Stephen Peacock Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Heritage Memorial Funeral Home & Crematory on Jan. 6, 2026.
Stephen Peacock, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on January 3, 2026, in Macon, Georgia, at the age of 71. He was born on December 25, 1954, in Mesa, Arizona, to the late William E. Peacock and Laura Alice Biggs Peacock.

He shared a loving and devoted marriage with Charlotte Gardner Peacock for 46 wonderful years, building a life filled with love and support. Stephen leaves behind his cherished children, Sarah Collins (Eric) of Centerville, Georgia, and John Peacock (Asja Bonitz) of Berlin, Germany, along with his adored granddaughter, Lumi Peacock. He is also remembered by his honorary daughters, Jami Hoselton and Hillarie Dixon, favorite cousin, Susan Peacock and dear friends, Ken Blair, and Paul and TJ Childree.

Stephen was a dedicated member of the community with a passion for creative arts. He graduated from Northside High School in 1974 and went on to earn a certificate in Graphic Arts from Houston County Vocational/Technical College in 1976. He worked tirelessly as a Master Printer from 1977 to 2016, contributing his talents to Charles Williams, Timberlake Grocery Company, and Panaprint. Upon retiring, Stephen relished his time as a husband, father, and grandfather, embracing every moment with his family.

His interests were diverse and reflected his vibrant personality. An ardent lover of art and graphic design, he also enjoyed music, attending concerts, and engaging with his towering collection of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy movies and books. His love for animals and technology was evident, and he found joy in playing video games and exploring the latest advancements in computers. His quick and sharp wit made him quite the jokester.

Stephen was actively involved in his children's lives, participating in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Awanas for many years. Additionally, he took pride in participating in Revolutionary War reenactments, demonstrating his enthusiasm for history and education. Stephen's life was characterized by love, creativity, and commitment to his family and community. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

A memorial service will be held at a later date, with inurnment at Magnolia Park Cemetery Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Stephen's name to the Houston County Humane Society, honoring his deep love for animals.

The family extends their heartfelt thanks for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time.

Please sign the online registry and leave a personal condolence for the family.

Heritage Memorial Funeral Home and Crematory has the honor of being entrusted with the arrangements.

Steve "Big Bird" Peacock...met him and Charlotte at Northside Elementary School to a Crossover Ceremony for John, going from Cub-scouts to Boy Scouts. Steve was a quiet soul, observing what was going on, without saying much. I asked him why he was called Big Bird and he stood up! He indeed was tall! Then he said Peacock...big bird? And I busted out laughing, finally making the connection!
I was asked if I would consider starting a Scout Troop again and indeed started a new troop. Our affiliation grew with a New troop. He would come to our Campouts with a mess of Deer Sausage, which I dearly miss! He confided in me that the summer heat suffered him and I told him that he didn´t have to come, but could visit when the sun went down. And other adults could pitch in. He would invite me to go to his hunting club, which I did. We went where there were wild hogs making a mess of the land...and he would stop and say "watch out Mr. R, they are running!" I heard nothing, then laughed and said, I guess you hear pretty good from way up there! I invited Steve to church and he and the family came. Small church, great fellowship. We even did a skit called "The Great Fandini" and folks sure did laugh! I recall Steve accepting Christ as his savior in our small church.
Steve was supportive of his family and associations. I miss his soft spoken ways, but rejoice that he had received Christ. RIP my friend. Prayers for Charlotte, Sarah and John as well as the rest of your family and friends.

Charlotte, You were the best wife to Steve he ever could have hoped for. You were caring, loving, attentive, kind, thoughtful, compassionate, and encouraging. We will miss Steve greatly, but there will be no regrets. I have never seen anyone who was a more wonderful caregiver. I love you my precious friend. Praying for all your family. Sincerely, Doris Howdeshell
