Peter Lydon Sheeran
Peter Lydon Sheeran, 59, of Charlottesville, Virginia, and Elbow Cay, Bahamas, died unexpectedly on Tuesday, March 30, 2010, in Roanoke, Virginia.
Peter was the son of Archibald D. Sheeran M.D. and Betty J. Sheeran of Princeton, New Jersey.
Peter leaves behind his loving wife of 35 years, Donna K. Sheeran; and two sons, Peter L. Sheeran Jr. of New York City, a trader at Paloma Partners; and Daniel P. Sheeran of Charlottesville, Virginia, a medical student at the University of Virginia.
Peter was born in New York City and raised in Princeton, New Jersey. He has resided in Charlottesville for over 30 years, where he was principal of Sheeran Architects, AIA.
Peter leaves behind a large family, including his sister, Patricia Sheeran and her husband, David Lauretti, of Bloomfield, Connecticut; Thomas Sheeran and his wife, Jeniah Johnson, of Princeton, New Jersey; Lisa Sheeran of Hercules, California; Virginia and Nick Serio of Ogdensburg, New York; and Joseph Sheeran of Hercules, California. He will also be missed by his brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and mother-in-law, Margaret Kreger.
A graduate of Bucknell University, Peter earned the Phi Beta Kappa prize for Studio Art; subsequently, Peter received his advanced degree in Architecture from the University of Virginia in 1976. A gifted architect, he was renowned throughout the region for his creative and innovative commercial and residential designs.
Peter lived life with joy and passion; he loved designing, flying, fishing, motorcycling, photography and, most especially, spending time with his family. Peter was inseparable from his wife and boys. His legacy will live on in the beautiful buildings he designed and in the hearts of his family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. I had many wonderful conversations with Peter in the Queen Charlotte Square parking lot. What a wonderful man.

D,P,D,
Not putting that first "P" there is heart wrenching. So many fun, funny, sweet memories have swirled around my head for the past week, as I'm sure they have for anyone who was lucky enough to know Peter. He was so, so fortunate to have a wife and 2 sons who love him so much and who he loved in return. He will always be safely in your hearts and memories.
Love,
Laurel

My heart and prayers to your family. I was an Air Traffic Controller in Charlottesville until 2005 and enjoyed working with Peter. His professionalism and friendliness were always a bright spot in my day.

Dearest Donna, Peter and Daniel,
Words are not adequate to describe the sadness we feel at the loss of Peter. So many thoughts, memories of the times...Tucker, Phil Raymond, Bill Kahn flying up with Peter to Atlantic City in a horrible storm. Tucker says he was the MOST competent pilot he had flown with. Each time we walk into the office building of Tucker, Griffin , Barnes that Peter designed, we will think of him. He will leave a huge hole in our lives...seeing his sweet smile...but...

Dear Donnna and family,
We were so sorry to hear of Peter's untimely death.
As you know, Peter designed the house we have loved living in for the last 23 years. His youthful joy and creativity gave us great pleasure and somehow, seems embedded in our home.
Just a while ago, Peter told me with pride about his sons' plans for the future.
Our prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
Frank and Susie Taylor
