Pete Jr was born and raised in Seguin, he was the oldest sibling and was the best big brother and son anyone could ever have he loved his family and loved spending time with not just his siblings but his aunts, uncles and cousins. Pete Jr. moved to Las Vegas when he was 26 and made a life for himself there no matter where he worked he would always get promoted because of his hard work, dedication, ethic and integrity. Before Pete passed away he worked for Suites Inn where he started as a clerk and was shortly promoted to an Auditor; he would end up making friends that would ultimately become family where some would even call him uncle and others would see him as a brother. When he made visits to come home we all made sure to cook him his favorite meals and made sure he got to see all the family. He enjoyed it so much he would say “time just fly's by too fast wish I could stay longer.” He was one who hated saying goodbye; it was "I'll see you later." He loved to laugh and reminisce about good childhood memories, as a youth he loved singing and dancing. He knew all the words to all the hit pop music songs, he also loved helping others whether he had to give or not he would find a way to help and  bless that person; his heart was certainly a grand one. Lastly, Pete had a pet bird Macaw named Bogue whom he has had for 28 years. Bogue was not only his pet but was his baby, his family and l have no doubt Bogue is missing Pete too. Bogue will now be taken care of by his lifelong friend Roy T. Pete Jr. certainly left a beautiful legacy and beautiful memories. Although our hearts are broken we will treasure our memories of him which are God's gift to us when our loved ones are called home. We also take great comfort in knowing that he is with our sweet Lord Jesus, his beloved brother ( Papacito Chulo) Michael and our other beloved family members.
