NEW HANOVER COUNTY — It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Peter Ulyett, who departed this world on June 25, 2025, in New Hanover, NC, at the age of 68. Born on December 18, 1956, in England, Peter lived a life filled with adventure, kindness, and humor.
Peter’s professional journey took him across the globe, working in IT and spending early parts of his career in Saudi Arabia and Italy.

His adventures abroad enriched his life and broadened his perspective, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him.
After spending years in New Jersey, Peter found solace in the serene landscapes of North Carolina upon his retirement. An avid outdoorsman, he spent countless hours fishing and camping throughout the Southeast, relishing the tranquility and beauty of nature.
Peter’s zest for life extended beyond his professional accomplishments. An enthusiastic golfer, he once achieved a hole-in-one and proudly displayed the trophy he awarded himself as a testament to this triumph. His love for games didn’t stop there; he was a skilled backgammon player and constantly on the hunt for the perfect craft beer. Darts was also a love for Peter and he never turned a challenge down from his mates to secure a bullseye.
