Peter Crist Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
In 1996, Pete returned to the University of Florida to teach Navy ROTC and earn his Master's Degree in Business Administration. His last active tour of duty was Diego Garcia before entering the Navy Reserves until retirement with 26 plus years. During his time serving his country, in the USN Reserves, Pete worked for ASEC in Maryland converting the P-3 mission to the P-8.
Pete's outgoing personality meant he never met a stranger and was loved by all who knew him. He was an avid NHS Eagle fan with season football tickets and loved to cheer on the Gators no matter the sport or that season's record. Both of his nieces share his love of the Gators and have continued the legacy of becoming Gators, too.
Pete was preceded in death by his father Richard A. Crist. He is survived by his mother Grace Crist, brother Robert Crist (Shawna) of Niceville, two nieces Claire Bible (Jay) and Carly Crist along with many close aunts, uncles and cousins. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project (Woundedwarriorproject.org) or a charity of your choice.
Services will be held at Heritage Gardens Funeral Home at 2201 Partin Dr N, Niceville FL 32578 on,Wednesday May 29, 2024, at 11:00 AM with visitation at 10:00 AM.
