Pete James Sciara, died unexpectedly on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, at the age of 25 years. Pete's entire family is deeply saddened by his passing.

Pete was born on December 10, 1996, in Memphis, TN., he was the first child of Sam J. Sciara and Bridgette McLaughlin(Anthony). Pete was preceded in death by grandparents Pete and Mary Sciara, and his uncle Jay Adams. Pete is survived by his son Liam S. Sciara, father Sam Sciara, mother Bridgette McLaughlin (Anthony), his siblings Mary, Sam, Jr. and Michael Sciara, grandmother Sara Frazier, along with a host of aunts, uncles, and extended family.

After graduating from Vero Beach, High/ Desoto County High School in 2016, Pete attended Northwest Community College with a focus on business. During Pete's time at Northwest Community College, Pete was also employed at Federal Express as a dock supervisor. Pete loved the outdoors, especially the beach, and traveling to Cornith, MS to explore the outdoors and take his son Liam fishing. Pete was extremely loving and compassionate, he was willing to help anyone in need. Often referred to as "Sweet Pete".

Pete was dedicated to working hard to provide a wonderful life for his son Liam. Petes passion for his family was unmatched as he spent every moment he could with his family. No matter the occasion Pete was always present, he was there for every member of the family. Pete would light up the room with his beautiful smile and infectious laugh. Pete left this earth all too soon but he will live through all of us as his soul touched everyone he met.

Pete met McKenna Kohlhof at the Tin Roof on Beale Street in Memphis while gathering with friends. They enjoyed spending time at home, family events, and dinners with his siblings. Pete and Mckenna were soulmates and they had a very special bond the will continue to live in infamy.

Anyone who knew Pete understood that he believed it was better to help one another rather than trying to just be right and one-sided. Pete believed we must honor and value each person we encounter, that we must pay homage to the ordinary hero, not just the famous and wealthy, but to those who go to work and loves their kids, the person with integrity who has the courage of his convictions.
