Okeeheelee BMX Loses a Longtime Friend

Paul Peeples, grandfather (Pop),
of Aaron Butler, passed away Monday, April 28th.
Paul spent many years in our BMX community traveling all over the state
of Florida and to many
Nationals and Regionals throughout the United States.
He will be greatly missed at his home track of Okeeheelee BMX where he
was always the first one to make a new BMX family feel welcomed.
Paul was a familiar face with all the campers at every race and was the
first to help anyone in need, like an extension cord or gas for a
generater and everything in between.
You could always count on Paul to give you directions to the next
Qualifier, although it was never the route you'd expect. Paul
always used the roads less traveled.
Even though Aaron hasn't raced in a few years, Paul still came out to
the track to see his friends.
For those of us who knew him, we know what a great loss this is to our
BMX family. For those of you who didn't know him, it is still a
great loss. Paul was a great man and a friend to everyone.
Our thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to his family, especially
his wife Alice and grandson Aaron.
We will miss you Paul!
