FLORENCE, Ky. — Friends of a Marine killed in Afghanistan say they will remember his sense of humor and his willingness to help others.
Military officials said in a statement early Feb. 23 that Lance Cpl. Adam D. Peak, 25, of Florence died Feb. 21 while supporting combat operations in Helmand province. Details haven’t been released. He was assigned to Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Katie Raverty of Rabbit Hash told The Kentucky Enquirer that she met Peak when she was a freshman at Thomas More College and he was helping with new student orientation. Raverty described Peak as a jokester.
“He always had witty comments and we became friends right away,” Raverty said.
Caleb Finch, who was in a fraternity with Peak and lived with him for a while, described him as “a big-hearted, free-spirited, fun-loving guy who would do anything for anybody.”
