  1. Today we were hit with some devastating news about our dear friend and
    fellow unicyclist Pete. He was admitted to hospital on Saturday the 7th
    of July, and subsequently into ICU. He had been in a drug-induced coma
    since Saturday, and on a respirator.

    This morning, he fell into cardiac arrest, and they were not able to
    restart his heart. He passed away this morning and will be sorely
    missed by all his friends and family.

    Funeral details will follow once his family has had a moment to recover
    from their loss, it will likely be held on Thursday or Friday this
    week.

    For those of you who knew Pete, this will obviously be very sad news,
    and we encorage those of you know love him as we do to drop your
    support.

    Peace out guys!

  5. :eek:

    I don't believe it....that is really sad news

    I saw him last Tuesday to pick up a video he made for the Wellington
    bid for Unicon XV. He'd been having a bit of indigestion but I guess
    that was probably a bad sign. I didn't know he was so unwell.

    Aw man...🙁

    Rest in Peace Pete,

  7. I didn't know Pete, but to hear a member of our community is no longer
    with us is a huge shock. I hope his friends and family pull through
    this.

  14. I never met pete66 in person, but he did PM me when I first posted in
    these forums because he lived in the same county as I did before going
    to New Zealand. He started his message with "How's the idling going?";
    I was just learning that and it was really nice of him to ask that,
    even though he had lots more skills than I ever would.

    Rest in peace my distant friend. I'll be dedicating my first off-road
    29er ride tomorrow to you.

  18. For those of you not privileged enough to know Pete so intimately, he
    was a heart transplant recipient as a child, thus has had a weak immune
    system due to the medication used to stop his heart from being
    rejected.

    On Saturday afternoon, he was admitted to hospital with pneumonia, and
    was scheduled for a heart biopsy on the day of his passing.

    I had come to Wellington on Friday to visit him, and stay at his place
    for a few weeks, but I was unable to see him before his passing.

    Your support is appreciated, as he will be missed beyond belief by all
    of those who knew him.

  19. 🙁
    Those are very sad tidings. Although I only knew Pete from NZUni
    Weekend 06 I could see he was a great guy. At least he was able to live
    his life to the full while he could. Because I din't know Pete on a
    personal level my heart goes out to those of you who did, it must be
    hard to loose such a close friend like that.
    Full condolences to the family.
    Hope the ridings good up there🙂
