Bio
Anthony Thomas "Tony" Peck 1935 - 2017 VETERAN Early Life: Tony was born October 8, 1935, at the family home near Bandwagon Park, to Thomas J. Peck and Fay Beck Peck. He was the oldest of seven children. In 1953, he graduated from Lehi High School, seminary, and was active in sports. Life's Work | Service | Interests: Tony married his high school sweetheart, Janice Adamson, on May 6, 1955, in the Salt Lake Temple. He has been active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was a member of the Lehi 5th Ward nearly all of his life. He was a member of the Army National Guard for eight years. He was half owner of Thomas J. Peck & Sons, Mining and Trucking. He worked for the family business until he retired at age 74. Some of his greatest attributes were: an immense love for people, honesty, loyalty, generosity, and his playful nature. Tony had the foresight to acquire property and see the value long before it was so. Work, hunting, and gardening were his hobbies as well as spending time with his family. Everyone was always welcome in their home and they had many visitors. He was a tease and created bonds with people by giving them attention, sometimes with his "shocker" or his strength. He was the strongest man around and many family gatherings ended in water fights or wrestling matches. He was born during the depression and never wasted food. He planted about a half-acre and tried to feed everyone from his garden. He came from a family who believed in "doctoring" with minerals and concoctions. He recently celebrated his 62nd wedding anniversary and is survived by his loving wife, Janice. She has been a nurturing caretaker all of his life and his best nurse the last few years, as he struggled with diabetes. Anthony Thomas "Tony" Peck died Tuesday, June 13, 2017, in his long-time Lehi home due to complications from a recent surgery. He was 81.
