Daniel R Peach (73), Grass Valley resident since 1981, passed away from heart failure on 10/2/21.
He was the youngest of four children, born to his parents William & Lois Peach, on September 28, 1948 in Omaha, Nebraska. Then when he was about five years old, he moved with his parents and siblings to Southern California. In 1981, Dan moved his family to Grass Valley and considered that to be one of the best decisions he ever made.
Dan was a truly one of a kind. He was a father, grandfather, husband, son, brother, and uncle. To all who knew him, he was your friend and your biggest fan. He took great pleasure in your success. He was a master at identifying your unique talents, and convincing you that by using those talents, you could do anything. He was endlessly proud of his children and grandchildren and loved telling anyone who would listen about their many accomplishments. He was affectionate, kind, loving, funny, and very smart. He was a great listener and terrific problem solver. Dan loved house-boating on Rollins Lake and was happiest playing his guitar while leading a family sing along. He was a Vietnam Vet, spent his career in the automotive industry and was a Narrow-Gauge Railroad enthusiast.
Dan was preceded in death by his first wife, Dianna Peach. He is survived by his wife of 8 years Patty Peach, son Tim Peach, daughter Jennifer Peach Conlon, and many beloved family and friends. Services will be at Greenwood Memorial Gardens on 10/29 @ 11:00 am.
