He was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church. Peter was passionate about life, which included his family, friends and sports. His family and friends provided the strength and support during his fight, while sports provided an outlet. Peter equated his battle with cancer to a baseball play at the plate.

Peter is survived by his father, Rosario Luna of Mexia; step-mother, Elizabeth Luna of Mexia; brothers and sisters, Jose Luis Luna and wife, Martina of Dallas, Rosario Luna, Jr. of Mexia, Elizabeth Luna of Arlington, Araceli Luna, Victor Luna, Patricia Luna, Rocio Luna, Zenaida Luna, and Magali Luna all of Mexia; paternal grandparents, Guillermo and Antonia Luna; maternal grandmother, Paulina Barco; a niece, Madison Luna of Waco; and numerous friends.
