PJ
attended Hillsboro-Deering High School and graduated class of 2011.
He attended NHTI and took classes for Early Childhood Education.
He was a Customer Service Representative and the head cashier at
Lowe's the last three years, earning praise and awards. PJ was also
studying to earn his real estate license. He was an avid
sports fan always knowing player stats and standings for the
Celtics, Red Sox and especially the victorious New England Patriots.
His passion was playing the guitar. He played several
instruments, which he self-taught: electric guitar, ukulele, bass,
organ, really any instrument he could get his hands on. He
loved jamming with his friends, whether they were other musicians or
Guitar Hero. He is most loved for his goofy sense of humor.
He loved to make you laugh, almost any way he could whether it was
his goofy smile or one-liners, he was spot on. Most of all, he
was beloved by his family and many friends.
