Peter Luke Espino

Peter Luke Espino, age 30, passed away suddenly on May 17, 2024, in his home town of Colorado Springs, Colorado. He loved going to hear bands in Denver, listening to music generally, and laughing with friends while hanging out alongside his 70 pound "puppy" Ki Ki. Pete was devoted to his older brother Gabriel who he lived with most of his life. His parents, Lee Espino and Kay Nash, adored their loving, generous boy.

Peter was a thinker, inquisitive, and used his technology skills locally working as a HVAC technician. Peter spent his early years at Fremont Elementary, Russell Middle School, and graduated from Doherty High School in 2011. He went on to earn an associates degree in HVAC from Pikes Peak College.

Peter often visited his parents wearing colorful hats and clothing and ate eggs in a nest for breakfast. Afterwards, he would take a nap on the couch while semi-watching "What We Do in the Shadows" or "American Dad."

Peter is survived by his parents, Lee Espino and Kay Nash, and his brother, Gabriel. The bereaved also include family in Wisconsin and Tucson, Arizona, and, of course, his friends and colleagues locally.

We love Peter so deeply and grieve his loss with broken hearts. Rest in peace (and laughter), dearest, darling boy. Funeral arrangements are pending.
