Services were held at 1:30 p.m., Wednesday at the Zion Lutheran church here for Frederick (Rick) Norman Peeks, 23, Wilton, who drowned Sunday at Lake McBride, Solon.
The Rev. Garth Baker will officiate. The body is at Gill Memorial Home, Wilton, where visitation started today. Burial will be in Oakdale cemetery, Wilton.
Gary Hughes, Johnson county sheriff, said Peeks drowned when he fell out of a small sail boat about 4:30 p.m. Sunday near the north shore of Lake McBride. The body was recovered about 7:45 p.m. Sunday.
Authorities said Peeks was sailing on the lake with a female companion when he apparently fell out of the craft. Two boats from the Solon fire department conducted dragging operations. The drowning was the first on Lake McBride since 1967, said Hughes.
A life resident of Wilton, Peeks was born Sept. 2, 1949, in Iowa. His parents were Norman F. and Maurine Wacker Peeks. He was a student at Northeast Missouri State University at Kirksville and was a member of the Tri-County Playcasters.
