Peter M. Schaffer, born on March 22, 1959, departed this life on February 3, 2026. He was a cherished individual whose passion for fishing reflected his love for the great outdoors and the tranquility it provided. Peter's spirit was as vast as the waters he loved to explore.

He is mourned by his beloved family, including his stepson, Jason (Andrea) Harrison. Peter was a devoted grandfather who embraced the joys and responsibilities that came with his role. He was the son of Waldon Schaffer, who continues to cherish Peter's memory. Peter will also be remembered fondly by his siblings, Mark Schaffer, Randy Schaffer (Phyllis), and Holly Alvarado (Ronald), along with his nieces and nephews, who were touched by his warmth and kindness.

Peter is preceded in death by his mother, Joyce Schaffer, who surely awaits him with open arms. His legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew him, especially through the stories shared and the memories made during countless fishing trips and family gatherings.

As we remember Peter M. Schaffer, we celebrate a life that was rich in love, family connections, and the simple joys that fishing brought him. He will be missed dearly but never forgotten.
