Peter Schrubbe

Peter J. Schrubbe, a cherished resident of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, passed away suddenly on November 3, 2024, at the age of 68. Born in Milwaukee on July 25, 1956, Peter was a proud graduate of Wauwatosa East High School. He dedicated much of his career to his passion as a bicycle technician and was in the midst of building a hybrid recumbent bicycle. In recent years, he embraced a new path as a truck driver, having obtained his CDL.

Peter was an avid audiophile, with a particular love for jazz and classical music, and he took great pride in his extensive stereo system. His love for animals was evident in the care he provided to his four beloved dogs: Snooper, Jake, Luke, and Tessa. A committed member of the local Al-Anon community, Peter was also a faithful congregant of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Carol Schrubbe, his nephews, Patrick and Christopher Newman, and his brother-in-law, Kent Sutton. Peter is survived by his loving sisters, Lisa Sutton and Lora Newman, and was a devoted uncle to his nieces and nephews.

Peter's life was filled with moments of joy and kindness, leaving a lasting impact on those who knew him. A celebration of his life will be held on December 8, 2024, at Galilee Lutheran Church, N24W26430 Crestview Drive, Pewaukee, Wisconsin, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm in the lower level meeting room. The gathering will begin with a potluck at 4:30, followed by a time of reflection at 5:30.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to your favorite pet nonprofit organization in Peter's memory. May he be blessed and rest in peace.
