Peter Lyons Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by DeGusipe Funeral Home & Crematory - R. Lee Williams Chapel on Mar. 14, 2026.
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Peter John Lyons, who transitioned to

the Lord peacefully on March 7, 2026 surrounded by his family. Through his journey of 80

years beginning in Liverpool, England, July 22, 1945, he touched many lives with his wisdom,

humor and an unwavering devotion to his family. He will be greatly missed and forever loved.

Peter is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Linda, children Sonia Hayes (Dan Hayes),

Stephen Lyons (Jodie Lyons), and grandchildren Garrett Hayes, Ethan Hayes, Oliver Lyons,

Elliott Lyons who were the lights of his life. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family

and all who mourn Peter's departure.

A memorial service celebrating Peter's exceptional life will be held on Saturday, March 21,

2026, at 10:00 AM at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Lake Mary, FL. We invite all who knew

and loved Peter to join us in honoring his memory.

In lieu of flowers, we encourage you to honor Peter by donning the color Red at his service to

celebrate his love and passion for Liverpool Football Club. This, we believe, would be the

best tribute to his extraordinary life.

A short reception will follow on site at Barge Hall following the ceremony.
