💙 In Loving Memory of Pete Joyce 💙
This post isn’t about asking for anything — it’s about honoring a man whose life embodied everything we stand for.
Pete was exactly the kind of person we strive to be at The Hope Institute. He never turned anyone away, always made time for a conversation, and helped people no matter what they were going through. That quiet strength and unwavering compassion defined him — and it defines the work we do every day.
It’s hard to put into words the kind of impact someone like Pete had on the people around him. He was the friend you could count on — the one who showed up without being asked and made others feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for.
Pete believed deeply that everyone deserves another chance — even when life gets messy. That’s just who he was: steady, kind, and real.
We were incredibly moved to learn that his family chose to honor Pete’s life by directing donations to The Hope Institute in lieu of flowers. It’s a gesture that speaks volumes about who he was — giving back what was so freely given to him.
Any support made in Pete’s name will go directly toward scholarships for individuals seeking treatment who might not otherwise be able to access care.
It’s a powerful way to carry on Pete’s legacy of showing up for others when they need it most.

Thank you for helping us celebrate a man who truly made the world a better place. 💙
Share Memories and Support the Family.
