Pete's Memory Wall

We encourage you to share your most beloved memories of Pete here, so that the family and other loved ones can always see it. Share your favorite stories or comment on those shared by others.

Dear Pete

I dont feel the suns comin out today
Its staying in, its gonna find another way.As I sit here in this misery, I dontThink Ill ever see the sun from here.And oh as I fade away,
Theyll all look at me and say, and theyll say,Hey look at him! Ill never live that way.But thats okay
Theyre just afraid to change.When you feel your life aint worth living
Youve got to stand up andTake a look around you then a look way up to the sky.And when your deepest thoughts are broken,Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin its time to die.
And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
Some ways will work and other ways well play.But I know we all cant stay here forever,So I want to write my words on the face of today.And then theyll paint itAnd oh as I fade away,
Theyll all look at me and theyll say,
Hey look at him and where he is these days.When life is hard, you have to change.-----"Change" by Blind Melon

Pete we will miss you greatly. Words cannot describe but we thought this song was the closest we could get. We know Blind Melon is your fav. Your sisterens will love you forever brotheren. God Bless

Bruce & Angel – Our hearts are breaking for you and for all the kids that Pete had such an impact on. We have been sitting here in awe as we watch the tears of his closest friends and listen to the memories they are sharing of the real Pete. Be comforted by knowing that he held a very special place in many hearts. Our prayer is that Pete has found peace in the arms of Jesus and that others will turn to him for comfort during this very difficult time. Sincerely - Gregg & Theresa Griffin (Pete – I’m going to beat you in euchre when we meet again!)

Bruce, Angel and Jake,
There are no words or actions that can take away the pain that you are feeling right now. The loss of such a young adult is so hard to comprehend.
Just know that your family and friends are there for you.

Your healing and comfort will come in time and when it does you will still have the memories of Pete left in your heart.

May God bring you comfort and healing over the next several weeks and months and in the years to come.

Petey. I will never forget all the memories from hs. all the nights all of us spent hanging at your house and hot tubbing. all those lazy days sitting around playing the guitar. car rides around town in your car and mine blaring our music. all the those days hanging at captain nemos. you beeping my phone uncontrollably all the time. winterfest '05. me having to take you shopping to find good clothes. i will miss you so much . you will always be the little brother i never had. i love you and i will never forget all the memories.

my thoughts are with you Bruce, Angel and Jake.

Please know Dustin and I are so very sorry for the huge loss that you and your family are experiencing. On a few occasions I had the pleasure of listening to Pete play his guitar. Dustin has always admired how well Pete played; often asking me to listen to something new Pete at taught him. Pete created many great memories with all his friends that they will forever cherish. As parents, you should be very proud of the well mannered, respectful and talented young man Pete had become.

Mitchell Family,
First of all, I'm aching for you. I sit in my dorm room so far away from home and still get reminded of the great loss that we all are suffering from. As you know, I had the great pleasure of growing up with Pete. Almost all of my fondest memories of my childhood had him in them. He was the reason that I had an obsession with the Miami Dolphins and the reason that my favorite number was and still is 11. He was my first love from kindergarten starting from our first kiss when he gave me a kickball :). I will always hold him in my heart as I know you will too. I would give so much to be home right now and even though I can't make it, my heart is with you all.

We are so sorry for your loss. Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. You have to believe that Pete was here for a reason and your connection could never be broken. We know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. May the peace which comes from the cherished memories of love from Pete comfort you.

Angel, Bruce and Jakester..really wish we could be there to put a big squeeze on all of you...just can't imagine your difficult time, as it hard enough for us to come to grips with. We have been sitting around remembering some of Pete's antics and laughing...good stuff. We are pulling for you guys the best way we know how, through prayers, good thoughts and hopes of incredible strength. Please remember this,"The will of God will never take you where the grace of God won't protect you." Know that you guys(and Ang) are in our thoughts.

Bret, Chris, Kyle, John & Sam Connors

Bruce, Angel, Jake and the Distefano and Mitchell families: I have great memories of Pete, Jake, Nikki and I when we were little kids...flying airplanes and driving golf carts at Grandpa Ange and Grandma Pats and swimming in their pool in the summer. I can only begin to imagine what you are all going through right now and I hope you find comfort in the messages that so many people have posted on here. My heart aches for you as you mourne the loss of Pete. Please know that I will be thinking of all of you.

Greetings to you all. I have come on the Internet publicly today to tell the world the secret behind my happiness. It was two years ago I lost a beautiful relationship with my husband and ever since then I have been trying all possible best to get him back but it hasn't worked out for me. But today it's a different story after I got a contact from the Internet about this wonderful Lord Erhun on 30th May Last year so without any time wasted I contacted him on his email: meetlorderhun@gmail.com and he got back to me on 1st June. I finally told him all my problems and he said to me, i will help you. I was happy because I have read testimonies about people he has helped without complications. Just in 48hrs my husband called me sounding so loving and romantic on the phone and told me he is coming home to me and he wants us to take our marriage vows again to prove how sorry he was.. Lord Erhun helped me to bring my husband back to me and also helped me with fertility spells, so today i am a mother. Since last year I was shy to come out publicly but after giving birth a few weeks ago I chose to let the world know about a great man called Lord Erhun. (meetlorderhun@gmail.com) I was lucky to meet him. He is friendly and helpful. He has been helping me since I contacted him and he has done a lot in my life. Contact him. With his powerful spell you shall find peace.
