Crist

Peter John Crist, 64, of Saxonburg, passed away on May 11, 2023, at his home.

Born May 20, 1958, in Chicago, Ill., he was the son of the late Walter Gerald Crist and Eleanor Boyle Crist.

Peter went on to college later in life and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, with a bachelor’s degree in engineering and a master’s degree in electrical engineering.

He worked as an electrical engineer for Emerson.

He was a member of Holy Sepulcher Roman Catholic Church.

Peter was a U.S. Navy veteran, serving from 1978 until 1987.

He helped design the Beacon Hotel’s haunted maze for many years, and he also was an avid pool and golf player.

Peter was a Chicago sports fan and a phenomenal cook. He loved his family, where he lived in the “sea of estrogen” with his wife and daughters. His biggest regret was not telling DirecTV the reason why he canceled, which is because they discontinued the Sunday Ticket.

Surviving are his loving wife, Susan Trautmann Crist, whom he married July 4, 1987; his daughters, Devon Crist (Joe) Norris, Emily Marie (Ken Jr.) Muller, Alexandria Crist and Laura Crist Kelly; his grandchildren, Charlotte Kelly, Connor Kelly and Avery Norris; his best friend and brother, Stephen Reese; and his siblings, Kathy Crist, Walter Kevin Crist, Mary Crist, Sean Crist, Erin Crist and Paul Crist.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Laura Bernadette Crist.
