Spinnakerblue89 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 A very reputable mind in the XJ/MJ tech scene has been lost. Let us all take note of his wisdom and all that he had given to the community. As an historian, I cannot agree more strongly that all of his site and wealth of knowledge must be compiled, archived, and maintained for easy access.

Manche757 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Peter “Pete” Lee Rushbrook, 70, of Prescott, Arizona, passed away on May 16, 2024. Pete was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He was known for his love of old cars, his dedication to his friends and family, and his willingness to help others in any way he could. Pete will be remembered for his friendly and outgoing nature. He never met a stranger and was always ready to strike up a conversation with anyone he encountered. His knowledge and willingness to lend a hand made him the “go-to guy” for many, earning him the admiration and love of all who knew him. Pete is survived by his wife, Christine Rushbrook, his children David Rushbrook (Erica), Kurt Hartwick (Heather), Shane Christopher (Jimmy), and Chrystal Hartwick, as well as his grandchildren-Kristen, Brady, Cody, Kaylee, Alexandria, Ashley, Seth, Jase, Connor, Sophia, Olivia, and great-grandchildren-Tanner, Brayden, Cole, Natalia, Nevaeh, Penelope, and Dawson. He was preceded in death by his parents, Edna and William Rushbrook, and his brother William (Rush). A gathering of friends in memory of Pete will be held on Wednesday, May 29th, 2024, at 5 p.m. at the Watson Lake upper Ramada. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Pete will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those he touched. Information provided by the family.

mjeff87 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Wow. I've been AWOL around here for a bit (life/work stuff getting in the way) and just saw this. RIP Pete. His renix knowledge was unparalleled, and like his obit states he would jump in and help *anyone* that needed it. Truly a loss to the community, not to mention his family and friends. I can see him and Don sitting together on a patio table out by a lake somewhere in heaven right now, drinking beers and having a "gentlemanly discussion". Lol.

TurboedMJ Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I like to imagine that he is in a place where every RENIX jeep is grounded properly and has no vacuum leaks. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucecooner Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Dang, I'm really sorry to hear this. He was always around, and genuinely helpful to me (and many others).

MississippiComanche Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 So sad to hear. Cruiser54 has helped me tremendously and I doubt my Comanche would be running today without the knowledge he passed down. I've been rebuilding my Jeep for my dad since he passed away 4 years ago. RIP. Cruiser please go find my dad in heaven. He'll tell you about all the work ive been doing on the Jeep.
