It felt important to take a moment and honour my cousin, Peter.

As adults, life has a way of creating distance. Whether it was exchanging messages about work when he was considering a joc change, or hearing updates from Aunt Nancy about what he was up to, every glimpse into his life was a reminder that he was out there living it fully. The updates, and the stories passed along through family all painted a picture of someone who made the most of his time here.

Peter, your life was a beautiful one. I'm proud to have been your cousin, and I'll carry your memory with me.

To Peter's Family,

I am incredibly sorry for your loss, Pete was a really special person and someone that is very dear to my heart. I met Pete online close to 15 years ago and we quickly bonded over a shared passion for video games, food, cooking, technology and more. I spoke to Pete every day for the past decade+ and what began as a casual friendship grew into one of the most important relationships in my life. Pete was incredibly smart and insightful and he always was the voice of rationality when I needed it most. I will think about him every time I have a good meal, see a cool BMW on the road or listen to a great song i know he would like.

I am deeply sorry for your loss and I will never forget Pete; he will always occupy a place of love in my heart.

Dear Kent, Sandy, and Cam,

We were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your beloved Peter. Please know that your family is very much in our thoughts during this unimaginably difficult time.

To lose a child and a brother so suddenly is a heartbreak no family should have to endure. We cannot begin to understand the depth of your grief, but we wanted to reach out and send our most sincere condolences.

We are holding you all close in our hearts and sending you strength as you navigate this profound loss together.

With deepest sympathy,

John, Anna, Felicia, and Bridget

Dear Kent and Sandy,

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Peter. I can't imagine what you must be feeling and hope that you're feeling supported and not alone. I've been thinking of you two a lot since I heard and send along my condolences and well wishes. Take care.

It is with unspeakable sadness that we hear the news of Peter passing. We have so many great memories of Peter from childhood camping trips, dinners and visiting . Even though it was many years ago, we remember his contagious enthusiasm and energy. The world has lost a bright light much too soon. Our thoughts are with the loving family he left behind. Just know that we are thinking of you at this time of unimaginable loss. He will be missed by everyone whose life he touched. We are grateful for the wonderful times we shared together.

This was utterly shocking news. Peter was taken far too young. Life just isn't fair sometimes. We hope you are coping well in what must be one of the darkest and most difficult periods of your life. Nothing we can say will make that grief go away, but hopefully the memories you clearly continue to cherish will help to blunt some of the sadness. You have all our love and sympathy, and if we can ever do anything to help, or you just need a friendly shoulder, don't hesitate to reach out.

Dear Kent, Sandy and Cameron,

No words can quell your grief in the loss of Peter. The depth of your sorrow reflects how much love you were blessed to share with him, and I hope that in time you can cherish and find some warmth in the bounty of great memories that will never leave. You have a community of friends and colleagues who love you and are here for you, me included.

Deepest condolences to you all.

Sincerely Andrew, Allison, and family

Shelley and I send our deepest condolences to Sandy, Kent and Cameron on the loss of your son /brother Peter.

We first met Peter when he joined the junior curling at the Charleswood club and played on a team with our son Chris along his brother Cameron. Now Peter and Chris enjoyed the social aspect of the game much to the annoyance of Cameron who eventually kicked them off his team. But the two boys got there revenge and were so happy when their new team managed a miracle win against big brother Cameron.

We had many camping trips with the Hayglasses and one thing we remember is the day Cameron was so proud of the beautiful chocolate cake he had made for supper. Well Peter and Chris just had to do something about that and proceeded to use their fingers to remove all the icing off the cake much to the chagrin of Cameron.

On a trip to the Dominican Republic we hooked up with the Hayglasses to enjoy a well earned vacation. This was the first time at an all inclusive for Peter and Chris who realized that they could have all the virgin Pina Colada they could drink....which turned out to be a LOT. Apparently a person can only handle so much of a good thing before reacting in a violent and unsettling manner,

Peter was a fine young man who will be missed by his family and friends.

we are sorry for your loss. Please accept our sincere condolence..

Dear Sandy and Kent

Watching the video proves that you gave Peter the best life that he got to share with his big brother Cam. Keep those memories close to your heart so he will remain with you.

Peter,

A life cut short, but a life well lived.

Growing up, you and the family would come visit and stay with us every other Christmas holiday. You (and the fam) gifted us our very first computer and showed me how to use Paint. As your younger cousins, Carolyn and I probably drove you crazy, constantly asking you to play outside with us or read us books. But if we did, you never showed it.

When I was 10, we took our first vacation to come visit you in Winnipeg. We went camping—my first time—in the camper, and it was one of the best summer vacations I’ve ever had. Always insisting I was grown up, I packed my own suitcase for the trip and didn’t realize the drastic temperature difference between southern Ontario and Winnipeg. You lent me a grey and green West 49 sweater to wear on the camping trip and let me keep it when we left to return to Ontario. That sweater is still hanging in my closet at my parents’ house.

As a teenager, you introduced me to new bands like Tool, Muse, Bad Religion, and Broken Social Scene. I’ll think of you always when I listen to them now.

Thank you for all the memories, the music, the laughs, and the little things that I’ll carry with me forever.

See you on the other side.

Alyssa
