Born on September 10, 1997, also in Albuquerque, Pete's vibrant spirit and creative soul touched many throughout his 26 years.

An artist at heart, Pete's passions were as diverse as his talents. He found joy in making and writing music, expressing his vision through drawing, and mastering the craft of barbering at Priceless Cuts. His hands were rarely still, often busy working on small engines, a testament to his inventive nature. Pete's sense of humor was a beacon of light, and his love for fashion was evident in his collection of shoes, clothes, and jewelry. Pete was a very stylish guy!

Above all, Pete was a loving and funny individual, whose creativity was only surpassed by his humility and willingness to help others. His unique outlook on life made him truly priceless, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
