G. Joseph "Joe" Peck, age 78, went into the arms of the Lord on June 22, 2023. He was born July 24, 1944 in Paris, Texas to loving parents, the late George Junior Peck and Rose Carmela Peck. “Joe” as he would fondly answer to, was first and foremost a devout Christian where he faithful attended Jackson United Methodist Church in Jackson, GA and joyfully sang in the choir. Secondly, Joe was an American who was proud of this country he called home and all those who fought to protect it. As a proud Army veteran himself, he was always active in aiding his fellow soldiers both while in and out of the service; creating Vetlink I, a computer program used by the VA for services. Mr. Peck’s duty in the military was a radio relay soldier and his infinite knowledge in technology transcended into his civilian life where he became an entrepreneur in electronics. He held many degrees and certificates in the study of social work, veteran’s services and psychology giving him all the needed tools to assist his comrades. Even though Joe spent countless hours helping the veterans, he always found time to spend with his adoring family especially his great grandchildren. Joe is survived by his beloved wife, Evelyn Allen Peck of Jackson, GA; sons, Michael Peck of Land O’Lakes, FL, Mark Allen of Jackson, Georgia, Barry Allen of St. Augustine, FL, Jallen Allen of Jackson, GA, Justin Allen of Locust Grove, GA; daughters, Kimberly Albury of Tampa, FL, Kim Kilpatrick of Fayetteville, GA, Kaylynne Allen of Jackson, GA, Georgia Allen of Jackson, GA; brothers, Wes Peck of Georgia, David Peck of Indiana, Bruce Peck of Florida and 6 grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at 2:00pm on Monday, June 26, 2023 at Jackson United Methodist Church. The family will receive friends from 1:00 pm until service time. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Avie’s House - Veterans Assistance Services Center at 126 Pond Dr., Stockbridge, GA 30281 and/or Veterans Service Group at 32 Jonesboro St., McDonough, GA 30253.
