Found his peace on February 4, 2021, at age 54. Loving son of the late John and the late Carol. Dear brother of Johnny Sipek, Stephen (Mary) Sipek, Raymond (Laurie) Sipek and Elizabeth (Greg) Martin. Devoted soulmate to his fiancee Jean Stanley. Caring uncle of Michael and Anna Sipek. Also loved by his loyal companion Remy, other family members and friends.

 

Pete went to St. Jude grade school and then went on to graduate from Wauwatosa West High School in 1984. He worked at Central File  for 15 years until it was sold in 2017. This was very hard on him as he considered the staff as his second family.

 

He loved hunting and fishing with his brothers, and took many trips with friends too! Reeling in that 50” Musky!!  Pete was the creator of Stupid Fest, which was a wild and crazy outdoor party filled with 100’s of friends. Pete was a “rocker dude,” jamming to band like Metallica, Kiss, Sammy Hagar and more.

 

Pete and Jean were friends since high school and found each others love in 2017. They were true soulmates and “finally found the love of a lifetime.” Engaged in June of 2020, they planned to marry in 2021.

 

Pete was the most caring, giving kind hearted man! Sadly, this was cut short. He was diagnosed December 28, 2018, with pancreatic cancer. He was given four to six months to live with conventional medicine. This didn’t sit well with him, so he began integrative cancer treatment with New Hope Unlimited in San Luis, Mexico. He was doing great after the first trip, so doctors advised he go back. He made a total of three trips to Mexico, but began having complications that tired his body out. He fought hard and never gave up. He was an inspiration to all. He loved life. And he loved and adored his fiancee Jean, his brothers, family, and his many, many friends, and of course, his beloved fur baby Remy.

 

The family would like to thank The Froedtert Cancer Center, his team of doctors, therapists and staff who helped ease his pain throughout his journey. Also, special thanks to the staff at Lawlis Family Hospice and Horizon Hospice.

Rest peacefully my friend. Thank you for the many delightful conversations we had through the years at Anytime Fitness. I use to look forward to you coming in to work out but most times you would be in my office talking instead of the work out. I remember that smile. Condolences, Prayers & love to all Pete’s family and friends. God Bless

Hi Pete, Hi Jean, Hi Johnny, Steve, Ray, & Liz, I know you(except Jean of course) all from childhood. There were Toilet Bowl games at Thanksgiving, The rounds of homes to appreciate how straight the tinsel hung on the well decorated natural trees of the Sipek clan, Grandma Sipek claiming she might not be around for another Christmas, And always the treks UP NORTH to fish. We lost touch it seems when Fr. Joe left the Priesthood. He was a glue that was holding the clan together. Death and the funerals and our return to the Milwaukee area brought us back in touch. It has been good to get to know you all again. Hans was determined to make up for the lost years at the end. Pete, Thanks for hanging in there. It's been a rough trip the past year but we will continue. My love to all of you.

Rest in Peace Pete I was so glad to talk to you three weeks ago on the phone, to say how much everyone loved him, he was so fun, kind and caring man. For the family I am sorry for your loss, and Jean you sure were an inspiration to Pete, thank you for all you did for him. I sent a card to the family.

The true epitome of "work hard - play hard". As dedicated to his work as he was to his family and friends. Guess that is why the closing of CF hurt him so much. It wasn't a job.. it was family. But Pete was blessed with a strong family and lifelong friendships. There are no coincidences in God's world and hence the reason Jean's path and his were to meant to cross. When they did. We should all love someone as much as he did her... and vice versa. My thoughts and prayers are with you all ...... Tim Thompson

Irene Adolf left a message on February 5, 2021:
Words are so inadequate at this time but I do want you to know how much I enjoyed being with the Sipek clan in Milwaukee and MInocqua and Lost Lake. My life with David was so wonderful and Pete and Jean always made me feel welcome and loved. How I miss those times. And now I offer my sincere condolences at the loss of Pete. He was always so happy and kind. He was a treasure and David and I loved his smiling face, funny jokes and joyful demeanor. I am so so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Ann Brebeck left a message on February 5, 2021:
it's been fun to renew our social interactions with Sipek cousins since we returned from living "Up North " in 2015. The annual parties at Christmas and in the summer...great hospitality. Sadly we part with Pete way too soon. RIP Peter ! Say hello to Hans for me.
Dan Chaudoir left a message on February 5, 2021:
It has been an honor to have known Pete. He was my friend, employee, fishing and drinking buddy. What a great man. Jean, you are a saint and my heart and tears go out to you and yours. Pete, your suffering is over man. I'll see you soon enough, but in the meantime start scouting for the best fishing holes.

Gina, I am so very sorry for your loss of Pete. He fought the good fight with you by his side. There is always a light that shines thru the grief you feel and I believe that’s it’s Pete’s way of saying he’s in you heart until you meet again. With my deepest sympathy and prayers for you and to all the Sipek family, Betty, (Sue’s mom)
