James William “Billy/Caddy” Peek, 68, of Houston, DE, formerly of Franklin, died on Tuesday, May 4, 2021.
Born in Transylvania County, NC, he was the son of the late Furman Lee and Jeanette Hulda Holland Peek. Billy was a member of Buck Creek Baptist Church and was known for always being available to help others. He was affectionately known as “Billy” to some, and “Caddy” to others, but the names he most cherished was “dad, papaw and honey”.

Numerous nieces and nephews also survive.
