Pete Woodrow Pesce, beloved son of Louis and Jane Pesce, died quietly in his sleep on September 26, 2021. He was 61 years old. Pete was born on August 16, 1960 in St. Louis, Missouri and lived his entire life in Longwood, Florida with his ever-patient and ever-nurturing parents.

Pete was the light of his family as he was forever young. His daily walks through the neighborhood were the stuff of legend. He greeted each passerby with an enthusiastic "Hey Neighbor". When he wasn't saying hello, he was singing to the music on his discman. Pete taught everyone to love life and value each minute with family. He had a heart big enough to heal us all and we will find solace in this for the rest of our lives.

He is survived by his parents Dr. Louis Pesce and Jane Woodrow Pesce, his sisters and brothers-in-law Susan Blake Pesce Daffey and Michael Daffey, Molly Scott Pesce Ives and Michael Ives, his nieces and nephews Charlotte, Michael, Everett, Schuyler, Wilder, Anderson and Hattie and his eleven cousins.

Rest in Peace our beautiful boy.
