Obituary

JEFFERSON - Walter “Pete” Francis Staunton, age 67, of Jefferson, passed away on Friday, August 1, 2025, at Alden Estates. He was born on November 20, 1957, in Toledo, Ohio, the son of Joseph and Mary "Polly" (Gardner) Staunton.


Pete worked in sales at Sears for over 20 years where he sold lawn and garden equipment to most of Monroe County, Michigan.


Pete had a wonderful sense of humor and quick wit. He loved being a dad and coaching his children in sports when they were younger. He was an avid fan of the Cleveland Browns and enjoyed classic tv shows, especially Bonanza and Gunsmoke. He also loved listening to classic rock, like ACDC, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd.


Pete is survived by his son, Brandon (Anna Sundstedt) Staunton; daughters, Brooke (Kyle) Doom and Stephanie (Jason) Edwards; grandson, Issac Edwards; sister, Pamela Pyle; brother, Harry (Nora) Staunton; nieces and nephews; and his beloved cat, Miss Kitty. He was preceded in death by his father, Joseph; mother, Mary “Polly”; three brothers, Joseph, Edwin and Bob Staunton; and brother-in-law, David Pyle.


The family wishes to thank the staff of Alden Estates in Jefferson for all of their wonderful care and support given to Pete. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Dane County Humane Society as Pete loved animals and pets. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.

He would write on every Birthday card or Christmas card where ever he found room to let you know how much he cared for you and loved you and was always funny and enjoyable to read.
