Peter Mauritz Obituary
Peter Dennis Mauritz, 61, of Milford, so beloved by his large and extended family and friends, died unexpectedly on June 4, 2021, with his Life Partner, Marie Diven, and children Nick, Tim and Kaitlyn, by his side.
Born in Bridgeport on November 15, 1959, to Nancy (Haushill) and the late Richard Mauritz, Peter grew up in Trumbull and Fairfield, attending St. Catherine of Siena and Fairfield Preparatory Schools, where his love of sports fueled a football career spanning both high school and college. A Defensive Tackle on Bucknell University's Football Team, he long held a top spot for career sacks, graduating with a Civil Engineering Degree in 1981.
With 40 years of experience specializing in the design, construction and management of large-scale transportation-related projects, Peter's efforts as a Senior Design and Project Manager for AECOM andParsons Corp. helped realize notable projects in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada and Africa, including work on The World Trade Center Station.
He was a devoted family man, coaching his own children to love sports and life as he did. He was a staunch supporter of St. Mary's Church, Board Member of The Deerfield Av. Improvement Assoc., the protection of the Long Island Sound which he loved and cherished, and more.
In addition to his mother, Life partner and children, he is survived by his daughters-in-law Alina and Hadley; grandchildren Nicholas and Theo, with two more on their way. His siblings and in-laws: Monique and John Jacobs, Nicole and Scott Daly, Donald and Deb and Michael and Kim Mauritz, CJ and Anna Diven; 11 Godchildren, nieces, nephews, and countless dear friends who shared Peter's love of life and The Sound and mourn the passing of an amazing and generous spirit.
Family and friends may gather on Friday, June 11, 2021 from 3-5 p.m. and again from 6-8 p.m. at the CODY-WHITE FUNERAL HOME, 107 BROAD ST., MILFORD. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Saturday at 11 a.m. at St. Mary's Church (Precious Blood Parish), 70 Gulf Street, Milford (MEET DIRECTLY AT CHURCH).

Pete was a (one year older) team member of mine at Bucknell and a brother at Fiji. He was a very nice man, funny! When I picture him in my mind, all I have is good thoughts. The world was a better place with him in it.

To Peter's Family and Friends,
I've only known Peter for a short time, and I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, but I can say that Peter was the kind of person that you knew right away you would enjoy spending time with and getting to know. My interaction with Peter as colleagues at work was exactly as anyone could ever want. Peter was a consummate professional and in the short time we worked together I came to respect him and like him immensely.
I pray that God fill your hearts with peace at this difficult time. May you be filled with memories of wonderful times together.
Warmest Condolences,
Paul Belella

That’s an unexpected death! Peter was a great human being. I worked directly with him on many signature projects including Calatrava ground zero project. Surely he will be missed by many. Rest In Peace up there my dear friend Peter. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
