Peter's obituary

Peter Houston, 41 of Minneapolis, MN died unexpectedly on 9-13-21.  His loss was completely unexpected and the family is shocked and deeply saddened. Peter was born on October 10, 1979, to Bobby(mom) and Gene (dad)Houston in Minneapolis, MN.  Peter attended the Academy of Holy Angels, in Richfield, MN where he met a core group of friends who remained close until the end.  While enrolled, he began doing a cable access tv show displaying "quality" teenage drama and wrestling skills.  He got a job at Rainbow Foods as a 14-year-old, often joking that he was in the "family business" as Grandpa Houston owned his own stores until retirement.  After graduating high school, Peter followed his passion for wrestling to train with Ed Sharkey and Terry Fox at the same time worked his way up through Rainbow Foods until that closed, Peter worked at another store until this closed.  Throughout years and jobs, he pursued a career in wrestling which he enjoyed for almost 20 years.  After the grocery business jobs, he began working in the service industry at Herkimer, and later at Shindig Event Center.  Then the Covid-19 pandemic began and ended this employment.   Anyone who knew Peter, knew that he was kind, loving,  a larger-than-life performer, whether in wrestling or in the service industry.   During the pandemic and social justice crises that ignited in Minneapolis, a mile from where he lived, Peter became activated and vocal for the issues he was passionate about. Peter’s family and friends will miss him more than words can say. If you cannot attend the celebration of life, please consider posting on petehuge.com/loved.
