Alonzo 'Pete' Lassiter Obituary
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven;
A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build up”
~ Ecclesiastes 31:1-3

A Time to Die: (Ecclesiastes 3:2)
Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what’s to be, A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay… Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know. For some the journey is quicker, For some the journey’s slow. And when the journey finally ends, We’ll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord. On Friday, May 7, 2021; while in the care of Southside Regional Medical Center, Petersburg, Virginia, our dear loved one, answered God’s solemn call from earthly labor unto reward. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by: a sister, Gloria Marie Bigelow and one brother, James Ivory Lassiter.
