Peter Logefeil Obituary

LOGEFEIL, Peter David June 22, 1958 - June 27, 2014 Peter David Logefeil died on Friday, June 27, in the UC Davis Burn Center in Sacramento. He was 56. Born in Richmond and raised in Sacramento, he lived in Davis the last 15 years where he washed windows for A Touch of Glass. He loved Davis, which he called "Mayberry," and enjoyed meeting the clients he met through his job. Music was central to Pete's life. He played the flute, piano and drums, often jamming with friends - some going as far back as elementary school. Pete's friends tended to last a lifetime and there were many. He was also an accomplished artist and songwriter, a great storyteller, and a very funny and tender-hearted man. Though Pete's cause of death was from burn injuries suffered in a fire, the underlying cause was alcoholism which he battled all his life. He is survived by his two sisters, Diane Lauro of Davis and Judy Teater of Rocklin. His nieces and nephews, who all loved "Uncle Pete", are Amy Logefeil; Sarah, Jesse and Elizabeth Lauro; and Danny and Rachel Teater. We miss him already. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, July 19, at Curtis Park Neighborhood Center - Sierra 2 in Sacramento from 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.

Peteo-I know the last ten years have been a blessing I will always carry close to my heart. I'll be forever greatful for the lifelong friendship we have shared. Today was bittersweet spent with your family and dear friends saying good bye. Until we met again, I'll love you forever. Jack.

Rest in peace my old Friend Peto. May the Lord welcome you with open arms. I'm posting a picture I drew for him. I have a copy and he had a copy. The picture always reminded us of each other. He wrote the poem that is written on the picture. We were children in love. He once dedicated to me Elton John's song "Your Song", and tho I had not seen him in many years, I still feel the sadness of losing a childhood friend. I am grateful to have a copy of many of his poems. I wrote a novel once and he was a character called the "Lonesome Poet". One of his favorite singers was John Prine, and he loved to sing "Hello In There". My heart goes out to his family and friends.
