Peter Fasolo Obituary

Fasolo Peter Age 63, of Philadelphia, PA, passed away on August 24, 2025, after a short battle with brain cancer. He is survived by his parents, Anthony V. and Anna (née Flick) Fasolo; sister, Grace (Bob) Malacrida; brother, Tom (Roberta) Fasolo; aunt, Vivian (David) Nelson; niece, Rebecca Fasolo (fiancé Jake Brown); nephews, Anthony Malacrida (partner Anna Boyce) and Luca Fasolo; and many dear friends. He was preceded in death by his nephew, AJ Malacrida. Peter was born on January 25, 1962 in Wurzburg, Germany. A 1980 graduate of Palmyra Area Senior High, he earned his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Drexel University in 1993. He also received a bachelor's and a master's degree in engineering from Drexel. In 1985 he was elected to the prestigious engineering honor society, Tau Beta Pi, Zeta chapter. For many years, Peter was a math tutor for Drexel students and was known as Dr. Pete Sounds when pursuing his love of music as a DJ for Drexel radio station WKDU, on podcasts, and at music venues around Philadelphia. An avid bicycle rider, he loved camping, swimming, watching the pink blooms in spring, and taking photographs of the scenery around the city. A Memorial Service will be announced at a later date. Contributions, in lieu of flowers, can be made to the American Cancer Society, 1818 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103. monti-ragofuneralhome.com

"We never had the chance to know Peter, but we know how deeply he was loved by those who did. Seeing the grief and love on Facebook speaks to the kind of person he must have been. Our heart goes out to you, and we hope you find some comfort in the love that surrounds you today. Please know we are keeping you and your family in our thoughts."

Although I only met Pete in person once, a party at my house, we had a wonderful facebook relationship (as stupid as that sounds, I know) and commented back forth a lot, mostly in the form of puns, an area where he was quite adept. He was truly passionate about music and of course his DJ programs. I will miss our interaction most certainly. May God bless you, Pete Sounds.

I never had the privilege of meeting Pete, but I am a neighbor of his parents and know them to be truly wonderful people. I´ve heard such great stories about him, and I also feel a special connection since my own son attends Drexel University and lives in Philadelphia. I wish I could have met Pete. Please accept my heartfelt condolences to Tony, Anna, and the rest of the family during this difficult time.

Although I never met this man, he was a CLOSE FRIEND to my partner DARREN FINIZIO whom he had shared GREAT MEMORIES WITH during the LOCAL PHILLYMUSIC SCENE from the 80s to the 2000s.

He will be WELL MISSED and MAY GOD TAKE HIM to his HOME.
