Peter Ripberger was a great man, he helped out mines, and helped me craft. I love this man and feel as if his legacy should be shared for everyone to hear. I think we should never forget the ones we lose, as that is just sad, remember what this man did.

Dear Family of Peter,
I wanted to share a memory of Peter from high school. It has been many years (probably graduation) since I’ve seen him but he was such a good friend to me personally. I know he listened to my (many) problems and complaints about life with an amazing capacity to care. He also gave me a ride to school and back - a lot! I never knew why he was so generous but he really was. We had a great time with my friend Heather and Casey as well. He drove this lowered truck which was really hip back in the early 90’s. His biting sense of humor and sarcasm was very much “right on the money” when it came right down to it. He could go on a rant at a moments notice and we would all be laughing 😂 a lot. Peter, rest well and will catch you in the next life. Your friend, Kelly Tucker

I knew Peter from Granada Hills High School. He was very generous, kind and thoughtful person. I am very sad to hear the news. My heart goes out to his family. I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences -

From Granada to SDSU, it was always nice to hang with you.

RIP, bro. 

Vinnie

Very sad to hear the news of Pete's passing.  A Sigma Chi brother in the mid 90's--someone who always had a wealth of sports knowledge to share with you, and always available to validate a point you were trying to make with someone else...or just laugh together at whatever Jim Rome had to say that day.  It had been years since I had seen him or spoke to him, but keeping up with him on social media outlets was always entertaining.  Much love to his immediate family and close friends...gone far too soon.

Pete; A proud Sigma Chi Brother of mine at San Diego State University was intensly focused on Finance as we shared this in common.  He was intensely analytical yet we could easily have A joke and A smile often!  RIP / In Hoc EX

I have the pleasure of working with Peter for 5 years and was grateful for his support and sense of humor.  Peter was a stand up guy who worked hard and was proud of his family.  May he rest in peace.

Aunt Pattie, Rip, Mike and Heather.
There are not enough words to express my condolence and sorrow for the pain you are all feeling. I know you have a ton of great memories... Hold on to those, he knows he was loved.

Ripberger family-
We were so sad to hear about Peter and will miss our cousin and nephew. Thinking of you and wishing you moments of peace and comfort as you remember him. Lots of love and prayers to you all.

It was great to work with Peter for a year.  He graced us with sometimes funny or interesting stories about his cats, running marathons, being a foodie in Phoenix, and of course his family.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and two sons.

I was deeply saddened to hear this news. You were a good friend and a like-minded political advocate for the every man.  Won't forget you buddy.

I am truly heartbroken over the loss of my friend. I will miss our brother-sister chats, the laughs we shared and your hilarious anecdotes and sarcasm.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family, especially his boys, whom he loved so much.

I will miss you Peter, and I won't ever forget you.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers.  Sending strength to get through your loss.

I am grieving for the loss of a friend and colleague. Peter will be sorely missed.

Sending lots of love and prayers to you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.

I was shocked and greatly saddened to hear the news.  I worked with Peter and had the utmost respect and admiration for him.  He was a stellar person.  My prayers are with his family.
