Peter Hamilton, beloved son, brother, partner, and friend, passed away on September 28, 2025, at the age of 67. Born on September 20, 1958, he was the son of Kathleen Degel and William Hamilton, and the cherished brother of Terri Lambdin.

Peter was the devoted boyfriend of Gail O'Connor, with whom he shared a deep and meaningful love. Though they often found themselves on opposite ends of the spectrum, their bond was one of balance, laughter, and unwavering devotion. Together, they built a love rooted in acceptance and admiration.

Known for his generous spirit and compassionate heart, Peter was a giver in every sense of the word. He loved helping people, whether by lending a hand, offering kind words, or fixing the things that others couldn't. His ability to care so deeply for others was one of his greatest gifts, and he will forever be remembered as a hero to those who knew him best.

As we reflect on his life, we are reminded of the bittersweet truth that so often, it is only after someone has passed that we see just how deeply they were loved and admired. Peter's life was proof of this love-he touched countless hearts with his kindness, strength, and quiet heroism.

He will be missed beyond measure, and his memory will live on in the hearts of his family, his friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Albert and I are devastated about Pete´s passing. The only thing getting us through losing him is knowing he is now back with Jackie "the love of his life" in heaven!

He cared about everyone else so much more and never about himself. Pete was the kindest and most giving person anyone could have known. He gave his heart to everyone and never asked for anything in return. We are blessed for knowing him for 50 + years. Now he is back with Jackie and that will give us peace and closure. Our hearts are broken Love you Pete and will miss you forever......
