"The raddest Dad. Talented and creative musician. Loyal and compassionate friend. Self-proclaimed comedian who just didn't get his "break" yet. :)"
Pete Maturi was a passionate, creative, driven soul who was loved by so many people. He was a strong, hard-working and intelligent man, incredible father; bold and sarcastic, he possessed a dark sense of humor, and he loved to make people laugh. His personality was huge and he was one of the most loving and compassionate men I’ve ever met; he was definitely a great husband.
Whatever he put his mind to, he made it happen and Pete accomplished a lot of things in his short life. As a teen, Pete taught himself to play instruments (drums, guitar, bass) all by ear, and turned out to be an incredible musician who created his own unique sound. His bands, Swarm of the Lotus (1998-2010) and Graven (2010-2019) were a huge part of his life for many years, where he accomplished a few personal music goals and was an integral part of creating some great albums that will live on. Music was medicinal for Pete, and it showed in his passion for it.
It’s hard to put such a big personality into words, but Pete left an impression on everyone who knew him and he will never be forgotten by those who love him. He gave me the gift of our daughter, in which he will always live and we will never let his spirit die in our hearts.
