Obituary For Peter John LeMay

Peter J. LeMay, son of Jeanne (Larry) Steele and the late Charles H. LeMay passed away unexpectedly Sunday, October 22, 2023.

He’s survived by Erica, his wife of 26 years; children Nicholas and Madeline; siblings Joseph (Charlene) LeMay and Jaqueline (Brian) Bell; nephews Josh, Chris and Zac; niece Kianna; mother-in-law Jackie Kozlowski, sister-in-law Maureen (Stanley) Vaught. He is also survived by his aunts and uncles: Nancy (Pat) Doherty, Tom (Cathy) Cowger, Jane (Sheryl) Williams and Jodee (Cam) Simon. Pete had many cousins that will cherish his memory, especially his cousin Chris Sparks who was his best friend.

Pete was preceded by maternal grandparents Arlie and Eunice Cowger; paternal grandparents Charles J. & Helen LeMay; uncles Lucky and Sonny Cowger, aunt Kathy Bump and Cindy Cowger; and his father-in-law Joseph Kozlowski.

Pete had served in the US Army. He was passionate about drumming and loved a good joke. “It’s a simple question of weight ratio! A 5 ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.” He also enjoyed watching the Cleveland Browns, golfing and fishing.

A Celebration of Life will be on November 12th. Family will announce details on Facebook.

    I was fortunate to meet Pete when I was stationed at Ft Stewart in 87, was in the same squad with him for about a year and a half. He always had a laugh primed and ready to go. Condolences to the family, he will be missed by all that knew him.

    Pete and I were stationed together at Ft. Stewart where we shared a love for music and motorcycles. He always had the most unique takes and comments, which kept things fun and interesting. One day we were talking about what accents we found sexy and when it got to his turn, he responded Swahili. That was him, just a fun, silly guy. God I'm going to miss him. Condolences to the family from me and all the brothers he served with.

    I was roommates with Pete while stationed at Ft Stewart GA. He was always quick with a joke and could create a cool beat on almost any surface. We attended many concerts and spent time at Daytona beach on spring break. I was shocked to hear of his passing and I will cherish the memories we made forever.

    Pete and I shared a passion for playing drums like nobody I have ever met! When I came home for a visit from the military, there Pete was showing me up with his use of a double bass pedal. That inspired me to go back and try to learn how to use it. I never did get very good at it but through the years I would think of him every time I would practice it. You will be missed brother!!!!
