Governor Beshear has ordered flags at half-staff in honor of a Kentucky Marine killed in Afghanistan over the weekend.
25-year-old Lance Cpl. Adam Peak, of Florence, was killed Sunday by an improvised explosive device.
“He wouldn’t have it any other way,” Robin Peak, Adam Peak’s sister-in-law said. “He wants to be with his brother.”
Until the end, family members say the Peak brothers shared the closest of bonds.
“They joined the Marines the same week,” Robin Peak said. “They got out of boot camp within two weeks of each other, and went straight to Camp Lejeune, so they were always together. They were night and day when it comes to personalities, but they would do absolutely anything for each other.”Lance Cpl. Peak was a graduate of Boone County High School and Thomas More College.
He is survived by his parents, brother, and two sisters.
Governor Beshear ordered flags at state buildings to be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset on the day of Peak’s funeral.
