Henry Peace, 95, peacefully passed away at home in Turlock, California surrounded by loving family members on July 14, 2026. Henry was born in Coalton, Oklahoma in 1931 to Rosa Darras and Joe Peace.
Henry is preceded in death by his wife Imogene Peace (Myers), his sons Joseph Peace and William Tillman (Peace), his brother Chester Peace, sisters Rosalie Finn and Juanita Lindley.
Henry leaves his beloved companion Stinker, two daughters and spouses Charlotte Okamura (George) and Suzette Angell and son John Henry (Peace)(Osie). Henry has four grandchildren, Christa Okamura, Joseph Henry, Kristi Fillman, and Heather Carver. He has 4 great grandsons and 2 great granddaughters, Easton, Conner, Cooper, Kylee, Darren, Lauren. Henry leaves three sisters, Jessie Rogers, Oklahoma, Alice Salehi, Fresno, and Sandra Wooten, Oklahoma, along with many nieces and nephews in California and Oklahoma. He also had a beloved donkey in Montana Daisy May.
Henry served for 4 years in the Airforce and was a veteran of the Korean War. He met Imogene in Turlock after he was discharged, so he stayed here in Turlock to raise their family. He loved the outdoors, camping, fishing, gardening and when he got white line fever he wanted to go for a drive in his truck. He was a funny guy, very quick, witted and a great storyteller. He said he never lied but he could, stretch the truth, when he told his stories. He was known for cute phrases; Thanks for coming and thanks for leaving, I’ll help the needy but not the greedy, See you in the funny papers.
The family will be planning a celebration of life in September. There will be a private interment with the family. His only request was that when you are at Kennedy Meadows go to the bar and have a beer or go and get an ice cream in the store. Rest in Peace.
Donations can be made in the form of planting a tree in his honor.
