Peter Arndt

It is with tremendous sadness that the family of Peter Arndt announces his unexpected passing on an Alaskan cruise, May 29, 2024, in Ketchikan, Alaska.

Peter was born April 17, 1952, in Sydney, Australia. He came to Albuquerque in 1972 on a tennis scholarship to UNM. After graduating, he began his career in the insurance business, which he continued successfully until his retirement.

He loved attending his children's and grandchildren's sporting events. He enjoyed playing tennis, ping pong, and later in life, pickleball. His passion was learning, teaching, and growing in the understanding of God's Word. His church home was Desert Springs, where he loved to serve, worship, and fellowship with his church community.

Peter will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Annette; children Philip, Lindsey, and Brian; their spouses Elizabeth, Aaron, and Katie; grandchildren Addison and Liberty Arndt, Adalynn, Layden and Kaylia Day, Brady and Taylor Arndt; his brother Chris and sister-in-law Louise Arndt and the rest of the extended Australian family.

He will be deeply missed by his extended family, countless friends, and his beloved church family.

Peter's Celebration of Life will be Monday, June 10th, 2024, at Desert Springs Church at 10:00 am.
