James Peacock Obituary

James Glenn Peacock COLUMBIA, SC - James Glenn Peacock, 78, of Columbia, died peacefully at Agape Hospice Care in Lexington after a long illness on April 11, 2020. Glenn was born at Womack Hospital in Fort Bragg, NC on July 13, 1941, the son of James Ashley Peacock and Louisa Glenn Peacock (nee McNairy). Glenn leaves behind a younger brother, Joel (Jane), niece Kate and nephew Jay, son John Ashley (Sara), and his beloved grandsons Wells Pratt Peacock and Lowell James Peacock. Glenn grew up in Laurinburg, NC and moved to Hapeville, GA, until his senior year of high school, when he returned to Laurinburg and to old friends. After high school, he attended East Carolina University, and returned home to work for his father in the family furniture store. In 1971, he went to work for Southwire Company, in Carrollton, GA, the start of a long and fruitful career in the wire and cable industry. In 1977, Glenn joined the agency of Fox Rowden McBrayer, where he forged lifelong friendships with colleagues and customers, retiring in 2007. Over the years, Glenn established and maintained a most extensive and diverse network of friends that became family. His grandfather, Mr. McNairy, was a passionate gardener, and this network was Glenn's garden. Glenn's garden has bloomed beautifully in the days since his passing, and it will be tended for years to come. The family would like to thank the team at Compassionate Care Hospice, as well as the staff at Agape Hospice Care of Lexington. Visit our guestbook at www.legacy.com/obituaries/ charleston

Just heard about Glen or as we called him, Peacock. I was blessed to see Peacock almost every Tuesday at the Mouse Trap for trivia. He played with team APACHE. All of my favorites played on that team. A great man. Thankful to have met this sweet man.

Glenn was truly one of a kind. An intelligent, warm and caring man that was a pleasure to work with for many years as a customer and also a friend. Never without a crossword puzzle or a good book to reference. He will be missed by many.

Glenn will be sorely missed but long remembered. His dry humor, lightning wit, and never ending vocabulary made him truly one of a kind. I know I am a richer person by knowing Glenn and our long friendship will always be very special to me. RIP my friend, you will always be loved and remembered. To a special Hornet.
