Mark W. Peyton transitioned peacefully into the loving arms of his Heavenly Father on October 8, 2026, surrounded by his family.
Mark is survived by his wife and best friend Peggy, sister Phyllis Frederick (Rodger), brothers Thomas Peyton, Rik Flor (Kris). Special sister-in-law and brother-in -law, Martha and Tom Presutti, several nieces and nephews, as well as special friends Jeff and Cindy Richardson, Ashley Bennet and EC Brown.
Mark was predeceased by his parents, Charles W. Peyton and Teresa Flor.
Mark was a very caring and loving man who never really met a stranger. He had an infectious laugh and charming smile. If you truly knew Mark, you saw this. Through all his health issues, never once did he complain or ask, “why me”, he just powered through each time and worked at getting healthy again.
Special thanks to Roshannah Peters, who was not only his caregiver but became a very good friend to Mark. Thanks also to Colton Whittington for his efforts in helping Mark regain his physical strength and being a good friend; Dr. Witt Durden for his dedication and care for Mark during his many healthcare setbacks and for always answering the call no matter the time of day; the team at Advanced Physical Therapy for working so hard to help Mark each week regain his strength; the NSICU team at General Hospital for caring for Mark and showing kindness to his family and special friends during this difficult time. To the many others who helped take care of Mark over the years, thank you.
