Ethan Richard Peper

Ethan Richard Peper, 22, passed away from a tragic accident on July 5, 2025.

Ethan Peper was born on August 31, 2002 to Todd Richard Peper and Mollie Jo Peper in Reedsburg WI.

Ethan graduated from Reedsburg Area High School where he played basketball. He then pursued a career as an electrician where he worked for United Electric. He went to Madison Area College to become a journeyman. 

Ethan spent most of his time outdoors doing what he loved whether it would be bow fishing in the late hours with his friends, or hunting early in the morning with his dad (Todd Peper). Ethan loved to spend time with his closest friends every moment he could, always with Devin Judd and having a smile on his face. Ethan spent every waking moment with his family, always seen with his younger sister Emma (Peper). He had the biggest heart and welcomed everyone. He was always seen with a big toothy grin. 

Ethan is survived by his parents, Mollie Jo Peper and Todd Peper (Lynnette Meister); sister; Emma Jo Peper; best friend, Devin Judd, Godparents; Jim Phillipii (Emmie Phillipii); grandparents; Janet Peper and Richard Peper, Ben Biser, and Trudy Judd; aunts and uncles; Debbie Meister (Mark Meister), Chris Drea (Tim Drea), Josh Biser (Mary Sternitzky); along with cousins Mardi Biser (Lance Thuma), Benjamin Drea (Mindy Drea), Keagan Drea, Shannon Drea, Cody Meister (Rhiannon Meister), Tyler Meister (Hannah Sobojinski); and many extended family and friends.
