Edward Wayne Peek

Edward Wayne Peek, age 75, passed away peacefully at Aperion Care in Demotte, IN. Wayne was born in Goodsprings, TN and grew up in Black Oak (Gary, IN). He attended Calumet High School and followed in our father's footsteps operating his own used car lot off Broadway in Gary. You could always find him on Fridays at Dyer Auto Auction buying and selling used cars. Wayne was a die-hard fan of the Rolling Stones and attended numerous concerts with family and friends. Family members who attended the Stones 2024 tours in Chicago & Atlanta brought him much loved Stones memorabilia which he enjoyed. He won a Harley Davidson bike one year and entered a contest for a new beer "FAT TIRE" and wrote the best beer jingle winning a FAT TIRE BIKE!
