PETER SCHAEFFER Obituary



SCHAEFFER, PETER 24 - Unknown to us, but in the wisdom of his Heavenly Father, Peter completed his journey upon this earth and entered into the fullness of eternal life on September 24. A young man who was gifted as a musician, an artist, a writer and a lover of people, he had a tender heart, sensitive to God's movement in his life. Not unlike most of us, Peter had his struggles with life in a broken world and tried with his tender heart to cope with its ironies. That heart is not silenced, but continues to speak to those who have been and are yet to be touched by it. A bright light in his life is his daughter Summer, and his first love, Katie Lawrence. He is the beloved son of Andrew Schaeffer of Linwood and Judith Schaeffer of Egg Harbor Township and brother to Nicholas and Emily. A 2003 graduate of Mainland High School and active in the Christian community of Seaview Baptist Church, it is within that community that we will celebrate the gift of Peter's life on Friday evening, October 2 at 7:30pm worshipping the Lord who graced Peter with life. Friends may call beginning at 5:00pm. The church home is located at 2025 Shore Road in Linwood. Gifts of remembrance, in lieu of flowers, may be made to the Peter P. Schaeffer Memorial Fund to benefit his daughter Summer Haley Schaeffer Lawrence, c/o Edward Jones Investments, 69 Central Square, Linwood, NJ 08221. Interment will be at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to and condolences may be sent to the family at www.adams-perfect.com

Schaeffer family,

I am very sorry for your loss. Ever since the first day of highschool pete has been my best friend, and almost like a brother. He had always brought happiness and laughter along with him, and was always a great friend. Pete and katie were a huge help while i was in the hospital for my motorcycle accident, pete would arrive first thing in the morning and stay almost all night untill they made him leave,and it felt great to know i had a friend like that. I will always remember him and all the great times we had, i loved him like a brother and will miss him greatly.... REST IN PEACE and god bless
sincerly,

September 29, 2009

Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted. Blessing and peace that surpass all understanding.
