Peter Maksym Krup

He is survived by his parents Oleh and Virginia Krup, his older brother Daniel (Tamara) Krup, and two nieces (Ella and Olivia) and nephew (Luke); his partner Sukha Hartsell-DuPont; his aunt Christine Krup Gaynor and cousins Katya and Lesya; his aunt Alicia Szendiuch; his uncle Jorge (Maura) Szendiuch and three cousins John (Ashley) Szendiuch their son Eli, and Nick and Luke. He also leaves behind relatives in Ukraine and Argentina.

Peter was born on August 9, 1985, in Stamford Connecticut where he spent his childhood. He attended Fairfield College Preparatory School and then the University of Michigan, where he earned a degree in Economics.

He was a man of many interests and after spending the early part of his professional career living in New York City working in finance, he decided to pursue more creative endeavors. These included apprenticing as a glassblower and training as a woodworker in upstate NY and VT. Most recently he worked in healthcare in the hospital system near Burlington, VT where he supervised patients and provided compassionate care before and after treatment and during longer stays. Prior to his death he was in the process of earning certifications in the hospital system.

Peter was an extremely sensitive and empathetic person with a deep sense of justice. These qualities meant he was always there for those most in need and endeared him to family, friends, and many in the behavioral health system.

He most enjoyed spending his time fishing (including competitively), woodworking, antiquing and cheesemaking. He was also an avid reader and collector of books especially history books.

Peter will be deeply missed.
