Alexander County commissioner killed in car collision while in Ohio

An Alexander County commissioner died in a car crash Monday, a news release from the county says.

Commissioner Jeffrey Peal suffered fatal injuries in a collision about 1:30 p.m. while traveling in Ohio. He was 57 years old, the release said.

"We are truly saddened and devastated to learn the tragic news of Jeff's passing," commission Chairman Larry Yoder said. "He was an excellent example of a public servant who used his knowledge and experience for the betterment of Alexander County and our citizens. He loved God, his family, his country and his county. We will never forget him."
County Manager Rick French expressed his appreciation for Peal and his concern for the family.

"Jeff made significant contributions during his service to Alexander County, and he will be sorely missed," French said. "Our sincere condolences are extended to his family who lost a great man, husband, father and grandfather. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this time of healing."

Peal, originally from Ohio, was elected to his first four-year term on the Alexander County board in 2016. He was reelected to a second term in 2020.

I still don't know how to say the words of how greatly I think about him.

RIP Coach Peal, from North High. You will be greatly missed.
