Peter "Pete" Michael Medhurst, a 20-year resident of Churchton, Maryland, passed away on January 20, 2025 following a three-month battle with brain cancer. The lifelong resident of southern Anne Arundel County was 55 years old.
Pete was born on January 5, 1970 in Suitland, Maryland and raised in Harwood by his grandparents, Pete and Margaret Medhurst. He was a 1987 graduate of Southern High, where he played football and baseball and was a manager for boys basketball.
Pete grew up dreaming of becoming a radio broadcaster and through hard work and determination became one of the country's best. He worked for the Naval Academy Athletic Association for 28 years and became known as the "Voice of Navy Athletics."
Pete held a wide range of roles in the Baltimore-Washington media market, covering the Washington Nationals for 106.7 The Fan and the Baltimore Ravens for WBAL News Radio. He was the longtime track announcer at Rosecroft Raceway and an assistant sports supervisor for the Anne Arundel County Recreation and Parks Department.
Pete also found time to work as a basketball official and baseball umpire. He enjoyed volunteering in the community and was a recreation coach with both the Shady Side and South County Youth Athletics organizations.
Pete had an innate passion for everything about sports and loved playing golf and watching sports of all kinds, especially horse racing.
Above all, family meant the world to Pete and he found great enjoyment in combining his love for sports and family by watching his children's sporting events and coaching them.
Pete loved spending down time at home with his dog Bella, cat Shady and most of all his beloved family and friends.
Pete is survived by his wife of 27 years Brenda Medhurst and their three children - Ryan Joyce of Churchton, Cody Joyce (Jamie) of Damascus and Kelly Medhurst of Churchton.
