Peter Dettmer Obituary

Peter "Pete" Guy (Thorne) Dettmer passed away peacefully with his family by his side on April 13, 2024 in Fresno, CA at the age of 81.

Pete is survived by his beloved wife, Lynda Dettmer, brother, Art Thorne and four children, Tammy Adams, Ronnie Dettmer and wife Maureen, Tracy Dettmer and Teresa Dettmer as well as his 7 grandchildren, Daniel, AJ, Mitchel, Billy, Emily, Sienna and Forrest. Uncle to 6 nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by his younger brother, Carl Thorne.

Pete was born on January 29, 1943 in England to Percy Dettmer (Father) and Jean Booth (Mother).

His wife and children remember him as a loving father, loyal to his family, man of his word, hardworking, and a man of adventure who loved racing, fishing, the outdoors and various hobbies. He will be remembered by all for his witty sense of humor, his willingness to help a friend in need and for the many laughs he provided through his sarcastic nature.
