Peter Christian Lund

On November 24, 2025, Peter Christian Lund 94, of Waldorf, MD passed away peacefully at home. Peter was born in Takoma Park, MD on February 14, 1931, to the late Axel Peter Lund and Mary Evelyn (Marquis) Lund, and raised in Clinton, Maryland. He married the former Betty Louise Snyder of Clinton, Maryland, and raised three children there.

Peter was a Korean War Era Veteran, honorably serving in the US Navy as a "SeaBee", an electrician in the construction battalion serving in foreign ports. Later in life he returned to federal service as a power plant electrician at the Pentagon heating plant. He is most well known in Southern Maryland as a long-time small businessman throughout his lifetime, owning a Gulf service station in Clinton, a recreational vehicle dealership in Clinton, a truck cap business in Brandywine, and as a farmer's market vendor selling fruits, vegetables, and flowers in Northern Virginia.

Peter is survived by his daughter (Anita) Louise Lund. Peter was predeceased by his parents as well as his beloved wife Betty Louise Snyder Lund, son Mark Christian Lund, and daughter Karen Christina Lund (Matthew Barton).

Peter was personable, kind, and generous, and always enjoyed sharing a joke and telling a story. He was devoted to his immediate and extended family and enjoyed spending time with a wide cadre of friends, especially roaming around all of his favorite places in Southern Maryland. He was an avid gardener, loyal baseball fan, and a history buff, with his favorite topics being the civil war, the old west, Southern Maryland history, and genealogy. He was also very active in the American Legion most of his adult life, considering them his "second family".

On Friday, January 9, 2026, the family will receive friends for the visitation from 5:00pm to 7:00pm with a prayer service beginning at 7:00 pm at Brinsfield Funeral Home & Crematory, 30195 Three Notch Rd., Charlotte Hall, MD 20622.
