I was very taken back by the news of Pete’s passing. I have soo many fond memories of him and I doing life together growing up. Let me say first that I am so sorry for your loss, the world was a better place with Pete in it. I will grieve with the hope that he is with our maker and that we will see him again in God’s Kingdom.
I knew Pete since I was in Elementary school, he was my best friend, really my only friend. We had a rough go trying to fit in, but it never stopped us from being there for each other when the other one fell down. We always enjoyed each other’s company and had fun together. We did everything together, and I loved his family, they were very good to me.
I remember some fond memories I’d like to share…
We snuck in our first attempt at trying a cigarette together, sorry Mrs. Markiewicz, we got curious. Don’t worry, it didn’t take.
I remember as a kid always playing at his house, probably because he had more fun activities to do there. Pete loved basketball which we played in his driveway often. We had lots of bicycle races down the Elm St hill, so many times playing pool in his basement, shooting his action figures with his BB gun. (We probably shot ourselves in the foot more times than I can count).
There are so many more fun memories I have of him growing up, and as I look back now that I’m older I realize Pete was my rock growing up. His friendship and his positive influence in my life taught me some very valuable life lessons. Like not to care what other people think of you, or not to judge people from the outside, just to name a few. I wish I had known him better as an adult, I feel we still could’ve been best friends.
We have all been blessed knowing who Pete was, and if we hold him in our hearts, he will never be forgotten. I have faith that God has taken Pete under his wing of safety and that he is standing firm no longer in pain. My heart goes out to the Markiewicz family and know that I am a better person for having him in my life. You will be missed Pete.
