Pedro married Elisabeth Wiebe in Mexico on August 23, 1970, and celebrated 52 years of marriage in August 2022. Together they made their home and started a family in Blumenhof, Swift Colony, Mexico. Pedro made a living with farming and carpentry. In 1985, they moved their growing family to help establish a new colony in Bueno Vista near Ascensión. Pedro continued farming and carpentry wherever he could find work. As times got tough, they made the decision in 1994 to seek a better life for themselves and their family and moved to Seminole, TX. Here Pedro continued his career in carpentry and became an accomplished cabinet builder. He was proud of his kids and their accomplishments. His sons all followed in his footsteps with either farming or carpentry skills. He loved his wife, children and grandchildren. He will be greatly missed.
