Leonard Albert Peck, II

In Loving Memory of Leonard Peck II, Born in Rapid City, South Dakota, Passed Away November 2, 2026, at

Age 70. It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Leonard (Len) Peck II on November 2, 2026. Born in Rapid City, South Dakota, Len lived a life that leaves behind a lasting legacy of family, memories, and love. Though his journey on this earth has come to an end, the memories he created and the lives he touched will continue to live on through those who loved him.

Len proudly served his country in the United States Navy before retiring. His dedication and service will always be remembered with pride and gratitude. Beyond his military service, Len enjoyed life’s simple pleasures, especially golfing. Spending time on the golf course was something he truly enjoyed, and those memories will remain a special part of the life he lived.

Len also had a wonderful sense of humor and loved telling jokes and making people laugh. He enjoyed bringing smiles to the faces of those around him, and his laughter and playful personality will be deeply missed. Those who knew him will remember not only the stories he shared but also the laughter that came with them. Sometimes, the greatest memories are the ones that still make us smile years later.

Len leaves behind a loving family who will forever carry his memory in their hearts. He was a father, grandfather, brother, and uncle whose place in the family can never be replaced. He is also lovingly remembered by his partner, Shirley Wright.

Len was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Wanda Peck; his father, Leonard Peck; and his brother, Don Peck. Left to cherish his memory are his children: Trinity Peck, Deseraie Cain (Bo), Danielle Girod (Jon), Savannah Gonzalez (Sean), and Christopher Peck. He also leaves behind his six beloved grandchildren: Illeonna Bowden, Emma Cain, Evan Cain, Lily Cain, Bennett Cain, and Juniper. He is also survived by his brother, Kim Peck; his sisters, Tami Bennett, Val Beaner, Renee Ruth, Mary Bustos, and Tina Lame; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Len’s passing leaves an emptiness that words cannot describe. There will be moments when his family wishes they could hear his voice one more time, share one more conversation, hear one more joke, or simply have one more day together. Although those moments can no longer be made, the memories will forever remain.

A loved one’s life is never measured only by the years they lived, but by the memories they leave behind and the hearts that will continue to hold them close. Len will always be a part of his family’s story, and his memory will live on through his children, grandchildren, siblings, and generations to come. Fair winds and following seas, Len. You served your country; your watch is over. May you rest peacefully, Sailor. Keep the laughter going wherever you are. You are loved, you are missed, and you will never be forgotten.
