Pete Dennison Obituary-Death News; Pete Dennison, Consultant at Scout & Cellar Passed Away Suddenly
The South Tampa community is mourning the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Pete Dennison, a beloved friend, uncle, and consultant with Scout & Cellar, who passed away unexpectedly.
Known for his quick wit, larger-than-life personality, and unwavering loyalty to those he loved, Pete’s absence leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of his family, friends, and colleagues.
Born and raised in South Tampa, Pete made his home in the same community where he grew up—a place that benefited greatly from his presence. Whether it was on the sidelines of a kids’ game, at a weekend cookout, or simply enjoying a laugh with friends, Pete brought energy, laughter, and heart to every space he entered.
Professionally, Pete worked as a consultant for Scout & Cellar, a company known for its clean-crafted wines. He was a passionate advocate for the brand and its mission, often combining his love for wine with his natural charisma to build lasting relationships with clients and colleagues alike.
But it wasn’t his job that defined him—it was how he made people feel. To his friends, Pete was a constant. A ride-or-die. The kind of friend who’d show up at 2 a.m. with a pizza and a bad joke, but stay long enough to help you through life’s darkest moments.
From the early days of mischief with his childhood best friends to his role as the legendary “Uncle Pizza” to his friends’ children, Pete was always the glue holding everyone together.
One close friend shared:
“From the idiot of a childhood best friend, to a hell of a third wheel, and eventually the greatest Uncle Pizza our kids could have ever asked for. Pete Dennison, promise me you will BOP Darren when he needs it, and I promise to hop up and finish these dang ballparks for you. Rest easy brother. We love you.”
This tribute captures the essence of Pete: fiercely funny, deeply devoted, and endlessly reliable. He didn’t just show up—he made moments unforgettable.
Pete’s impact extended beyond his circle of close friends. He had a gift for connecting with people—whether through his infectious laugh, his thoughtful gestures, or his ability to make you feel like the most important person in the room. He loved deeply, lived loudly, and gave generously.
His loss has prompted an outpouring of grief and gratitude from those who knew him. Tributes have flooded social media, with stories of Pete’s loyalty, his humor, and the way he made people feel safe and loved.
He was the kind of person whose memory will be carried not just in words, but in the traditions he inspired, the laughter he left behind, and the lives he quietly changed.
Pete Dennison’s sudden passing is a reminder of how precious and fleeting life can be. In honoring his memory, those closest to him are committed to carrying on his legacy—finishing projects he started, watching over those he loved, and living with the same kind of humor and heart that defined his every day.
He is survived by his family, countless friends, and the many children who knew him simply as “Uncle Pizza.” A memorial service is expected to be announced soon, with details to be shared by the family.
Rest easy, Pete. You are deeply missed, fiercely loved, and never forgotten.
