Roberto "Pito" "Pete" Lugo

AUSTINTOWN - Roberto “Pito” “Pete” Lugo Jr., 45, ascended to be with the Lord, passing away from this earth on Sunday, Aug. 8, 2021.

Roberto was born July 28, 1976, and was the eldest of three children born to Roberto and Linda Lugo. Born in Cleveland, he lived there until he moved with his family to Youngstown at the age of 13. 

It was in Youngstown that he met his lifelong buddies and flourished into adulthood. Pete graduated from Austintown Fitch in 1995, and then dedicated himself to his career as a truck driver. 

He was all about fun and family, and those who knew him loved him dearly. Besides his family and friends, Roberto loved his Jeep, his fish, and his cat, Gato. 

Roberto leaves to cherish his memory his parents, Roberto Sr. and Linda Lugo of Austintown; his fiance, Carrine Eisenwein, and Carrine’s daughter, Alexis; his sister, Lissette Lugo of Salem, and her children Christian, Isabella, and Jordan; his brother, Michael Lugo, Michael’s fiancé, Heather Collins of Austintown, and children, Ryan, Brianna, and Alissa; his grandparents, Marcelino and Rizarra DeJesus; and many additional family, friends, and loved ones.

Pito was preceded in death by grandparents, Domingo and Elba Lugo, and an uncle, Chico DeJesus.

To know him was to love him. Pito had the biggest heart and he loved life. He was a lover with the heart of a warrior, and that's how he will be remembered.
