Peter Nervo Obituary
Peter A. Nervo, 75, of Massillon, Ohio, passed away suddenly on January 28, 2025. He was born on June 8, 1949 in Massillon, to the late John and Carmen Nervo.
Peter was one of the founding members of La Flavour, playing guitar, saxophone, and keyboard, as well as some vocal work. When Peter and his twin brother Steve were 16, the band began after watching the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. Both were inspired to play music for a living, and were lucky enough to do that for 60 years. Peter was a kind, generous, and loving man. He enjoyed being around people performing and socializing, and was truly happy while on stage.
In addition to his parents, Peter was preceded in death by his siblings, Ray Valles, Della Hattery, and John Nervo.
Peter is survived by his brother, Stephen (Michelle) Nervo; and his sister, Carmella Warth.
To honor Peter's wishes, no services will be held.
