Peter Joseph Mootz

Peter, age 54, a lifelong resident of San Mateo, peacefully passed away on July 27, 2022. Pete was known to many in the public safety community for his work as a media “stringer” providing still photography and video reporting to local and national news outlets. He was best known as “Action Photo One”. This business brought him into close contact with first responders, many of whom became good friends. His skilled photography earned him several awards.

One of Pete’s greatest passions was training German Shepherd dogs. He won many K-9 competitions. Pete valued the many friends who provided him great companionship and support, including those in the police and fire departments.

Pete was preceded in death by his father, Joseph, and is survived by his mother, Yvonne, brother John (Alison), and sisters Kathy Nelson (Mike), Denise Kohlmann (Gerry), and Terry

Kammerer (Rod) and many nieces and nephews. Pete will always be remembered as a kindhearted and generous son, brother, uncle, friend, and dog lover. At Pete’s request, there will be a private service. In lieu of flowers, consider donating to a charity of your choice.
