Peter William Kiesel

Fondly known by many as “Yapster,” he was born in the Bronx, New York, but spent much of his life between Vermont and Colorado before eventually settling in San Diego, California. Throughout his life, he was known for his strong spirit, thoughtful words, and the connections he built with those around him. He is survived by his two sons, Peter and Brian; his sister, Dorothy; and his nieces, nephews, and grandchildren.

The ABCs of his life:

A – Architect of Articulation, always ready with thoughtful words and lively conversation. 

B – A lover of butterflies, a proud fan of the Broncos, and most of all, devoted to his boys.

 C – A champion of carpentry and construction, and forever a devoted Christian.

He will be remembered for the many ways he expressed his faith, his craftsmanship, and his love for family.
