FRANKLIN - Harvey Len Peacock was born on Aug. 30, 1930, in St. Peters-burg, Florida, to James Dewey and Rinnie Kate Adcock Peacock. Harvey was a veteran, serving in the United States Army during the Korean War.
Harvey had a 35-year tenure with Florida Power serving as the general line superintendent at Florida Power’s largest satellite office. He had the ability to repair almost anything and was always willing to help others even if he found it difficult to accept help for himself. He was never happy sitting on the sidelines since he was a “doer” at heart.
Harvey lived an extraordinary life. A member of First Pentecost Church in Franklin, Harvey was definitely a child of God. The way he lived was a testimony that he loved and served his Lord Jesus. He was a member of a Bible study group while he was able to attend and read and studied the Bible daily. His love and loy-alty to his family will long be remembered. Harvey was a deep thinker who wasted very few words. He was faithful, reliable, and tough.
Harvey loved road trips, especially through the Nantahala Gorge and to Gaines-ville, Georgia, via all the backroads through the small towns. Harvey was a “pig” on a mission. All who knew him best knew exactly when Harvey would stop. His main goal for the road trips was to stop for lunch at precisely 12 p.m. or for dinner at precisely 5 p.m. A clock could be set with Harvey’s stomach. In his spare time, Harvey enjoyed woodworking and golf. He also raised and trained hawks. He called his favorite hawk “Slewfoot” because it had a broken leg when he res-cued it.
Harvey went on to Glory on Dec. 31, 2021. He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Carolyn Sellers Peacock; son, David Peacock and spouse Jo Lynn of Franklin; grandchildren, Alicia Nicole Peacock and Chelsea Ray Cerisoli; step-grandson, Nazir Tavlan; great-grandson, Lincoln Zane Peacock. He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, and three sisters.
A celebration of life will be held Feb. 21, at First Pentecost Church starting at 2 p.m., including the VFW/American Legion Honor Guard.
