Peter Gilkerson Obituary

On October 8, 2024, Peter Nicolas "Nick" Gilkerson, 29, left this earth too soon, following a valiant battle with cancer. Born April 28th, 1995, to Laura Neavitt and Glen Gilkerson, Nick graduated from Canyon del Oro high School in 2013 and received his B.A. from the University of Arizona Eller College of Business in 2017. Nick was a kind, thoughtful, funny, bright, successful young man who brought a special light to all who knew him. He was a loyal and valued friend to many. He is survived by his mother, Laura Neavitt, his beloved partner Charlotte Brice, his dog Moose, aunts, uncles, cousins and countless friends. His passing has left a void in the hearts of many and he will be missed greatly. A celebration of Nick's life will be held on Friday, November 29, from 4:00-8:00 p.m. at the San Pedro chapel, 5230 E. Ft. Lowell Road in Tucson.

My condolences to all Nicks family & friends. Heart breaking. Only met Nick a few times. But he was such a genuine, lovely guy. He made my niece Charlotte very happy. Thank you Nick. ( Love Charlottes, Auntie Steph.)
