Pete Schneider

Pete was the type of kid to pick up a sport after his older brothers and master it quicker than they could. He was humble about it, too, leaving a lasting impression on everyone around him.

Pete was diagnosed at age 14, the day after St Patrick’s Day. This day will forever go down as St. Pete-ricks Day in our family.
