Pedro "Pete" Silva Godinho, 87, passed away peacefully in his sleep in King City on February 27, 2020.

Pedro was born January 31, 1933, in Terceira, Azores, Portugal to Antonio Godinho and Maria Do Nascimento Godinho. He met and married the love of his life, Yvonne. They had two children, Carlos and Lucy, while living in the Azores. He worked at the US Air Force Base and loved to fish and hunt. Pedro moved his family to the United States on October 31, 1968. Soon after they settled in King City, their third child, Steven, was born.

Pedro and his family became parishioners at St. John's Catholic Church. He joined the King City Knights of Columbus and was a member until his passing. For many years, he was an active member with the King City Lions Club and Monterey County Agricultural and Rural Life Museum (MCARLM) where he enjoyed using his woodworking skills for repairing and building projects. He also enjoyed traveling with the Tumbleweeds, attending Portuguese festivals and volunteering his time for many years as a youth soccer coach in King City.

Pedro worked at Union Carbide as a mechanic for 27 years. He lost his beloved Yvonne to an illness in 1981. Eventually, he took up western line dancing where he met Sandy and they were married. Together, they enjoyed traveling with their line dancing group of friends. Following his retirement, Pedro and Sandy moved to West Sacramento to be near her grown children and grandchildren. Upon Sandy's passing, Pedro moved back to his home in King City.

Pedro loved spending time with his immediate and extended family members. His passions included listening to country music, line dancing, gardening, bee keeping and working in his "shop." For many years, he raised canaries and parakeets and loved playing in local pedro parties throughout Monterey County. He was always willing to lend his family and friends a helping hand with projects.
