Pedro's obituary

Pedro Taitano, 72, of Sacramento, CA, and originally from Asan, Guam, passed away peacefully on December 21, 2024. A devoted family man, loyal friend, and kind soul, Pedro lived a life full of love, simplicity, and generosity.

Pedro was the beloved father of Joshua Taitano (Elizabeth) and Michelle Gonzalez (Julio). He adored his eight grandchildren—Jasmine, Amyra, Jordyn, Isla, Kaleo, Emerie, Keanu, and Sirena—who were the light of his life. He cherished spending time with them, taking them shopping, sharing moments at Burger King, and creating memories they will treasure forever.

A dedicated and hardworking man, Pedro retired from the Army & Air Force Exchange Service on May 30, 2014, after 37 years of service. He later became a familiar and friendly face during his 30+ years working at Grocery Outlet, where he earned the admiration of colleagues and customers alike.

Pedro found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved the ocean, where he felt a deep sense of peace. A true sports fan, he was passionate about his favorite teams: the Las Vegas Raiders, the Oakland A’s, and the Sacramento Kings. Whether cheering from his living room or sharing his enthusiasm with loved ones, his loyalty never wavered.

Pedro will be remembered for his generous spirit, humble nature, and the deep love he had for his family. He lived simply but left behind a legacy of kindness, warmth, and unwavering devotion to those he held dear.

A celebration of Pedro’s life will be held privately by his family. They ask for prayers and support during this time of remembrance and healing.

Rest in peace, Pedro Taitano. Your memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved you.
