Pete Perea Obituary

Pete Ronald Perea (Ronnie)

1952-2025

Born on July 1, 1952, to Pete and Stella Perea in Price, Utah. He moved on to his new adventure on November 20, 2025.

Pete graduated from Carbon High in 1970. He met his soul mate in 1975. Pete and Peggy have spent the last 48 years in wedded bliss.

Most of Pete's life, he was a heavy equipment operator for the Operating Engineers Local #3, and you couldn't have a chat without hearing about it. He was famously known for his attention-grabbing mustache and smile. He loved the outdoors and all that came with it. He was a jack of all trades and there was nothing he couldn't figure out. Pete was always willing to jump in and lend a helping hand. He was often found playing pool and darts at the local Eagles Club. In his later years, you could find him at home enjoying quiet days with his wife working on his puzzles and crafts in his man cave along with his baby girl, Cupcake.

Papa, you will forever be missed but we know you are on that mountain side with Bigfoot and on that spaceship with the aliens enjoying this great new adventure!

Survived by his wife Peggy, children Jessica (Daniel), Jason (Maciel), JoAnn (Mathew), and siblings Richard, Ralph, Gary (Irene).

Preceded in death by his parents Pete and Stella, Sister Patricia, and in-laws Jose and Edna.

There was a small private service as per his wishes. A celebration of life will be held at a later time.
