There are NO words to express how very proud of I am of my Son. I love you to the moon & back Jordan Jones AKA Jordy hello for those of you who dont know me, my name is Jordan Jones. Peter was my best friend, but even more importantly Peter was my third brother. I moved to Lynchburg when i was in 9th grade of high school. I kept hearing this name, Peter. Peter this, Peter that. I thought to myself; who is this guy? Whats his deal? He must be overrated... I was Definitely wrong. We butted heads at first but it wasnt until around the end of junior year of high school that Peter and I started to spend a lot of time together. When our friendship came on, it was like a wild fire in a drought. Whether it was doing projects at his house at 11 pm the night that they were due, or telling Melissa that Casper, the family dog had escaped so that we could skip school. We just clicked. We got each other and thats the simplest way I know how to put it. To this day, we were never able to put the start of our friendship into words. Peter showed me what Lynchburg was all about. He shared his passion for this city with me and I am forever grateful. Peter loved Lynchburg as a community and each of you who are in attendance today. When I sit and think of what Peter was most passionate about, a few of his interests stand out to me without question. He loved his family, his friends, his house and this city that he called home. To me, his passion for each of these shine unsurpassingly. Peter loved his family and I feel as though he embraced me as a brother of his own. Danny and Melissa have always made me feel at home in their presence. The times we spent with Nana in Myrtle Beach are unforgetable. . Peter helped me to develop a true understanding of Loyalty. We believed that friendship is based on this essential characteristic and without it, faith in one another crumbles and creates a rocky road. He loved helping people, he was a caring and passionate individual. He always wanted to ensure that everyone around him was having a good time. If he was in a room full of people, he made it a point to ensure that everyone was enjoying themselves and each others company. He introduced me to countless friends, whom I now consider my own brothers. As I look at all of you before me, I feel a bit overwhelmed when I think about the massive amount of stories and memories we shared together, though Peter, our common bond. So many stories... You know who you are. He loved to reminisce and recall the memories we created. Although some of the stories are better left to be discussed later in the evening. He took the quote, if i could do it again, i would do it the same and I know without a doubt in my mind. Peter would not have changed a thing. I cannot stress the importance of keeping your memories close, just like Peter always did. Keep your family and friends close to your heart.
