Chris attended Georgia Military College Prep School and graduated from Baldwin High School in the class of 1983. After graduation, he attended Gupton Jones School of Mortuary Science where he earned his degree. Chris worked briefly as a mortician but soon returned to the love of his life, playing the guitar.

He fell in love with the guitar when his parents gave him his first one at age 12. Some said he played like he was born with a guitar in his hands. Chris played wherever he lived, including, Georgia, Michigan, California, Minnesota, Alabama, and Tennessee where he departed this life. He also toured Europe in the 1990s playing his guitar, and once had a traveling band, Chris Peeler and The Truth.

Chris leaves to cherish his memory, a sister, Felicia Joy of Chicago, IL; two brothers, Cornelius Peeler of Mountain Rest, SC and Jon Cleveland Peeler (Sherita) of Milledgeville, GA; a loving uncle, Adolphus Thomas Allen (Ann) of Jacksonville, FL; two aunts, Dovie Lou Peeler Williams of St. Paul, MN and Emily Palmer-Garland of Lawrenceville, GA; a nephew, Ashton Peeler and a niece, Aubrey Peeler, both of Milledgeville.
