It is with deep love and sorrow that we announce the passing of Peter Primicias, who left us on May 5, 2025, at the age of 62.
Born on February 23, 1963, Peter was the beloved fifth of seven children of Corazon Velasco and Cipriano Primicias Jr. A devoted brother, favorite uncle, and cherished friend, Peter’s warm smile, intelligence, and generous spirit touched everyone fortunate enough to know him.
His career in Information Technology led him to live and work in many countries, providing opportunities for professional growth, fostering lasting friendships, and allowing him to immerse himself in his love of photography along the way.
Beyond his work accomplishments, he embraced adventure and pursued a wide range of outdoor interests—from the endurance of biking to the focus of archery, the rhythm of rowing, and the quiet discipline of golf. A passionate Formula 1 aficionado, he was captivated by the sport’s speed, strategy, and pursuit of excellence—qualities that mirrored his own approach to life.
At home, Peter was known for his legendary roasts and barbecues, always paired with a carefully selected bottle of wine. A true connoisseur, he believed in savoring both flavors and moments, sharing them freely with those he loved.
He is survived by his siblings Bing, Cherry, Cipriano III, Victoria, and Teresa; his 13 nieces and nephews; a large extended family; and countless friends whose lives he touched in immeasurable ways. He now joins his parents and younger brother, Roberto, who passed before him.
Peter lived with passion, loved wholeheartedly, and gave selflessly. Though words cannot express how much he will be missed, his spirit remains with us—in every adventure, every shared meal, and every moment we celebrate together.
May he rest in peace, surrounded by the love he gave so freely and remembered always with joy and gratitude.
In lieu of flowers, the family warmly welcomes donations to the Terry Fox Foundation in Peter’s memory, helping advance innovative cancer research.
