Long Live Daddy Pete
Donation protected
This event will be dedicated to feeding and helping the homeless. All proceeds will go toward the cause.
A celebratory day with nutritious food, music, Chinese bodywork, showers, and other resources to best serve the needs of our unhoused neighbors seems most appropriate for upholding Daddy Pete's legacy! In lieu of a traditional memorial service, I have decided to pour love into others and honor my father's life with a day of positivity, wellness, and giving back.
"It's never the wrong time to do the right thing." - Daddy Pete
"See the good and bad, but focus on the good in others." - Daddy Pete
"Always judge others on their best qualities." - Daddy Pete
"Be careful what you laugh at, Yahweh has a sense of humor, and the same thing can one day make you cry." - Daddy Pete
"Be kind, because it's the way you should be." - Daddy Pete
"Love is the answer."- Daddy Pete
"All Power to the people!"- Daddy Pete
No matter the circumstances of his life, Peter was always quick to kindness, steadfast to his word, and prone to looking on the bright side. His life philosophy was an inspiration and model for those that knew him. In honor of his incredibly altruistic spirit, this event seeks to uplift the homeless community with which he shared the last part of his life.
Sometimes people make decisions that others may not agree with nor may they understand, that's okay. Some things are just not for everyone to understand or agree with. That does not, however, mean that we shouldn't help those people when we can. Understanding that this help may look more like momentary reprieves rather than radical transformations, helps to contextualize and respect the lives of others. Yet, it is these very small acts of kindness and generosity that in the aggregate create incremental transformations.
