Speedy was a supportive husband, father, grandfather and friend! He always went above and beyond to ensure those around him were happier than he was. He was an incredible entrepreneur and salesman that never turned away from a challenge. He may have finally conceded physically, but his spirit will live forever within all that had the privilege of knowing him and experiencing his incredible vocabulary and unique way with words! He leaves behind friends and family who are better for having known him and will miss his unforgettable presence.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Rusty Peacock; and brother, Tony Peacock.

Left to cherish Speedy’s memory are his son, Eric Peacock and wife Erin of Tennessee; daughter, Kelly Peacock of Dallas; and his siblings, Hoke Peacock and wife Lou Ann of Beaumont, Joe Peacock and wife Lana of Jacksonville, Cathy Stephens of Jacksonville, Mary Guvernator and husband Eric of Marshall and Janie Peacock of Jacksonville. He is also survived by five grandchildren.

Pallbearers will be Nick Peacock, Ben Peacock, Blake Stephens, Clint Stephens, Joel Renaud, and Trey Simmons, with honorary pallbearers Jim Peacock, Doug Radcliffe, Russell Edwards Jose Rogel, Bobby Harris.

Rather than customary condolences, memorials may be made to Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church, 1023 Corinth Rd., Jacksonville, Texas 75766.
