"Dennis Peek, 59, of Camino, Calif., passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his wife and children. His passing concluded a two-year battle with cancer of the liver.
Dennis was born in Goshen, Ind., the second of three children, to William and Lorraine Peek. Shortly thereafter, the family moved to Saginaw, Mich., where they lived until Dennis was a teenager. He was considered a good child and was given work that he was capable of doing that was a part of various family businesses, from an early age. He graduated from Bridgeport High School and then joined the U.S. Navy, where work and education in the growing field of electronics set a course for his life work with Lockheed, working in Burbank, Calif., Canada, Marietta, Ga., and Fort Worth, Texas, for 30 years.
At the outset of his Naval duty, Dennis married and had two children, Kristina and Dennis Jr., both born in San Diego, Calif. In 1990, he married Tamara Klatt, daughter of Craig and Judy Klatt, to whom he would have been married 25 years this June. To this marriage, there were added three additional children, Victoria, Brandon and Joshua.
Following his career with Lockheed Martin, the Peek family moved to Camino in 2010, where Dennis gained employment with Marshall Hospital in Central Services, a job that he really enjoyed because of the important work that Marshall does and the opportunity it gave him to connect with many new people in that service system. Being helpful was a natural part of who he was.
During his battle with cancer, Dennis was extremely grateful for the significant level of care that he received from local doctors, nurses and staff who committed themselves to his comfort and care. This also included a serious effort on the part of the staff at UCSF in San Francisco, who lent their expertise to his care. The final touch of support from the personnel of the Snowline Hospice was very special as well.
Dennis’s passing leaves a hole in the hearts of his wife, Tamara; daughter, Kristina Fondren in the Navy (John, Air Force); son, Dennis Peek Jr.; daughter, Victoria Peek; sons, Brandon Peek in the Air Force and Joshua Peek; grandson, Jayden; and step-granddaughter, Jadyn; as well as his mother, Lorraine (Jerry) Hatfield; his sister, Diana Swain (Jim); and nephews, nieces and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father, William Peek; his sister, Deborah Cricks; and brother-in-law, Patrick Cricks Sr.
A memorial service will be held at the Camino Seventh-day Adventist Church, 3520 Carson Road in Camino, at 3 p.m., on Saturday, May 2. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Dennis’s name to Snowline Hospice, 6520 Pleasant Valley Road, Diamond Springs, CA 95619.
