Nathan Peck Obituary

Nathan Louis Peck, age 10, was taken from us in a hiking accident in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York on Friday, July 28th. He was a much beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend - a friend to everyone he met. Nathan was a Moore native and would have entered the 5th grade at Bryant Elementary School this fall. He was an avid learner with an amazing vocabulary, imagination, and memory. He was enthusiastic about all his activities, topping the list were Star Wars, dinosaurs, and soccer, and he was excited about sharing those passions with you at any and all times. Nathan will be greatly missed and is survived by his mother, Christine Peck, father, John Peck, brothers, James 18, Davis 16, and Alexander 13, grandparents, Robert and Eleanor Peck of Ocala, Florida, grandmother Carolyn Miller, uncle Steve Peck of Atlanta, Georgia, aunt Anne Peck of Burlington Vermont, aunt Cheryl Grace, uncles Gary Shaw and Michael Shaw, and numerous great aunts, great uncles, cousins, and loving friends. Countless friends, classmates, teachers, neighbors, soccer families and those fortunate enough to have crossed paths with him will also miss Nathan. He was a true 'people-person' with a loving disposition and in his short time with us he taught us all to love more openly. Visitation will be at Primrose Funeral Home on Tuesday, August 1st, from 4 pm - 8 pm. The funeral service will be held on Thursday, August 3rd, at 10 a.m. at Eagle Heights Church in South Oklahoma City followed by burial at Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery at 11:45 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Nathan's name to the South Lakes Soccer Club, P.O. Box 890112, Oklahoma City, OK, 73189, a field improvement/memorial will be created in honor of Nathan's too brief time with us all. Or donations may be made to the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History in honor of Nathan's love of dinosaurs, where it will fund educational programs for children. Send to Nathan Peck Memorial Donations, Attn: Development Office, 2401 Chautauqua Avenue, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK 73072-7029.

Dear Peck Family,



I just wanted you to know that I send you my deepest and dearest sympathies. I know this is not much comfort for the pain you feel. My son went to school with Nathan, they played together and had a lot of the same interests. I just can't imagine what you are going through. I do want you to know that you are in my prayers for the strength to get through this trying time.

It was with a very heavy heart that we learned of Nathan's passing today through Ken Wolkin. My Son Kyle had played with Nathan while at the reunion on Sunday and had thoroughly enjoyed his friendship and company. My Family's heartfelt wishes and prayers are with you and your Family.



Sincerely, Bob and Valerie Adams

I work with Nathan's Uncle Steve in Atlanta and can't tell you how many times we have shared nephew stories. I too have four nephews with the youngest also named Nathan so truly feel like I know the Peck boys as I know Steve feels like he knows my Morley boys.



My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and hope the memories of your Nathan will always put a big old smile on your face and in your hearts. Through Uncle Steve's stories, I know Nathan was quite a boy and brought such happiness and joy whenever he was around or wherever he went.



May God bless all of you and please know the entire Peterson and Morley families are thinking and praying for all of you.

Dear Peck Family,

I too have not had the pleasure of meeting you all, but my former sister-in-law lives next door. I remember meeting Nathan while outside playing with her son Alex. I just want to express to you that this story has touched my heart and our family has prayed for your family and will continue to do so. In fact my five year old son Ethan has played with Nathan before and he asked that I help him pray about Nathan the first night he heard. There is no way to take away the pain you feel, but I pray God bring you peace. God Bless you and your family.

Christine,



I have not personally had the opportunity to meet you. But I do know from the many phone conversations we have had, that your children are the center of your universe, as are mine. I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this challenging time in your life. It brings tears to my eyes as I write this to you just remembering how excited you were talking about your son playing for Southlakes when we were going through our coaching dilemma last season. I pray that God gets you and your family through this.



Blessings to you all.

Dear Christine,



I am so, so sorry to hear of Nathan's passing. It seems like it was just yesterday that he was coloring in a book and chomping on homemade pancakes, at your side, in an LLL meeting.



Please know that you and the boys are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish that were enough to help ease the pain.

Dear Christine (and to the entire Peck Family),

My heart aches with you. Words can't express how sorry I am for your loss. Christine, you were such an inspiration to me as a mother, and in La Leche League for so many years. I pray God will comfort and bless your family.

Debora Adams

August 1, 2006

I would like to express my condolences to the Peck family for the loss of their son and brother. I can still remember the day that I was outside in my yard, and John said, "Nathan gets to go home from the hospital today." When I went over to see him Christie showed me little, tiny Nathan. He was so tiny being a preemie.



From across the street from my own yard I have watched the four Peck brothers grow from little tiny tots who played in their front yard while Christie, always dilegent in her care sat in a chair on their drive way while they played.



A few weeks ago I was on vacation and spent the time at home doing little things around the house. I had the opportunity to see the two younger boys and their friends outside skate boarding. Their happy laughter made me smile. I will always remember that day.



It is with a very sad and heavy heart that I write this. I hope the Peck family knows how much their neighbors care about them and how deeply we hurt for them.



Sincerely,



Debora
