THE JUNEAU EMPIRE
Peter D. Guerrero

Former Juneau resident Peter Douglas Guerrero of Knik River died April 19, 2001, in Seattle. He was 59.

He was born July 11, 1941, in Juneau. He was proud to be a Tlingit Eagle. One of his favorite jobs was working on his uncle Tom's farm in Seattle and selling the produce at Pike's Place Market. He loved fishing in Southeast Alaska and his favorite place in rough water was the crow's nest. He was a good cook and always shared his food with family and friends. He loved the outdoors and Alaska's beauty. He spent many nights watching the Northern Lights and satellites.

He never passed up a chance to go dipnetting or berry-picking with his friend Laura.

His family wrote: Pete will be remembered for his kindness and generosity. He made other's lives brighter by his sense of humor. He always left us with something to laugh about.

He was preceded in death by his father Peter Guerrero.

He is survived by his mother, Martha Jackson, and brother Royal (and Joanne) Jackson of Kake; sisters Janet (and Irving) Sheldon and Cathy (and David) Friday of Kake, Darlene Billingsley of Seattle, Charlene Grant of Petersburg; sons Tony (and Lori) Guerrero and Rick (and Trish) Guerrero of Seattle, Chad Guerrero of Juneau, daughter Lilly (and Pete) Gaines of Seattle; and the one he was closest to most, his lady friend Laura Toots of the Mat-Su valleys; also many aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces and grandchildren; his extended family in Palmer and many friends.

A memorial service will be 7 p.m. Thursday at Glacier Valley Church of God. The funeral service will be noon Friday at Glacier Valley Church of God with burial to follow in Evergreen Cemetery.
