Sonny J. Pepper, 13 months of Eau Claire died on Friday, September 16, 2016 at Sacred Heart Hospital.
Sonny was born on July 30, 2015 to Jacob and Amy Pepper in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Sonny was our perfect little baby boy, who smiled and showed his love for life and family doing the simple, silly things that boys do; sticking his fingers where they didn’t belong, making a mess of his favorite spaghetti dinners, and trying to get as much water out of the bathtub as possible. He enjoyed making towers with his blocks, which were the best gift he ever received from his loving Aunt Becky and Uncle Josh, only to destroy them and start over. Although his time with us was short, the world was a brighter place each and every day he was in it. We want him to be remembered for the happy, energetic, and delightful child that lifted the spirits of those around him; which was in his spider man pajamas most of the time. He will be missed by his twin sister, Summer, in trading nooks, throwing balls at each other, and sharing the experience of growing together and having a friend to figure out life’s adventures. Our boy was perfect, and this is the way we shall remember him forever.
Sonny is survived by his parents, Jacob and Amy Pepper of Eau Claire; twin sister, Summer Rae of Eau Claire; and loving friends and family members.
Sonny was preceded in death by his cousin, Izzo David.
Funeral services will be Saturday, September 24, 2016 at 10:30 am at Immaculate Conception with Father Donald Meuret officiating. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the services at the church on Saturday. Private family burial will be held at a later date. Friends and family may leave online condolences at www.smithfuneralec.com.

It was with such shock and sadness that Jerry and I received the news of the loss of you beautiful son Sonny. You have to cling onto the memories and know that Sonny was cherished and nurtured for all his short life by the loving family you are. I hope these black clouds will roll away for you soon and you can remember Sonny’s short life as the special gift it truly was. One step at a time.

Our sympathy to the family of Sonny. This little boy, whom we never met, has touched our hearts with his beautiful smile and the love he brought into this world. Our hearts now break with yours. May God send you peace, as He holds Sonny in His loving arms.
Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong, they are weak but He is strong. I cannot conceive of what you all are going through. God knows your pain, His Son died too. And like His Son, your little boy has seen the face of his Creator. I am sorry. In the love of Christ.
