MELVIN PEECH It is with great sorrow, the family announces the death of Melvin Peech. With his family at his side, Melvin ended his suffering and went to Paradise on Saturday, August 2, 2003 at the Brandon Regional Health Centre. Melvin was born in Rossburn, MB on May 23, 1948, the 13th child of Mike and Winnie Peech of Oakburn, MB. On November 9, 1968, Melvin married Hazel Deck. They raised their four children, Dean (Sharon) Peech, Denise Peech (Dennis Kozakevich Jr.), Dion and Wayne all now residing in Brandon. Melvin lived and worked in Brandon in the janitorial business for 33 years with Bee Clean Janitorial Co. Ltd. He also built and operated the Giant Car/Truck Wash with his family. His main concern was for his family and his grandchildren, Miceala, Daylan Peech of Brandon, Katherine Humphreys of Winnipeg and Eryk Blore of Winnipeg.
