Peter B. Northup, 67, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 31, 2025 with his loving family by his side. Born in Providence, he was the beloved son of the late John H. Northup and Barbara (Clarke) Considine. Peter is survived by his daughter Carly Eichele and grandson Zayden, by his siblings Susan Livesey, John Northup and Jeffrey Northup; as well as by many loving nieces and nephews.

After spending the past six years in South Carolina, Peter returned to his home state of Rhode Island, where he had spent most of his life. In his free time, he loved riding his Harley-Davidson, relaxing at the beach and spending time with his beloved dog, Lady. Known for his fun-loving spirit, Peter had a gift for bringing joy to those around him and always made the most of every moment with family and friends.
