Growing up in La Porte, Texas, Pete was a member of La Porte Community Church, attending Sunday School and VBS as a child, singing in the Youth Choir and playing guitar for special events at Christmas and Father’s Day. It was a special time that he truly enjoyed. Pete was a 1983 graduate of La Porte High School and a proud member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of 1991. He graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture. He had a green thumb and a love of plants, always working hard to make sure his mom had a beautiful yard. He helped open and operate Robertson’s Nursery for over 30 years. Pete loved any and all animals, from stray cats and dogs, to his many horses. They seemed to find a home with him all the time. He took good care of his mom and dad when they needed him, always striving to make sure his mom had everything she needed. Pete loved playing guitar and could pick with the best of them, from classic rock to good ole country music. He loved his family and was well-loved by anyone who knew him.
