June 21, 1943 – July 6, 2022
John Peckham, beloved husband of Judith Peckham, was welcomed into heaven on Wednesday, July 6. They were married for 57 years.
John was predeceased by parents Thomas Peckham and Lillian Peckham, and sister Grace Peckham. He is survived by wife Judi, beloved son David
Peckham and daughter Mary (Lee) Smith, dearest brothers, Thomas (Janet) Peckham, Mark Peckham, James Peckham and dear uncle of eight.
John was an architect and worked for several firms and last was the architect for the interior design firm Directions in Design for many years. He also became a farmer the last 26 years at his and wife’s horse farm in Labadie, MO. He loved to fish on his lake and enjoyed horseback riding with Judi and our many riding friends and groups all over Missouri, including a wagon train ride in upper Michigan. Was a member of the “Wild Bunch” riders at Kraus Farms. (No one wanted to ride with us because we rode fast and furious). John was a good rider.
John was an alum of Washington University School of Architecture and CBC High School Class of 1961.

Judi, David and Mary, I am so sorry about John. He was such a kind and loving man. Sending love to all of you.
John was a wonderful and talented architect and not only could produce any land side project but was my right hand on countless ferry, dinner cruise, and sightseeing vessels all over the United States. Such a true gentleman and collaborator. Judi, he will be missed and I am very sorry for your loss.
