Milford Haven: A family is in shock after losing Pete John Black, a beloved dad-of-two, on New Year’s Eve. He was known for his skateboarding skills and his vibrant personality. Everyone loved him, and he was often called “Milford Haven’s real-life Ace Ventura.”
His sister, Christine, shared how hard it is to cope with his sudden loss. Pete was just 38 and leaves behind his partner Charlotte and their twin kids, Jaymee and Nile. Christine said they’re all struggling to find the right words to express their grief.
Christine explained how Pete’s unexpected passing has affected so many people. He was young and full of life, and his absence has created a big void. He was a talented skateboarder, and even those who hadn’t spoken to him in years are feeling the pain of his loss.
Despite having many interests, Pete’s main focus was always his kids. Christine described him as a carefree guy who enjoyed life. He dabbled in tattooing and plastering but never really settled into one career. His biggest goal was just to be there for his children.
Looking back, Christine said Pete was someone you couldn’t help but admire. He made everything look easy and was so humble about it. Even when he got into trouble, people couldn’t dislike him. He was just that kind of person.
Now, Christine feels like she’s lost a part of herself. She shared how the grief hits her in waves, sometimes feeling okay, and other times overwhelmed by the reality of his absence. It’s a strange process for her, and she finds comfort in talking about him, but the nights are the hardest.
With the unexpected nature of Pete’s death, the family is seeking help to cover funeral costs. Christine mentioned that they’re trying to raise funds to handle the basic expenses and hopefully have some left over for the kids to enjoy a day out.
Christine also reflected on Pete’s legacy, saying he was like a real-life Ace Ventura. He had a big heart and was loved by animals, which she believes says a lot about his character. He was kind, funny, and faced life’s challenges with strength.
