Peter Marchiafava Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hultgren Funeral Home and Cremation Center - Wheaton on Dec. 15, 2025.
Peter Giovanni Marchiafava (little Pete) was born on December 6, 2025, at 5:33 p.m. Though he never took a breath on this earth, his life is immeasurably precious.

Peter was lovingly held in his father's arms, where his final heartbeats were felt just minutes after his birth-quiet, sacred moments in which he was known, cherished, and deeply loved. His soul now rests peacefully in Heaven, held in eternal love alongside his nonno, Peter Lawerence Marchiafava, and his cousin, Christian John Schott.

Peter is deeply loved by his parents, Peter and Sharon Marchiafava. He is cherished by his maternal grandparents, John and Hye Suk Robb; his paternal nonna, Giovanna Marchiafava; and his aunts and uncles, Adriana and Dirk Ollech, Lisa and Larry Merkel, Jenney and Will Schott, and Michael and Meghan Spatola. He is also lovingly remembered by his cousins Kurt, Erika and Elianna Ollech, Lucas Merkel, Hannah Ollech, Logan Merkel, Olivia Merkel, and Ayden Schott, as well as many other family members and dear friends of his parents who hold Peter close in their hearts.

Though his time on earth was brief, little Pete's life has forever changed the hearts of those who love him, and his spirit will always be held in memory, love, and hope.
