PEIK IRGENS LARSEN

hi dad miss you alot

My dear friend, Peik. How I still think of you, miss you and love you so very much. I had searched Facebook for you for so many years, as the last time I was blessed with your company was in 1992 in Colorado. From the first day that we met,at gymnastics camp and became instant friends, you meant the world to me... and that will never change. You made my life so much better just by being a part of it. I love you for eternity, Tracy Shuda-Bugaring

I am so sorry for your loss and my prayers are with your family. - neighbor

Peik and I shared a course on Modern China a few years back. We were both in the History Education program at Lesley. Very sorry to hear of his sudden passing. Sending continued prayers and best wishes to Peik's family and friends.

R. I P. Mr. Larsen. He was my teacher last year and he was a really fun teacher. He was chill and made us laugh most of the time. He made everyone happy for school. My school just told us who the teacher was. We figured out during the summer that a teacher died. But we got told today it was Mr. Larsen. Just knowing that he isnt with us anymore feels empty a little in the inside. But my prayers go to his family.

Dear Larsen Family,

My mother called me today when she saw the wonderful write up about Peik in the Boston Globe and I am so shocked and saddened by this news. I have so many memories of the Larsen family from my days at Mass. Gymnastics Center (in particular, Kari, Siri, Anika, Britta and Nissa). I can picture Peik (although we called him Paige??) so clearly on the rings. He was all muscle and so strong. He was always friendly and nice to everyone at the gym. That was 25-30 years ago. Remarkably, I was walking home from work about 6 years ago and someone on the sidewalk called out my name. It was Peik - and it turned out we lived next door to each other in Garden Court in Cambridge. He recognized me after 25 years. We spent a lot of time catching up and it was great to hear about all the Larsen girls (and I am very impressed at where all of you landed - Broadway, for instance!?). Peik took me around the corner to the family house on Garden Street and showed me around and showed me that old news article that was hanging in your foyer on your family. It brought back so many memories. It was fun to have someone from my past next door and we bumped into each other regularly. The last time I saw Peik, he told me he and his wife were having twins and they were moving to Belmont. We remarked how he was moving to the town I grew up in and I was established in his hometown. I feel blessed that Peik popped back into my life for a moment to remind me of him before he left (to early). I am thinking of all of you and know that the Larsen family will always be strong.

May God bless you and your family on this moment of sorrow RIP

May God bless his family and friends.He will never be forget.

I'm so sorry to hear that Peik passed away. I went to high school with Peik. Although I hadn't seen him for many years I will always remember what a good hearted and warm soul he was. This obituary described him so well, spoke to what he was truly. My condolences to the Larsens and his wife and two young sons, what a terrible loss for them especially.

On behalf of the Board and staff of Cambridge Family and Children's Service we extend our deepest sympathy for your loss

May Peik rest in peace. New of his passing brings so much sadness but memories of our working together will bring smile in my heart.
My sincere condolences to his family.

I am incredibly sorry for your loss. Peik's kind, warm smile and sincere hello at preschool drop-off made an impression upon me when I first moved back from San Francisco a few years ago. We were new to the Belmont Coop preschool community and I kept thinking he had this welcoming "west coast" vibe. He and Emi's true kindness was confirmed when I got to know them better last summer when his beautiful boys did summer camp with me. They loved their Daddy and would run into his arms when he would pick them up each day. Peik's passing is a deep loss for everyone who was lucky to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To the family of Peik Larsen . Please know I am thinking of you and
Mourning with you the tremendous loss of this wonderful young man , your son, Your brother and friend to so many in the community. He was an inspiration to us all.
With love and affection, Judy Summersby

I never met you beautiful man. I wish that I had. Rest in Peace Friend.

Peik was an incredibly enthusiastic, encouraging, and positive individual and leader. He was our kind father figure in the gymnasium when I first started training for gymnastics. He had this fighting attitude that he instilled upon me and my teammates - "Don't give up. You got this." He will forever be in my heart. He has changed me in so many ways - taught me to be confident, to be a leader. I am saddened, but blessed to have had an opportunity to know and work with such an individual. I want Peik's family to know that he touched many of us in the West Coast and made an incredible impact and we'll never forget him.

My heart goes out to all the family and friends trying to comprehend this huge loss. May you all continue in the years ahead to tell the stories and share the memories of Peik, especially for his young sons.

I never knew you, but wish I did after reading your amazing obituary. Sincere sympathy to Emi and the children,
Flo from Quilters

The world was brighter with him in it and is now dimmer with his passing. We miss him so much.

So Very Sad of his passing as a fellow CoWorker and friend he will be so very missed. Still so shocking and can't believe he is gone . My Best to the family , and if there is anything that I can do please let me know

It is with great sadness when I heard Peik Larsen had passed away. He was a great mentor at Jetblue Airways as we ventured this new airline into Boston. My deepest condolences to Peik's wife and children and to Peik's entire family. May you all find peace knowing Peik was loved by many. God Bless you Peik, will always remember you back in the day.

Very sad! He was a great man. We will miss his smile at our Kendall Square office.

Though I did not know Peik, he sounds like a fantastic human being.
My sincere sympathies to you and your family.

What a wonderful, happy young man. I remember Peik fondly as a true friend to my children and their friends. My warmest and deepest regars to all those who knew this loving person.

In great sadness and sorrow I offer my sincere condolences to the entire Larsen family. Peik certainly had the Larsen zest for life ! His sons will carry on his famous hugs and laughter ! May the Larsens all remember the joy from your recent Nantucket family reunion to help support you through these very difficult times. Bless you Peik!
Peace and love,

I hadn't seen Peik since my Mass. Gymnastics Days, but I am shocked and saddened by this loss.

Peik, we will keep you in our hearts & let your smile light our way. You are all in our thoughts & prayers as we try daily to wrap our minds around this tragedy. This obituary says it all.

Peik was at the Jet Blue gate for one of my trips from Boston to Oakland to see family (part the CRLS family - a big tribe with strong traditions). He spied me, said, "Mom, we are going to take very good care of you!" He gave me three seats across in the back and gave me cards so that I could watch the three televisions all at the same time, for free. Best flight I ever had. I fell in love with his energy and kindness and for giving me the "Mom" tribal honorific. What a great guy...how deeply we will all miss him.

Region 6 men's gymnastics will miss you.

Peril had the highest gheinger (release move on high bar). A classic of region 6 men's gymnastics. We was looked up to by many.

Peik you will be missed and I am in complete shock to hear that you passed....my thoughts and prayers to your family

Peik you will be missed and I am in complete shock to hear that you passed....my thoughts and prayers to your family

To the Larsen Family, we offer our condolences. I am Kirsten's mother from MGC. I remember Peik and that even as a kid he had that same warmth, kindness and exuberance for life that is mentioned above(obituary).

we were all very lucky to have Peik in our lives for his short time on earth. We worked together at JetBlue. Still remember his smile and big hugs. My thoughts and prayers to his family. Rest in Peace sweet Peik.
