Dennis W. Peace , age 63 of Indianapolis and formerly of Elwood, passed away on Saturday, September 25, 2021 at Community Hospital North in Indianapolis following an extended illness.  He was born June 30, 1958 in Anderson, the son of Fred A. and Elinor A. (Etchison) Peace.  Dennis was a 1976 graduate of Madison Grant High School and later received an Associate's Degree in engineering.  He proudly served in the U.S. Army.  Dennis last worked for Dana Corporation in Fort Wayne for several years as a CNC programmer and engineer until his retirement due to health issues.  He formerly also lived in Thomasville, George and worked for TECT Corporation (a division of Textron) for 30 years as an engineer before moving back to Indiana.  Dennis married Tonya L. (Fitzgibbon) Deal on January 21, 2014, and they shared seven years of marriage together.

Dennis was known as a hard-working person who was very determined.  He loved playing golf, watching Notre Dame football, fishing, and playing poker online for the challenge.  He was a member of several golf clubs through the years where he lived.  More than anything, Dennis loved his family and treasured time spent with his grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.  He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
