Peter is survived by his beloved brother, Christopher Guttilla, his sister-in-law Melissa Guttilla, and his cherished nieces, Gracyn and Paige. He was preceded in death by his loving parents, Rita and Nicholas Guttilla.

He was also a proud boat owner, spending countless summer weekends exploring the harbors along Lake Michigan accompanied by his loyal golden retriever, Jack.

Peter's life was marked by his love for family, his passion for the outdoors, and his dedication to his craft. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
