<div>In Loving Memory of Peter Lee Nelson
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pete passed away unexpectedly on July 4, 2025, after living with heart problems in recent years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Born on January 27, 1977, in Schaumburg, Illinois. Pete was a caring brother and loving father. He was known for his infectious smile, boundless kindness, and his ever-ready sense of humor. He always had a joke to share. Pete loved the ocean, especially all the memorable family trips to Captiva, Florida. Pete cherished time with his kids; hanging out, being silly, and enjoying all the activities they loved together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pete is survived by his children Hayden, Conrad, and Kennedy; their mother Lauren; his brothers Matt and Scott; his sister-in-law Jen; and his step-siblings and their spouses: Kristi and Jay Schroeder, Karl and Sue Erickson, and David Erickson.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pete is also survived by his nieces and nephews: Stephanie, Baylee, Megan, Matthew, Andrew, and Michael. Each of whom held a special place in his heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He also leaves behind extended family, dear friends, and a legacy of love and memories that will live on through the many lives he touched.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pete was preceded in death by his mother, Joanne Nelson; father, Ernest Nelson; and stepmother, Nancy Nelson; as well as the family’s beloved four-legged companions, Buddy and Bear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pete’s body has been cremated. A memorial service will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, July 25, at St. Julian Eymard, 601 Biesterfield Rd, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A private burial of his remains will take place at Evergreen Cemetery in Barrington, IL, following the service.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund will be established in Pete’s honor to help support his family and celebrate his life and legacy.
</div>

<div>“Gone too soon, but we loved you enough for a lifetime.” — Unknown
