He is survived by his brother Michael, wife Deborah, niece Julia and nephew Matthew. He will be missed by many more family and friends.

A graduate of Royal Roads Military College, Peter was an eclectic soul whose experiences included singing in his Laura Secord High School musical (a surprise to everyone), medieval re-enactments and swordfights, martial arts, calligraphy, writing and creating. He led a full life for such a short time. We miss you.  Source
