Peter Vieira Santos Obituary

Peter V. Santos, age 63, passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 28, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.


Born on November 27, 1961, in Batalha, Portugal, Peter was the son of Joao Vieira and Carminda Rosa Santos. In 1976, he immigrated to the United States with his parents and five siblings. Shortly after, he met the love of his life, Marie, with whom he shared 47 beautiful years.


Peter is survived by his devoted wife Marie, and his cherished children: Joseph, Daniella, Victor (cousin), Tiffany (daughter-in-law), and Nicholas (son-in-law).  He was the proud grandfather of Joseph, Sophia, Natalie, and Olivia.


Peter loved spending time with his family, from racing cars and boat rides, to playing with his grandchildren, or simply relaxing with Marie. He dedicated his time to family.


A man of remarkable work ethic, Peter was known for his selflessness, generosity, and extraordinary talent. He could fix or build anything, always with ingenuity and care. His legacy lives on in the homes he built and in the countless lives he touched along the way.


Peter lived with passion and purpose. He encouraged those around him to push boundaries and live boldly. To know him was to love and admire him


He will remain in our hearts, be deeply missed and forever remembered as a fun and loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, cousin, and friend.
