    I am so sorry for all of you and your loss. He was an amazing guy and that's an understatement! I know me and him didn't hang out at all really but whenever we had a chance and/or we seen each other we wouldn't skip a beat to appreciate each other. Anytime we could talk cars and uplift each other we would. Always riding around on 4 wheelers with his family having a blast. Working on his muscle. We even got a few races in from time to time. He was an awesome artist as well. Musically and with paper/drawing.

    He will be missed deeply in my heart and not forgotten. He never let anyone feel in the dark. Very very kind soul to anyone and everyone.

    So so sorry. My condolences.

  13. Josh Nunez

    I am so sorry for your loss. Peter was the sweetest boy. He was the new kid in our class right after me and I'm so happy I got the privilege of getting to know him as a classmate and friend. I'll never forget the dance we shared at prom and how we laughed that we got paired for the march because we were tall. Peter will live on forever in our hearts, may he rest in peace.

  15. Andrew Gilles

    Peter you were the nicest person I’ve ever met. You will be greatly missed.❤️

  16. Taylor Chilson

    If it would be alright, some of the class of 2015 would like to attend his service of any kind. Please let me know if that would be acceptable and if not I would love to send some special flowers to the family ♥️

  17. Taylor Chilson

    Peter was easily the sweetest guy in our class, you couldn’t not smile around him. He was always having fun and he got along with everybody. He amazed us with his artwork and musical talent and class of 2015 wouldn’t have been complete without him! Rest in peace Peter, thank you for always being a bright light ♥️
