Peter J. Lang, 60, passed away on July 15th 2021. He was born on October 18th, 1960 to Peter and Barbara Lang in Chicago, IL. He lived there with his parents and two sisters, Rose and Christine, until he moved with his family to Treasure Island, FL. He has remained a resident of Treasure Island, FL for the last 45 years although he never lost his love for Portillio’s & deep dish Chicago style pizza.
He graduated from Boca Ciega high school and initially studied and worked in computer technology. He most recently worked at Home Depot and in property maintenance but would say he was most invested in the many years he helped manage the family business, the Sea Jay motel.
Peter was a proud father of 2 daughters. He shared his lifelong love for soccer with them and dedicated himself to coaching and supporting girls soccer for 13 years. He was also the kind of dad that always made sure his daughters had a safe car to drive, gas money, and regular oil changes. In recent years, he would enjoy finding a new restaurant to try with them when they made plans to get together.
Peter is survived by his 2 daughters, Nichole Grimes and Stephanie Lang, along with his father, Peter Lang, and sister, Rose Kurhayez.
On October 16th, 2016 Peter committed to a life without alcohol and kept that commitment to himself and his family. His family is grateful for the sober years they got to share with him. Saturday October 16th 2021 would have been Peter’s 5 year sober anniversary. Family and Friends are invited to honor and remember Peter on that day at a short graveside service followed by lunch.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Foundation for Alcoholism Research, a foundation that supports research for prevention and treatment of alcoholism, a cause important to Peter and his family.
