Our Beloved son, brother, friend, and colleague went into the presence of God just a few days ago in the early morning of February 7, 2023. Milwaukee Police Officer Peter Jerving was fatally wounded during an altercation with a suspect he was attempting to apprehend.

Peter was a huge sports fan, both watching and playing. He supported all the Wisconsin teams: Packers, Brewers, Bucks, etc. But he also was an avid sportsman himself, playing football, softball, golf, volleyball, MMA, boxing and even kickball with his MPD colleagues of District 4. He was silly, and charming, and playful. He loved his family and friends fiercely, especially his many nieces and nephews. And he loved serving as a police officer for the city of Milwaukee.

Peter Jerving will be remembered by his family and friends as one of the most dedicated and caring people we have had the privilege of knowing. It is with great sorrow that we now commit Peter to our Father in heaven and to his and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Officer Peter Jerving was 37 years old and a four-year veteran of the Milwaukee Police force. He leaves behind his mother and father Patty and Douglas Jerving, his four sisters Rachel Mikulovsky (Jerving), Rebecca Twito (Jerving), Katherine Priest (Jerving), Faith Ferra (Jerving), and two brothers Andrew “Drew” Jerving, and Jamison Jerving and all their significant others; and dear friend of the family Janel Slaughter.

Beloved also by many nieces and nephews and by several dear aunts, uncles and cousins including Laurel and Joe Rynes and family, Steven and LuAnne Jerving and family, Susan Grooms and family, Donna Tellas, and the family of Penny Blair.

Peter also leaves behind his girlfriend Megan Bradley whom we have all just recently come to know. Megan, we are sorry for your loss, and you remain in our prayers.

Officer Peter Jerving will also be missed by his brothers and sisters of the largest family in Milwaukee County, the City of Milwaukee Police, Fire and Rescue teams, and many others in the Service of our community.

Visitation for Peter Jerving will be on Monday February 13, from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM at Elmbrook Church of Brookfield, 777 South Barker Road, Brookfield, Wisconsin with a service to follow at 1:30 PM. Burial will be at Wisconsin Memorial Cemetery.

If you would like to make a gift in lieu of flowers, you are encouraged to give to the Officer Jerving “End of Watch Fund” at any Landmark Credit Union Branch, or to the Fallen Heroes Fund set up in Peter’s honor at MPA Fallen Heroes Funds.

We could all use one of Pete's World famous hugs right now. And even though we are all crying he would do whatever it took to make sure we were in good spirits and laughing at the end of it. Pete was goofy and full of light and he permanently embedded himself in my heart (and many, many others). I am thankful for the time I knew him and will think of him everytime I watch the Brewers, Packers, etc. It's fun to know he actually had Packers sneakers that he would wear when watching the game. He cheered the loudest for his teams (pro sports or recreational) and I hope he knew how many people were cheering for him as he became such a respectable police officer. They say life is unfair, but death is too. I'm trying to find peace knowing Pete's purpose was fulfilled in keeping Milwaukee a little bit safer for 4 years. He will never be forgotten and never be replaced. To Pete's family: Be proud knowing you helped to raise and shape one of the absolute best men on this Earth; you were all a part of him, too. To Pete: I'll see you on the flip-side, P-Nut!

Dear Patty and Family, our Deepest Sympathy to all of You. We will keep Peter and your Family in our Thoughts and Prayers. With great Appreciation for His Service to The Community. Jack, Lynn and Nora, from Artist And Display

Your infectious smile and great sense of humor will be missed, thank you for your service, rest in peace friend.

Very sorry for your loss, very sad.

My deepest sympathy to his family friends, I knew him from Western States, He was such a pleasure to know him and his humor , he will be greatly missed by all. I wish i got to know him longer then i did. Peter (officer Jerving) may you rest in heaven and look over all you loved. END OF WATCH on earth and beginning of watch in heaven.
