Peter Jespersen Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Peter passed away peacefully on April 9 at Centra State Medical Center in Freehold. Peter would have celebrated his 63 birthday on April 20.
Peter was the fifth child of Charles and Virginia (Hamilton) Jespersen and younger brother to Chris and Brian, all of whom predeceased him. Peter's surviving siblings include Kevin Jespersen and his spouse Randee Matloff, Linda Carroll, Clair Sautner and her spouse Michael Sautner. Peter is also survived by his many nieces and nephews, in-law families, roommates and outstanding caregivers.
Peter lived in group homes in Bayonne and Jersey City and participated in work programs all sponsored by Hudson Milestones. Peter moved to a group home sponsored by AMIB (Association for the Multiple Impaired Blind, Inc.) in Freehold in 2019 and he participated in Day Services provided by Dungarvin New Jersey LLC.
Peter had been a Special Olympics participant and an avid bowler for many years. He enjoyed movies (the more violent the better), eating good food and especially people watching.

Dear Linda, Clair, Kevin, and Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences on Peter's passing. I was fortunate to meet Peter many times when Linda and I met in college and became very good friends many years ago. Peter was very sweet and always had a smile on his face when I was in his presence. Now, he is one of your very special guardian angels along with your parents and brothers who will watch over you from Heaven. I wish all of you God's comfort, strength, and peace in the days, weeks, and months ahead in this very difficult time in your lives. In this Easter season filled with new life, may Peter enjoy life in Heaven along with his deceased family members never forgetting his loved ones he left behind. Peter is missed but will always live on in our hearts. Peter and all of you are in my daily thoughts and prayers.
Love, Patricia Meluso
