Pedro Juan Collazo age 83, of Tarpon Springs, Florida, passed away peacefully on August 7^th, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born on January 16^th, 1942, in Puerto Rico, he dedicated over 20 years of his life in proud service to the United States Army, serving with honor, courage, and unwavering commitment to his country.

Beyond his distinguished military career, Pedro was the heart of his family—a devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose kindness, wisdom, and steady presence touched every life he encountered. His greatest pride was his family, and he cherished every moment spent with them. He is survived by his children, Tina and Peter; his beloved grandchildren, Alyssa, Alex, Gabrielle, and Garrett; and his precious great-grandchildren, Kaylana and Avianna.

He is also survived by Frankie, his brother, and preceded in death by his wife Maria. His legacy will live on in the values he instilled, the memories he created, and the love he gave so freely.

A funeral service with full military honors will be held on August 30^th, 2025, at St. Luke’s Church, 2757 Alderman Rd, Palm Harbor, FL 34684. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Tunnels to Towers  (https://t2t.org/) in his memory.

Rest easy, Pedro. Your watch has ended—job well done.
