective big brother to Adrienne, Trilby (deceased) and Felicia. His marriage to Doris Burrows brought forth his son Robert Peach Jr. and his union with Margaret Washington gave him his daughter Constance Marie, and stepson Chad Washington . Butch loved his children unconditionally.
Robert attended Isely Elementary , Mattheson Jr. High where he lettered in Basketball. He attended East High for one year and transferred to Wichita Heights, because he wanted to run Cross-country track with out being over shadowed by track star Jim Ryan. He was all about the smile and his crazy ways, and jeans starched and ironed immaculately.
Shortly after graduating high school he enlisted with a push from his daddy into the United States Air Force, thus becoming a Viet Nam veteran, serving four years for our country.
Robert was a gifted artist and for one brief moment thought he should be an architect, so he enrolled for summer classes at WSU, but that was cut short after his change of mind and the military. He enjoyed sketching still forms, people, funny looking characters and modern art.
His preteen and teen years were filled with baseball little leagues, boy scouts, and putting together model cars for enjoyment and competition. That passion for cars lead to his rebuilding and working on trucks and cars and his motorcycles.
Robert made several moves to different cities following family, each move directed toward improving his overall well being. He moved to Las Vegas, and ended up in St. Louis Missouri where he lived for 20 some years working and enjoying his family and new friends.
Robert was baptized in the name of our Lord and his Savior at the age of 7 at Tabernacle Baptist church. He continued to “keep the faith” and his belief was “The Lord God Almighty Will Keep Me and That’s All I Need”. To everything there is a season and our Beloved has had his.
Leaving to laugh, cry and cherish their memories of him; his Dad, Robert R. Peach, Las Vegas, Nv., Daughter Constance, Son Robert , Stepson Chad Washington, Sister’s Adrienne (Vernon) Gaines, Felicia, Peach.

My dear brother words will never be able to express the bond we shared. For as long as I can remember it was always “Butch and Adie”. We grew up together and shared much more than anyone will ever know. My words to you when I would leave you at the hospital and the nursing home were “Bye Brother, Love you, ” and yours to me were “I love you too”. Love Never Dies.
To my oldest and only brother…Robert Peach…to me simply Butch…I see now that it is real… I will no longer be able to see you and pick up the phone and say hello…So for now I will just say sleep well my brother…you are no longer in pain… you are resting well… I loved you as a friend and my brother…You will greatly be missed…Your little sister Felicia…
Gone to soon.. I wasn’t able to tell you how much I love you or good bye.. I’m gonna miss you calling me or me calling you, staying on the phone for hours ( we laughing at each other )… Telling each other how much we love one another.. I’m going to miss you soooooo much daddy.. I’m gonna always be your Big Baby, you had always called me that since I was little girl.. Daddy now that you in a better place, no pain. Love you more than anything in this world.. I’m going to miss you daddy.. Love you with all my heart, words can’t explain how much I love you daddy

My favorite and only uncle who every time I play the album “Ice Cream Castles” by The Time I always remember us in that Bronco acting like we were Morris Day and laughing at the words! You always were funny and it was just hilarious listening to you and Trilby go at it. Selfishly, I looked forward to it because I knew it would be epic. There were a lot of good memories that I have and always kept them with me and that is how I will always remember you. Rest In Peace uncle
Butch, so handsome. It was a pleasure to have known you. To my BFF, Addie and Felicia. You did such a wonderful job taking care of your brother. He was always a pleasure to be around. My condolences to the entire family. Hold on to the memories.
Love you all
So sorry for your family loss. Sending my sincere condolences to the entire family
Missing you so much daddy. Miss hearing your voice
The bible says we ought to rejoice when we pass out of this life and weep when one is born. Because for those who belong to our Lord, to be absent from the body is to present with the Lord. I know you are out of this weary flesh and in a place where you will suffer nomore. I know this isn’t the end, just a pause.
While we hadn’t spoken or seen each other for years, you will always be a part of my memories growing up. Me and pooky were aces and because of that I got to see you as she did. I know how much yall loved each other and your memory will never be lost.
My condolences to all the family and especially to you Constance. ?
You all will be in my prayers.
God bless and keep you and may you be comforted by His grace and in His love.
My dear Soror Adrienne,
My deepest condolences to you on the loss of your precious brother. May you find strength and joy in knowing that he will always be with you—right there in your heart!????????. God bless and keep you and your loved ones.?????? Praying for you.??????
The bible says we ought to cry at birth and rejoice at death. Because for those who belong to our God, ” to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord”.
I believe His Word….
Pooky is someone very special to me. Not only my cousin, but a dear friend. Growing up together I got to see Peach thru her eyes. One of the closest and sweetest father/daughter relationships I’ve ever seen in real life.
Peach memory will not be lost. For I know it will live forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
My condolences to every family member and friend, especially my cousin, Pooky. You all are in my prayers and thoughts. May you be comforted by the Divine Comfort of the Holy Spirit and surrounded in Gods Peace.
Love and Blessings
