Tom passed away peacefully at home from heart failure with his wife Michelle and children. Tom grew up in Colonia and resided in Garwood, NJ at the time of his passing. His life was filled with so much love. He adored his wife and loved his children Ashley, Hailee and TJ Darling. Bear, Pepper, Cheeks and Irish were their animals and they were a big part of his life.

Tom will be remembered as a loving and devoted family man as well as supportive brother, uncle and friend.

Tom is survived by his wife, children, brothers Stephen, Joseph and Jeffrey Peake, Sisters Kimberly Wright-Peake, Donna Cyphers, Niece Jill Askew and Nephew Nicholas Cyphers. He is predeceased by his parents Edward Peake, Bernadette Peake and his adopted parents Richard Buess and Barbara Buess.

Along with raising a family, Tom and Michelle were able to have a successful Home Inspection Business and Hair Salon.

Tom’s thoughtfulness extended beyond his immediate family. He felt honored to be a former volunteer Firefighter in several communities including Colonia, Iselin and Quakertown NJ. The passion of being a Fireman ran through his blood. Helping people is what he loved to do no matter if you were family, friend or a stranger. He had a huge heart and passed down so much of his passion to his children.

Tom was deeply loved and will be missed greatly. Although Tom is no longer with us, he will Forever be in Our Hearts. Godspeed, until we meet again. We will love you for Eternity!
