Larry Peek Obituary
Larry Wade Peek, 76, passed away on Jan. 12, 2022.
Larry was born in Booneville, Mississippi, to Edward B. and Martha M. Peek (nee Lawrence), who preceded him in death.
Larry graduated from Isaac C. Elston High School in 1963. He joined the Naval Reserve and served two years overseas during the Viet Nam War.
On May 14, 1994, he married Cheryl Cunningham, who survives him.
Also surviving are his children, Jennifer (Michael) Harper, Caleb Peek, Melinda Fortner, Nathan Peek and Kristina (Matthew) Lamb; grandchildren, Jordan and Tristan Fortner, and Chandler and Emma Harper; and siblings, Kenneth (Sandra) Peek, Diane (Lewis) Bell and Rosemary (Frank) Rivas. His brothers, Randall and Terry Peek, preceded him in death.
Larry had a deep love for the Lord and unmeasurable faith in God. He enjoyed being outdoors in his creator's nature. A skilled landscaper and carpenter, he liked working with his hands. He was very generous with everything he had, giving freely of his skills, money, and most of all, his time, to all those in need.
He will be missed by all who knew him and remembered as a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend. While we are saddened by his passing, we are joyful in knowing he is now in the presence of his Lord, reunited with those who went before him.
Visitation will be held Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2022, at Dugan Funeral Chapel, 751 N. Lincoln Ave, Fremont, Nebraska, from 4 to 7 p.m. (CT). Funeral service will be Wednesday, Jan. 19, at 1 p.m. at Dugan Funeral Chapel. Burial will take place at Memorial Cemetery with military honors.
Memorials may be directed to the family for later designation.
