Mr. Peacock had 30-year career in management at Robins Air Force Base. He also displayed an entrepreneurial spirit and enjoyed success in several business pursuits.
He was never happier than when he had a fishing pole in his hand especially when sharing the moment with his family and friends. The times he loved most were spent with his 3 beloved grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. He always had a joke to tell or a funny story to share.
He was a lifelong resident of Eastman, Georgia where he served as a deacon at Bethlehem Baptist Church. He loved his church family and his community. He will be sorely missed by all.
