So incredibly heartbreaking. He was a school friend of mine and was one of the nicest guys I've ever met. I am so sorry.

My deepest and most heartfelt sympathies for Peter´s family, friends, and his fiancé. Though I haven´t seen him in over 15 years, Pete had a lasting impact on me & my life, and brought me a whole lot of joy. What a beautiful soul he was, absolutely one in a billion, and it was heartbreaking to learn of his passing. Healing prayers and energy to all who loved him.

To the Zawodzinski Family, Peter and I worked together at AMR, we only worked together several times but hit it off immediately, I always ask my partner what their goals are for life, I am only per diem as Paramedic and work full time as a ER Nurse. Peter´s goal was a PA, I kept on pushing him to do that, I have some connections with the the local PA´s programs and said give this guy a interview he got what it takes to be a great PA. He would consistently text me his grades and let me know how good he is doing in the program. We were getting excited because in the near future he would be doing clinical at Suburban. I felt like the proud father. God only knows why he took him so early but must have been needed more in heaven. Rest In Peace my friend until we meet again.
