Pete married the love of his life, Lisa Thomas Clement, on March 19, 1994 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Pete helped raise his 2 children Cole, 24 and Tara, 22 with love, laughter, and faith.

Lisa it is So hard to believe that you are going through this as young as you are. I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet Pete. You and your children will be in my families prayers.
Love Dawn Williams
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul;
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
RIP Brother…
I am devastated by the news of Peter’s passing, a revelation that has just reached me. As my messages echoed into unanswered voids and emails ceased to find their way, I turned to the online realm only to stumble upon this heart-wrenching announcement. The shock of this unexpected news reverberates through me.
Peter, affectionately known as Pete, shared countless moments with my family during his time in Germany, leaving us with an abundance of cherished memories. Peter supported me and helped me buy a car during my visit to the USA. After my return to Germany, our contact initially faded away and I was incredibly grateful when he reconnected nearly two decades later. I have many beautiful memories of Peter, for which I am deeply grateful and will cherish as something very precious forever.
To Peter’s family, I extend my heartfelt and deepest condolences. May the strength to endure these trying times be found in the warmth of cherished recollections.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I’m so sorry about this and wonder how the family is doing. I loved working with Pete at AstraZeneca and will remember him fondly as always kind and loads of fun!! . Much love to you Lisa and Tara and Cole.
Oh my gosh! I grew up with Pete at Sacred Heart & Kennedy. He was part of a trio of best friends with my brother Timmy and Derek. I loved Pete back then. He had the best hair hahaha he had the original hair flop that boys strive so hard for now. He was so funny and playful and caring, I can only imagine the man he grew up to be. I always thought he would be the best dad. Peace to all who knew and loved him.
