Daniel Peek Obituary
Peek had been in intensive care since the accident.
Shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday, Peek was driving a 1998 Jeep Cherokee southbound on Highpoint Road when he failed to negotiate a curve near Vail Court. The Jeep ran off the road, hit a mailbox and overturned, ejecting Peek, Police Cpl. Darren Moloney said.
Peek was alone in the vehicle and not wearing his seat belt, police said.
Alcohol and speed appear to have contributed to the wreck, police said. A responding officer smelled alcohol on Peek, according to the police report. Police await a toxicology test.
Peek, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound junior, was Brookwood's starting quarterback last season but missed the first two games as one of seven players suspended for breaking an undisclosed team rule.
Brookwood lost those games to state-ranked teams, then went on a nine-game winning streak that included wins over Valdosta and Parkview. Roswell ended Brookwood's season 10-9 in the second round of the Class AAAAA state playoffs.
Peek had transferred from Grayson after eight games of his sophomore season. At Grayson, he was a part-time starter as a freshman and won the job outright the next year, throwing for 725 yards and 12 touchdowns before transferring.
When Peek was in the hospital, junior cornerback Eric Griffin called Peek "a brother to me." Junior tight end Jarrett Mackey described Peek as the best kind of teammate, the kind who could always be counted on.

Daniel My dear,
It is Thanksgiving today and your Mom made a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner here at Papa's house for us! She even cooked a turkey!!!!!! I think It was good for her and it kept her and Savanna occupied. At least for a while so she would'nt be so down.
Sitting at the dinner table while eating our food I know we were all thinking about the one thing that was missing!! But no one could speak of it because it would be to painful!!!! But I know you were there! When Michael got up he gave everyone at the table a hug just like you would do!!!
I miss you my Humming Bird, Please come visit me again!
Love you,
Your aunt Terressa

Daniel,
Words can't even describe how much I miss you right now. Everytime one of our songs comes on the radio I know it's you just saying "Hi". "Good Directions", "Wrapped", and "Teardrops On My Guitar" still bring tears to my eyes. The last week of school was so hard sitting in Broadcasting without you between me and Meredith and Madison. You weren't there to sing country with us or "Google" crazy things like aliens or the Bermuda triangle. Haha, we were always doing the most random things. There are so many days that I can't help but think about when I first met you in Panama City. You stuck your cute head out of the window of Chase's car as y'all flew by and y'all ended up following us the rest of the way! After our dinners and days at the beach we became friends and it was on to my lake house and "fishing" at the hidden dock. That was one of the best nights. And how could I forget SIPA this year? Riding with Freddy and you tackling me onto the floor! It breaks my heart that I didn't get to say goodbye. Silly you text me at 9pm on May 5th saying you were on your way to my house for my graduation party.. Haha, and I had to inform you that you missed it by two hours! You were always running late for things, but just this once I wish you had been on time. I love you so much Daniel and I know you're watching over each and every one of us.
You'll always have a huge place in my heart.

daniel. wow. where to begin. over the twelve years that i was blessed to know you, i cant ever think of a time where you were harsh towards anyone. i remember you teased me about my shoes. and how much you liked that white skirt i used to wear. i wore it to make you smile. mr kirk kept your seat empty for the rest of the year. i cried everytime i looked at it. brookwood just isnt the same without you there. i will never forget you. your smile. your laugh and how incredibly smart you were. i look forward to seeing you again one day. im sorry i didnt tell you what was on my mind that friday. i was just too nervous.watch over us. you will always be in my heart

Daniel ,
Wow this is a terrible tragedy that has happened to us all. I remember when i first moved to the gwinnett County area and you were the first to greet me in my enterance to the storm baseball team. You and i have had a lot of experiences together good and bad . But my deepest condolences go out to your family and you know that you are missed by all and i pray that you are looking down and approving of the tasks that i have taken apon with dedicating the rest of my career to you and you love ones . Miss you Man

Even though I never met you - never even knew your name before the accident, I think of you often. You exuded a quiet and simple humbleness, a quality that every athlete should strive for...My son is a 9th grade quarterback at South Forsyth High and my wish is to see him grow these next four years with the same athletic style and grace that you exemplified while you were here. RIP Daniel Peek

Daniel, this is you cousin from your step-moms side of the family, I never really got to know you but damn it would have been fun to have chilled with you man. Me and my aunt took your little sister Muriel shopping last weekend she is an extremely well-behaved girl. I know you loved her and I will look out for her for you as best I can.

Hey Daniel,
The season is almost here Dan. We are one day away from the Dome Game with Roswell. Your brothers have been working hard, and have put their hearts into it. I have taken so many photos this year, and praying you'd be in them. This whole season is for you, and we hope that you can guide us through it. Not a day goes by that we are not all thinking of you! You are our angel, with that beautfil gap toothed smile of yours, haha. Watch over us Daniel, we are going to make you and your family proud this year. God Bless and Peace to the Peek Family.

Not one day goes by that i don't think about you and the great attitude you took with you everyday of your life. I just wish our brief time together could of lasted for a little bit longer. I remember the first time i met you. I challenged you to throw the football to me and you did. It was a successful catch, but i know for atleast the next thrity seconds after the catch i couldn't breathe also. You became one of my best friends over the brief year that we knew eachother. I could keep on telling stories, but honestly there are just too many. every time i hear a pink floyd song it reminds me of you and the fun we had that one night(I still got my glasses). I couldn't imagine how many lifes you positvely affected over your 17+ great years you lived. God knows you affected mine. Sometimes i just imagine you bouncing around from cloud to cloud throwing the football. I question god why he had to take my friend "the rookie" so early in his life and the only conclusion i can think of is that you were needed up there. What i'm trying to say is that heaven has a hell of a guy up there and i only ask for you, daniel, to look out for all of my loved ones. I can't help but blame myself for your death. It's just my nature. I saw you outside right when I got their and i could tell you weren't in a joking mood. So i stubbornly left you outside only because you told me to. I just wish i could have a second chance to make things right. The part that really gets to me is that i didn't even get a chance to say goodbye. All and all, words can't describe how much i miss ya man. You were definitely a great guy, and i will always remember you and and the life you lived. No tears right now though, For i am sure that one day i will see you again and i'll toss the football with ya. I miss ya man. My prayers go out to peek's family and all of peek's friends from brookwood and grayson and anywhere else. I'll always remember ya

Daniel,
Man. I think about you pretty much everyday. No matter what I am doing you pass through my mind. Even on my birthday I did. I am so thankful to have grown up with you & Micheal & Anthony. & Angela was practically a second mom to me. My parents & I love you & miss you. The other day me & my dad were talking about how we all used to goof around in the basement & in the jeep. & how everyday after school yall would come over & we would either play monopoly or watch austin powers. :] All I can do is remember all the good times we have shared because there was never a bad one. There are so many memories I could share but that would take tons & tons of typing. :] I love you & you are so lucky to be up in heaven now. I can't wait till I get there & I get to see you & my family. We all miss you buddy. Love you.

Daniel..
I'm sit'n here just think'n about a lot of things... and you happened to pop into my mind, which happens quit often. I still cant get over the fact that your gone yet. You were a huge part of the Brookwood communtiy. Its just such a big impact on us. I wish I could have said a final goodbye to you before i moved during Christmas break, but little did I know this was all going to occur.. no one did. Just look'n at your football pictures tears me up inside, esp. knowing how far you were going with it.
But look'n back on all of our crazy times together makes me smile, and im glad to know your in a better place now man.. i miss you <3

Dear Daniel,
God I wish you were still here! I know he must have taken you for a good reason but our family losing you is the most painful thing we have ever experienced. We will never be the same.
You touched so many people in your short life and even more in your death. It is now very clear to me why your middle name was Victor because that's truly what you were and still are "a VICTOR". You've always lead your numerous ball teams, Football, Baseball, and Basketball over many many years to "VICTORY". And now because of you so many others will "LIVE" and go on to be "VICTORS" Too!!!!
We continue to be so proud and in awe of you in death as we were during your life!
Death is not an end but a continuation. Your Great Rays of Light & Energy still emanate with us here on this earth. But we will forever miss your Beautiful smile, whit, kindness, personality and big heart.
I miss you terribly Daniel and Anthony misses his Brother and Best Friend.
My love to you always and forever until we shal meet again in Heaven.
Sincerely,
Your Aunt Terressa

"A BETTER PLACE" There's a place I've never seen beyond this world we know. A place I've only heard of but someday hope to go--It's not on any map there are no roads to take me there. But its a place of perfect peace where hearts are free from care. And though I understand some may be saddened when I leave. One day we will all meet again- thats what I believe... When its time to travel there, I think I'll wear a smile. I'll say good-bye to those I love, but only for awhile. Knowing there are others who have traveled there alone who cannot wait to greet me and to whisper "welcome home Daniel"

Dan, Angela, & Family-
We haven’t crossed paths in awhile (probably since little league football) but we wanted to express our deepest sympathy for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and have been since the first news of the accident. Daniel was a very special young man. He had a zest for life and he was fun to watch on the football field. He always greeted everyone with a smile - he was a terrific kid. Lindsey had been friends with Daniel since about 4th grade. Mark had also gotten to know Daniel since he started high school. Everybody loved him.
He will be dearly missed by both kids and adults throughout the Brookwood community.

It has been a very long time since I have seen you or said hello. I spoke with Stephi the other day and she told me of your loss. Angela, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Daniel when he was just a little boy. From what I have heard and read you raised a great kid! You should be very proud of the person Daniel became. You are constantly in my prayers. Just know that your beautiful son is watching over you and your family and his arms are always around you.
With love,

I too have lost a son in a car wreck recently. My son, Anthony had just turned 19 when he lost his life. Each time that I hear of a young person in a car accident I re-live the pain over again. No one can understand unless it's happen to them. I have received a lot of help by going to grief support at Hebron Baptist Church in Dacula every Monday night at 7:00 in room A307. I know you don't know me, but I feel like I need to share this with you. This helps me to heal.

I taught Daniel in 2nd grade at Brookwood Elementary. He was such a smart, thoughtful, and kind young man even at age seven. He was a great athlete and well liked by all students. I kept up with his career at Grayson and at Brookwood. He will be missed by all. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family, friends, and fellow teammates.

To your parents, my sincerest regrets on your loss. I too lost my son Doug allmost 5 years ago and he was a football player Dunwoody. I can only say that faith and memories provide our family comfort knowing that he is still much a part of our lives. God will get you through these troubling times. God Bless your family.

Daniel, You have had a huge impact on so many lives over the course of your life. We are saddened that your time here has ended, but from what I see and hear, your life will live on through all of friends and family that new that great big heart and valued that great big smile. I am so thankful for being able to attend your "Home Going", it was such a blessing. Everyone spoke so highly of you, Matt Williams made us laugh, he knew that was what you would have wanted. My only regret is that I never got to hear you sing, but your smile makes up for that. God and I love you, and every time I prayed for Georgia and Nick, I prayed for you and Joseph. I would love to be where I am needed. God Bless and Rejoin in love the Peek family. Ms. Dianne.

Father we entrust our brother Daniel to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Daniel in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathy.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for your family for God to carry you through this sad time in your lives, and for His amazing Grace and peace to surround you as He did for me. The loss of a child is something no parent should have to go through. I read that you donated Daniel's organs which is so awesome . He will live on through others on this earth until you get to be reunited in heaven. I lost my 18 year old son Brian to the same kind of accident. He also suffered brain damage that was not repairable. The only comfort I had was when I donated his organs. I found out later that his heart went to a preacher!"Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 1:2

Daniel,
It was such an honor to see you as a three year old child throwing the football. We knew then you were destined to be a football player. It has been such a pleasure watching you grow into such a fine young man. I have always been very proud of you. You have definitely left footprints in alot of hearts. To know you are in HEAVEN looking down on us is AWESOME....I know you will especially be taking care of your MOM,DAD, MICHAEL, SAVANNA and PAPPA BILLY. I will take care of them anyway I can. We love you and miss you.

My heart is broken for you. I consider myself a "saved man" but I find myself in doubt sometime when parents are made to outlive their children,especially such an obviously, outstanding young person. I pray that God will give you peace somehow, someway and your family will be in my prayers as well.

No one is guaranteed a 70 year life on this earth. Tragedy can strike any one of us at any moment. We all need to learn to cherish every second we are granted on this earth. May the memories of your son carry you through the grief and may you find peace in the midst of sorrow. I will be praying for your comfort.

I did not know this fine young man, but live very close to the accident scene. I am in awe of all the lives he has touched in his young life and like others, question 'why.' I know it is not for us to question, but to accept God's calling. This does not lessen the pain.
My heart goes out to each and everyone that knew Daniel personally, but especially to the parents that had the joy of loving and hugging him for 17 wonderful years.
My wife and I are the parents of 2 children that attended Brookwood HS and my wife is a GCPS employee. We're not only members of the Gwinnett family, but of the Brookwood family as well. When it's one of our own, it hits home.
Please know there are so many praying for you and your family and our hearts go out to you in this most difficult time. I hope you can take solace in knowing your son was loved and admired by so many.
In closing, I can only pray that the kids who were personally touched by this tragedy and all those that may hear of it or read of it, will please learn from this tragic error in judgement and how precious life is.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time and in the months and years to come. I didn't know Daniel, but from everything I've read he was a wonderful young man who touched many lives and is now awaiting the arrival of his loved ones in heaven. As a mother of 3 young children, I can't imagine the pain you are enduring and I can only ask God to give you comfort like only He can. My husband lost a brother exactly the same way at exactly the same age 17 years ago this September. It's not an easy thing to live with, but take comfort knowing that Daniel is in a better place than we are, now. May God bless you all.

I am so sorry for your great loss. I do not know any of you but I too have suffered loss and know the pain it brings. Daniel obviously had many friends and a lot of influence. I hope that his last message will be "Don't drink and drive. Always were your seat belt." He made some unfortunate choices that night but God will use this for good in this world. Many other families will be spared this pain or the pain of a loved one accidentally killing an innocent person in an accident like this. I am SO THRILLED that you generously donated his organs. He truly gave new life to others and his legacy will also live through this action. Those people's lives have also been changed. I pray that God will comfort you and that the good memories will in time be what you most remember. His life was meaningful and precious.It sounds as though he lived life to the fullest and will be waiting for you on the other side. We should all live each day as if it were our last and be ready to go home if called. Blessings and Peace to all of you.

To the family of Daniel Peek,
Daniel left quite a legacy. He touched more people in 17 years than most people do in a lifetime. We will never understand why some people live to be 100, and some people have the tragedy of burying a child, that definitely isn't the way we would choose for it to be. But yesterday we got to see how loved he was. How many people admired and respected him. It was an honor to know him. We will carry him and memories of him with us forever. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to for you.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. He evidently was a much-loved young man. This tragedy has touched the hearts of countless people, not only those who were acquainted with Daniel, but also scores of others who never had the chance to know him. May your hearts be comforted in knowing that he is with God, the one who created him.

To the Peek Family:
My heart goes out to you. I am a parent who has coached these kids through PEE-WEE leagues either in football or baseball over the last 10 years. I had the privilege to either coach him, against him or for him. Most of these kids came out of South GW then went on to future athletics in various communities. Those were our passions, and those kids transferred them into theirs. He certainly did that. They ARE all still our hearts. May God bless you in these difficult times.
