Chelle, Cody & Mason and the rest of the family: Im sorry for the loss of your beloved Pedro. I know words are of little comfort at this time, so take refuge in the memories and speak of him often. He was truly one of a kind, and will be forever missed by all that knew and loved him. Hugs for you all.

My deepest condolences to the family of my dear friend Pedro, Pedro was such a special person, a true friend for more than 20years. My heart just aches at the thought that he is gone- . He was a wonderful father that raised great children, and he was a friend that I could always count on. He was there for me in tough times and when no one else was there. He was more family to me than friend. I already miss him so much. There will never be anybody like him.

My heart truly goes out to all who feel the loss of Pedro. I have been praying for all of you. Pedro has been there for me when nobody else was and that seemed to be a lot up until recently. I've been around him at the top of my life while I was doing good and I've been around him while I'm at my absolute worst and he always was a true brother he made sure I ate food had clothes and talked to me and tried to help guide me when I was sick and lost and he let me know that he was there and he genuinely was always there for me people like that in this world I found are rare. I've cried with him and I've laughed with him and I can sit here and say things for days about him but in all reality I have never met anyone in my life like him or will I ever again.I miss you my brother and I love you with all my heart.
