Peter B. Ianni, Jr., 72, of Brick, passed away on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. Born in Bronx, NY, he spent time living in Santa Barbara, CA, before returning to New Jersey in 1982. He resided in Neptune before moving to Brick 28 years ago.

Peter spent much of his career in car sales and also pursued entrepreneurial ventures. Though he had been retired for the past 20 years, he was always happiest when surrounded by family. He often enjoyed talking about his time living in Santa Barbara, California, and his love for the warm weather and waters.

Peter enjoyed music, dancing, and gardening. He cherished the time spent with his family and was especially proud of the legacy he built with his loving wife of 49 years, Jean. He especially loved talking about his grandchildren to anyone who would listen. His devotion as a husband, father, and grandfather will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Peter is survived by his beloved wife Jean, his daughter Andrea Hennessy and her husband Christopher of Purcellville, VA, and three sisters: Linda Croddick, Madeline Weber, and Joanne Smoyak, all of Palmetto, FL. He leaves behind two adored grandchildren, Lucy Jean Hennessy and Evelyn Arezou Hennessy, along with many extended family members.

A memorial service to celebrate Peter’s life will be held at a later date.
