Peter Lundberg Obituary

DEFIANCE - Peter M. Lundberg, age 73 of Defiance, peacefully passed away with his wife by his side on Sunday, July 30, 2023, at Kingsbury Place in Defiance, Ohio.

He was born on September 29, 1949, in Toledo, Ohio, and at three months adopted by the late Arthur and Helen (Mason) Lundberg in Defiance, Ohio. Pete proudly served our country in the U.S. Army from 1969 to 1972. On March 31, 1984, he married Nancy Zeisloft who survives.

Pete was a faithful member of St. Paul's United Methodist Church. His lifelong dedication and his love for serving the community of Defiance was evident through his many memberships and hours of service over the years. He was a Past President of Defiance Rotary and was a councilman for the City of Defiance. For several years he owned and operated a downtown restaurant Charlie's Down Under. Pete will be sadly missed by his wife, former colleagues and many good friends.

Pete is survived by his loving wife of 39 years, Nancy Lundberg of Defiance, three brothers-in-law and their wives, and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Helen Lundberg, and one sister.

A Celebration of Life Service for Pete will be held at a later date. Schaffer Funeral Home was honored to assist the family with arrangements.

Memorials in Pete's honor may be gifted to Rotary International Shelter Box. Online condolences can be given at www.Schafferfh.com.

My childhood memories are full of fun with my best friend Peter. I moved away and only saw him a few times in the last several decades, but I will never forget him and his folks. We were all one extended family. Love to him, his departed folks and all the people in those few blocks near the Fort Grounds in the 50s.
