Peter Colon Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born on August 28th, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York to Peter & Rosemarie Colon, Peter lived a life full of laughter. He was known for his generosity and sense of humor, and had a way of bringing light to any room he was in.
Over the years, Peter found joy in spending time with his family, cooking for his loved ones, and relaxing on the beach. He loved cooking his famous rice balls and entertaining those around him with his infectious personality.
Peter will be lovingly remembered by his two children, Peter and Olivia, and their mother, Joanna; his parents, Rosemarie and Peter Colon; his brothers, Michael (Tricia) Colon, John (Linda) Colon, and James (Liezl) Colon, as well as his beloved nieces and nephews.
A viewing will be held on August 17th, 2025 from 4-8pm at Cherubini-McInerney Funeral Home at 1289 Forest Ave, Staten Island, NY 10302, where we will gather to share stories, laughter, and memories. Mass will take place on August 18th, 2025 at 11am at Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Church at 1091 Forest Ave, Staten Island, NY 10310.
