 Carolyn, it seems like I have known you and Ray forever.  Those first few years in Hawaii created many memories and I learned much from both of you.  I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you , Cory, and Crissy, but I do know that God is surrounding you with His love and comfort.  May your memories bring joy to your heart.

Ray was one who cared about identifying individuals gifts and helping them to use these for the advancement of God's kingdom.  Sandy and My prayers are with the family as the continue to celebrate their memories of him during this Christmas Season.  Blessings!

It's hard to believe that Lt. Col. Peakock is now with the Lord. He always looked so strong and full of joy. He was a great blessing to me when he was the Training principal at CFOT.

One of our favorite people.  Always had a kind and encouraging word for us.  He'll be deeply missed, but at the same time, we are joyful that we'll see him again in glory.  Our love and prayers to Carolyn and family.

I have many great memories of Ray, including going to Rwanda with him as part of the Salvation Army team that first went in after the war in 1994.  He will be greatly missed. My prayers are with his family.

Our prayers are with Carolyn, Cory and Crissy.  We first worked together at the Program Section at THQ as Lieutants and Captains.  We often car pooled and I always felt comfortable sharing wilth Ray my personal journey.  I know his ministry will be missed.   Don & Debi Bell (Commissioners - USS Territory.

We met when you were National Social Services Secretary then you came to Tulsa where I was Social Services Director. You were incredibly thoughtful and kind to me and my family. We kept in touch to your time as Principle at CFOT then DC in Denver. You were always encouraging and a consummate social work professional and minister. The light of Christ showed in you and your many friendships. Thank you, Ray, for being a true servant of an inclusive God. Champion of the marginalized and advocate from within an imperfect human organization. Thank you for your friendship. Sincere condolence to Carolyn and your family. Well done my friend, Ray Peacock. Never forgotten. RIP.

Ray, was always a "Gentleman" of the first Order.  He had lots of strength and qualities, but he was never impressed with "self"  The world and our lives were made richer by his grace and friendliness.  Heaven's a richer place.  Our sympathy, prayers and love go out to Carolyn and the family.

I remember he always had a great smile, and a great warrior. Prayers to the family

While I'm saddened by Ray's Promotion to Glory, I rejoice with the family that he is in the presence of the Lord he loved so much and served so well.  My prayers are with all of you.

Betty and I send our greetings and love.  We will miss Ray as will many others.  Our love to the family.

I will always remember Colonel because he was the first DC who hired me back into the Army as an employee.  He was a very gifted man who cared about others and how others felt.  He was always quick to offer words of encouragment.  I will be praying for Carolyn and the entire Peacock family.  Much love to you all.

Ray was an incredible man of God. He will be missed. My prayers and thoughts go out to the family.

Ray gave me some good suggestions and help when I was doing my summer assignment in Spokane in 1987, when he was the Divisional Secretary. He will be missed by a lot of people, but there will come a day when we will all be reunited again, once we're called across the River. My prayers will go out for the family in this time of loss.

Well done good and faithful servant! Thank you for your leadership and compassion!

One of my very first memories of Denver Citadel was Ray Peacock.  And the very best was the night I accepted the Lord as my Lord and Savior.  I was very hesitant because I had heard my mom say in a Bible study group that she didn't think children could be saved because they wouldn't understand .  Every one there knew I was under conviction and no one was giving up on me.  Especially my friend Ray.  He and a group of precious young people prayed and talked to me until I went to the alter where Mrs. Brig. Bodine & Mrs. Colonel Sloan led me to the Lord. I feel that I was  blessed to have Ray as a friend.  I will truly miss "my buddy.  God Bless You Carolyn and Family you will be in my prayers. Love you all  Kay

We are thinking of you and praying for you today as you celebrate the life of Ray..Certainly his intellect,spiritual curiosity,and attention to others will be cherished by many of us who had the opportunity to work along side of him.
May God's presence be yours during this time of loss and in the coming days.

Ray was a long time friend of over 50 years, a fellow Salvation Army officer, a
Musician, scholar, husband, father, grandfather and fellow believer. Ray you will be
Missed but you are in a far better place, you have finished your race well! Your example will challenge all of that shall follow you at some point! We will continue to love the people of your life your family. We don't know what to say but by our presence, acts of kindness and love we won't fill the place that is empty by your padding but we will share love, hope, strength, courage and understanding as they grieve, shed tears, withdraw, heal and move forward. That is what we will do Ray because that is what you would have done if roles were reversed. Thanks for the memories my friend we will meet again!!! RIP

A good friend and a highly respected officer and human services professional. He influenced many through his compassion, understanding and drive to improved The Salvation Army's programs. He will be sorely missed. Prayers on behalf of Carolyn and the family.

Our lives have been blessed by having Ray as a member of our family. He was truly a gentleman and a scholar! It was our pleasure sharing the "Cousins Reunion" with him & Carolyn in August. We enjoyed his sense of humor and willingness to participate even when he wasn't feeling his best. Our thoughts, prayers, & love are extended to Carolyn, Cory & his family, Crissy, Ray's siblings, extended family, & friends. Ray, your bright smile and gracious demeanor will truly be missed.

So deeply sorry for your loss, Carolyn and family.  We will be praying for you all during these days of sorrow.  We know that God is comforting you with His arms of love.  Even though this is very hard to believe,  we trust the Lord knows what is best for each one of us.  Love you all!

May God provide the family of Lt. Col. Peacock with His comfort.  Rest in peace.


                                                                     Kittura J. Wimer (San Diego, CA)

I have known Ray and Carolyn since 1967. He has lived a good life and contributed much to the kingdom of God through his ministry with The Salvation Army. Ray was a real Man of God and a great family man too. A wonderful example to so many over the years. Love and prayers to Carolyn and all the family.

What an amazing man of God.  My life was changed because of His influence.  Blessings and peace to the family. Darlene Ward

This time last year your Ray called my Ray to say good-bye.  They had a special bond!  I have fond memories of our time in Hawaii as well.  May God be with you during this difficult time and in the difficult days ahead.  You and all the family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God's love surround you.

May the Father of love and peace hold your hearts next to His as He pours His balm of peace over your sore and heavy hearts. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this immeasurably dark and painful time. All our love, Laura and Meaghan Fenton

The Colonel devoted his life to service to God, God's people, and The Salvation Army.  His influence in the future will be flet for generations by his service to Crestmont College.  may God's rest and peace be with him.

Sincere sympathy and prayers for everyone in the family. We are really having a hard time believing that he has passed on. He was a blessing to the world and he will certainly be missed very much.  The Hutchins family.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.Col. Ray Peacock will be missed dearly. Our deepest sympathy to all. May God continue to give you strength during these difficult times.

Im so sorry to all of my family. I know we will all miss him dearly. I love my uncle Ray. Rest in peace uncle. I love you!

You touched the lives of every person you met. Love to you

Lt Colonel Peacock was a lover of The Salvation Army, the Citadel Corps, Metro Denver social services, and of course The Kingdom.  He inspired to be better and to do more.  Blessings on the family!  God has gained a great saint.

Our thoughts and prayers for God's immeasurable peace are with you, Carolyn, Chris and Cory.

Certainly praying that God will bring rest and peace during this difficult time.  Fred and Jeni Gregory

Carolyn, Cory & Chris--

I was deeply saddened to hear of Ray's passing.  He was a wonderful gentleman, sterling Salvationist, gifted leader.  It was a real joy to work under him those years at THQ.  My prayers are with you all just now.  He will indeed be missed!

Colonel was like a brother to me.  When I first met him,  he told me about his sister name,  Leslie.  We have the same name.  Do I was the sister from another Mother.  Yes,  He was my Brother in Christ. Love In Christ, Big Brother.

I came to know Lt. Colonel Peacock mostly through his wonderful son and daughter Cory and Cris when I was Music Director in the NCV division. My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Peacock and the family. You can be assure of my prayers. Proverbs 3:5-6

Debi and I are still in shock.  What a wonderful man, with a caring heart.  I remember the trip to Greece and Turkey and how much fun we all had together. Ray was at Brengle when I went and I was always trying to get into his classes, having his parents as soldiers at Denver Citadel was a real treat and they were so proud of Ray and all their children.  
He encouraged us as the DS in the Northwest many years ago when we were in Everett.  He could always be counted on as a true friend.  I will remember his great sense of humor.  There is a spot in our hearts that cannot be filled because Ray is gone.  Love and Blessings to you, may God give you peace during this difficult time.

Ray was a very caring person. One of our favorite persons ever..  As our Divisional Commander he was thoughtful and caring and he believed in his officers.   It was a pleasure to serve under his leadership.  Thanks Col., for your great example!

What a shock this is, he was such a nice man. He will be missed by all who knew him. Our prayers go out to his family and all who knew him. God Bless.....!
                                                 Jim and Shirley Hickey (Fort Collins , Co )

Our deepest sympathies go out to you, Carolyn, Cory and Cris.  Mere words cannot describe the shock and sadness we feel in Ray's Promotion to Glory.  We can only imagine how great your loss must be. We remember well our Training College days together and our "jello" escapades.  Ray was always an inspiration to everyone.  He was my "boss" during my last assignment as an active officer; and he was most supportive and encouraging.  We know he is in heaven; and our prayer is that God will supply you with an abundance of peace, comfort and strength during these most difficult days.  Love 'n Prayers,  Ruth & Ralph

I remember Colonel Ray fondly from our days at the CFOT in San Francisco!   He and Bill were in the same Brigade!  I will always remember when they went to Colorado on Campaigns how Ray would be in shirt sleeves and the rest all bundled up in coats, etc!  Ernie and I are remembering your family in prayer!

I am very proud to have known and worked with Colonel Ray. I consider him a true friend. I will always remember his wonderful smile.  He will be greatly missed by his friends and family. May God hold Carolyn, Cory & Crissy in the palm of His hand and comfort them with His everlasting love.

Ray was a on instramental part of my spiritual life. He will be missed. My prayers go out to his family today. Blessings Carolyn, Cory and Chrissy.

What a shock it was to learn that Ray had been promoted to Glory!  Please be assured, Carolyn and all the family members, that you will be in my prayers and that our precious Holy Spirit will comfort you during these hard times. What a fine, loving, Christian man, husband, father, leader and pastor Ray was. He'll be missed by many until we're all reunited in Glory. Hugs to you Carolyn.

Carolyn Chrissy Cory you are in our thoughts and prayers. Ray was a true example of a man of God and a great leader . May God surround you with his love and fill your thoughts with great memories.

We were shocked to hear Rays  Promotion To Glory.  I am sure as he entered the gates of heaven, he heard his Savior say, "well done! thou good and faithful servant".  He we'll be greatly missed.

There is peace in knowing Col. Ray Peacock is rejoicing in heaven this day with his parents Les and Helen.  Prayers for Mrs. Col. Peacock and family as you learn to continue on Earth without your dearest husband, brother, father, uncle and friend.  One day you will all rejoice together again in Heaven.

So many memories of our teen years in Denver, Colorado where our friendship began. Along with his Mom and Dad, brothers and sister a vital part of The Salvation Army Corps. Black Forest Pie in the little diner next to the Corps, "Round Up Sunday", teen night after the Sunday Night Salvation meeting and the many other events that he and Kay Moyle promoted to bring people into the Corps. His legacy of  faithfulness truly lives on in the investment he made in planting and nurturing the joy of the Lord in the lives of others.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family!

I knew Ray primarily as the father and uncle of friends, and also during my time working at the Salvation Army's Territorial Headquarters.  I have always respected him as a faithful follower of Jesus and someone who valued education and serving others.  When I think about my various encounters with him, I keep thinking about his infectious smile.  :)  Blessings and prayers to the Peacock family as you mourn his transition from this world into God's loving arms.

We are praying that God's peace and comfort rest on the family of a man who lived well and finished strong.

Ray was one of a kind. He always had a smile for us kids, even when the rest of the adults were scolding us. He made me feel like I could achieve whatever I set my mind to. I thank God I had so many wonderful soldiers in my life that helped make me the woman I am today. Carolyn, Cory and Cris you are all in my prayers, and I know the pain you are in with the loss but just imagine the party going on in heaven right now! The real blessing in all of this is that we know where he is and we know he's there waiting with open arms for our return. God bless your family.

As the Corps Offiicer of the San Pedro Corps, both Ray and Carolyn were very supportive in my early years as an Officer.  I remember having deep theological discussions that challenged my thinking and spending time watching their dog while on the road in ministry.  In my last appointment, he was a proponent of the remodel of the Social Service facility in Downtown Denver.  He loved his wife, kids, and ministry in The Salvation Army.

What a surprise and shock it was to learn of Ray's being promoted to Glory.  God taught me many things through his life.  I will be praying for you and the family.  Bless you, Carolyn.

We wish your family peace and many happy memories of loving moments with Raymond. We continue to enjoy getting to know Cris, welcome her great sense of humor and can easily see she inherited her fathers beautiful smile.

I'm so sorry about your loosing Ray. Knowing he is in heaven is a comfort,  but it doesn't diminish the huge loss you feel. I have many memories of Ray from Seattle and at THQ in the program department. He once said to me at THQ, 
" when you come to me with a problem or issue of some kind, also come with possible solutions." I have remembered that and use it in my current career.  I do understand the shock of a brief illness and sudden loss. You can count on my prayers for you Carolyn, and for your whole family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
The Brennekes

I never had the honor of meeting you sir but you raised a daughter you can be proud of.  She is a wonderful woman and I am proud to call her my friend.  You should be very proud.  May you rest in peace.

Adrian Heckinger

We will be forever grateful to Lt. Col. Peacock and his lovely wife who were instrumental and encouraged us to become officers in The Salvation Army.  He was our 1st Divisional Commander who treated us with love and respect. He always made Jesus a priority and always showed interest in what God was doing in our ministry.  He will be forever missed.  Our love and prayers go out to his family.  Majors Jerry & Vicky Esqueda
On a side note before becoming an officer:  I (Vicky) loved working at DHQ with his children Cory & Cristin.  I have such fond, fun memories of playing "spoons" everyday during lunch and trying so hard to be quiet and not knock over tables as we grabbed for spoons :) It never occured to me that one day my "spoon partners" dad would one day be my boss. Thanks for the memories!

Uncle Ray was an amazing man. The work he did for The Lord was awe inspiring. He was someone everyone looked up to and for a good reason. The last memory I have of my uncle he was rolling a ball with my son and even at the age of 1 my son was in awe of him. Even though his passing is sad we know he is up there with our lord and savior watching over us and has been reunited with his parents. We can all rest well knowing he is looking down on us. We love you uncle Ray
