Peter "Pete" Banaszewski, 53 years old, of Queen Creek, Arizona, passed away on 5/17/25, surrounded by his loving mother and sister.

Pete was born February 23 rd, 1972, in Minnesota, the son of parents, David and Sherry Banaszewski.

Pete was a skilled electrical estimator for more than 20 years. A profession that he was taught and mentored in by his father. He often reminisced of the decades that he worked with his dad as the most rewarding working years of his life with his best friend.

Pete loved working on cars, watching NFL football, spending time with close friends and listening to heavy metal music. He had a sharp sarcastic wit and cared deeply for his children, family and friends. Although his sarcasm could present as a crusty, tough exterior, he had a huge heart, great sense of humor and felt deeply for those he loved.

Remaining to cherish Pete's memory are his children, Kelsey and Michael, mother, Sherry and sister, Kristin.

Preceding Pete in death is his beloved father, David Banaszewski.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at 11am at San Tan Mountain View Funeral Home, 21809 Ellsworth Rd, Queen Creek, AZ, 85142.
