We are trying to mentally recover from son-in-law Dan's passing. Feel so bad for our daughter just wish there was something we could do for her.
In our daughter's words:
Dan J. Peick, age 64, of
Apple Valley, passed away on July 15, 2017 from cardiac arrest. Through the
years, Dan gave his love to people in so many ways. His favorite way to connect
to people was through his music – either playing guitar with them, recording
them playing, or coaching young players. Dan also was ready to help friends and
family fix their cars, lights, Nintendo controllers; and make their guitars play
better. Dan worked at Carestream Health for almost 13 years, wanting to work in
health care to pay back all of the support he had received from his heart
problems through the years. In 2015, he was awarded a patent
for the drum of an x-ray printer. Dan loved spending time with his daughters and
grandchildren: going out to eat at different restaurants, going to the MN State
Fair, and watching their activities. Road trips were Dan’s preferred vacation –
he loved to go to Chicago (maybe even for lunch). He reveled in the energy and
excitement of New York City and the peace we found on the beaches of Cape Cod.
What will be most missed by Brenda, his wife, are the daily walks with Dan –
most of the time at the Como Zoo & Conservatory. He had a great love for the
Como Zoo, as he grew up in St. Paul, and he had fond memories with his family at
the zoo.
Dan is preceded in death
by his parents, Thomas and Patricia Peick. He is survived by his loving wife of
22 years, Brenda; daughters, Kazia (Dustin) Juell and Rebecca Peick;
grandchildren, Logan and Holland Juell; siblings, Roberta (Don) Olson, Dianne
(Don) Greeman, Janet (Gerry) Och, Catherine (Dwight) Pilon, Tim (Denise) Peick,
Jean (Lyle) Stanley, Richard (Tami) Peick, Gerald (Trisha) Peick and Michelle
(Ron) Johnson; many nieces, nephews, other family and many friends. A gathering
of memories and sharing will be held 6:30 PM Thursday July 20, 2017 at the White
Funeral Home Chapel, 14560 Pennock Ave Apple Valley (952-432-2001) with a
gathering of friends and family from 4 to 8 PM. In lieu of flowers memorials
