Pete McKeon :: Celebration of Life & Donations

This was posted on Facebook today by Pete's daughter and I wanted to make sure everyone was made aware of the celebration of life for him and where to donate if you wanted to do so.

Quote:
With a saddened heart, I wanted to let my father's friends know that he passed away on Monday morning. He fought a 4 year battle with brain cancer. He will be greatly missed by all. A Celebration of Life will be held at Brown-Wynne Funeral Home located at 1701 E. Millbrook Road, Raleigh, NC on Saturday, October 11 from 3-5. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center.
Here's the link for the donations...

Here's another way to remember Pete...

Ride your SEROTTA and drink some RED in honor of PETE

Sounds like a life well-lived. Too rare, and gone too soon. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

Lovely ceremony today

many touching recalls of life friendships with Pete. Nice to see Thom B. fly in from SoCal as well Paul E and myself represent the old guard of the Serotta Forum.

Pete introduced me to Ben S. at the NAHBS in Austin. A gentleman and a gem.

Pete McKeon :: Celebration of Life & Donations

I haven't been on in a while. Just seeing this.

I would always see him out riding with people over the years. I saw Pete out riding last summer, and think I was going the other way as his group a few times this year. Always a nice guy. Always a wave. Just a month ago he was leaving a shop as I was going in. I'll miss his being a fixture around here.

I hope it brings his family comfort to know how many people he touched; how he'll be remembered.

Jason
