In Loving Memory of Dr. John Hollis Peacock

​John Hollis Peacock, M.D., Ph.D., of Reno, passed away on March 4th, 2024 at the age of 85. John was a beloved neurologist who served the Reno and VA community and taught at the UNR Medical School for over 40 years. He was a curious, dedicated researcher who published 42 academic papers and still itched to learn more every day. He was an avid runner who ran several 100-mile races, including the Western States and the Leadville 100. It was his goal to be in shape for a marathon at all points in time. Despite his many accomplishments, he was a humble family man who loved sharing his infectious curiosity for the world with his family. He always demonstrated incredible strength and even said in the days leading to his death: “it’s just another marathon”. He is preceded in death by his parents, Eldred and Roberta, and his two sisters, Frankie and Margie. He is survived by his wife, Susan, 5 daughters (Tanya, Katie, Alyssa, Candace, and Brianna), 5 grandchildren, and the Reno community who will dearly miss his care, teachings, and most of all, his quirkiness.
 
To celebrate his life and to share memories of John, please join us from 1-3pm on Sunday, June 2nd at the Bridge Church (1330 Foster Drive) in Reno.
