Pedro, I don’t know a single person who knew you that isn’t saddened and shocked by your absence. I’m so sorry.

The world has lost an amazing soul...My deepest condolences and sympathies to his family and friends. I only knew Pedro a short time through the Media Studies Department at Pitzer College, but I treasure the time and conversations we had together. Godspeed Pedro.

My heart breaks to learn of Pedro's passing. I was a teacher at Bronx Prep when Pedro was in middle school, and while I never had Pedro in my class, I knew his bright spirit and energy well. He sure has left a mark on my heart forever. I am holding all of you tight during this time, and will keep Pedro in my heart forever. <3 What an incredible human being. There are no words to express my deep sympathy to all of his family and friends. He will never be forgotten. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

In Pedro, we have lost a brightly shining star, far too early. He was always there for my son, Stuart, and all of their friends from high school and college, with that indomitable spirit, that smile, his keen and curious intellect, and his dependable thoughtfulness. He will be missed by many in this world. Sending prayers and hugs to his family and all who knew him.

With all the amazing memories we’ve created, it’s so hard to choose which ones to share. You were a force to be reckoned with and I was so lucky to love you and be loved by you. You showed me the meaning of unconditional. You gave me the three happiest, adventure-filled, loving years of my life and I promise to fulfill everything you hoped to achieve before leaving this earth. I’ve never been in awe of someone like I have of you baby. Though you never liked to admit or confirm it, you were truly the most creative, intelligent, poignant, eloquent person I’d ever had the pleasure of knowing. I’ll miss our passionate conversations and your voice getting louder and louder as you get more excited. I’ll miss the sound of your voice more than anything and constantly looking forward to the next time I get to hear it. I thank you eternally for the love and light and joy you brought to my life. Despite walking around with the weight of the world on your shoulders, you always took time to make sure your family knew the immense love you have for them. And I was family to you. I’ve never felt more pride in my life than when I got to call you mine and me yours. You are unforgettable and irreplaceable. I wish forever lasted longer with you. Sleep well my king 💕

Dro was such an incredible presence in so many people’s lives and I feel so lucky to have known him. To witness his relationship with Zaineb was so special as anyone around them could feel their strong connection. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.
