In loving memory of James Walter Peck, “JW.”

JW went to be with Jesus, his Lord and Savior on Sept. 2, 2022. We will all miss his beautiful, contagious smile.

JW started his own business, “Peck and Peck Excavating”, in Kootenai County in 1980, which is now run by his son Greg. JW and Sharon loved making numerous contributions to the community. He was a member of Crossroads Community Church in Rose Lake where he and his wife Sharon were the worship leaders. JW loved to play music with his family, around the campfire, and at church.
