Stuart Martin Peck was born July 30, 1948, to Andrew II and Clara Peck. He passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, surrounded by his family. 

Stu grew up in Fort Custer, graduating from Springfield High School in 1966. He helped his parents from a young age, working in the family businesses, Peck's Landscaping, and Peck's Rock Shop. He served in the U.S. Air Force after high school, working in crypto communications, and traveling the world.

He married Karen Green in 1971 and had two daughters, Shelley and Kristy. From 1981 until the early 90s, he ran the family store, Peck's Sportsman's Post in Lacey, MI.

Stuart worked at Clark Equipment Company, Cello-Foil, Patten Michigan Monument Company, and a few other places, as well. He was a firefighter/Lieutenant for 23 years for Johnstown Township.
