(George) Peter McNeilly, aged 56, passed peacefully from this world on the evening of Friday, May 29th, 2015, in the arms of his beloved wife, Yasmin McNeilly and his daughters. He leaves behind his children: Brooklyn McNeilly, Kahlyn (Nathan Pronk), Ashlee (Randy Harms), Ethan Cowie, Lauren Cowie, Adrian McNeilly, grandson Jaxon Harms, his mother, Grace Edna McNeilly and sister Anne (Carmon Barry), along with a large extended and loving family.
Peter was devoted to his family and proud of the life he and Yasmin had built together.
Peter was truly a man of God and demonstrated this in every way he lived his life. As a Pastor and simply as the exceptional person he was, he made a difference in the lives of many and the outpouring of love during his illness and on his passing bears witness to that.
A true romantic, Peter was never known to complain. He was eternally grateful for the blessings of his life, and always had a smile and crazy song to share. Pete loved to entertain family and friends. After his regular Saturday morning forays to the Kitchener market, he would fire up his prized barbecue and the feast would be on.
Born in Croyden, England, Peter graduated from Sir John A. MacDonald High School in Scarborough, ON and continued on to receive his degree in theology from London Theological Seminary. A learner by nature, he never stopped being a student of life.
The family wishes to thank all of the wonderful doctors and health care professionals who cared for Pete as he bravely battled melanoma. Thank you in particular to Dr. David Hogg and Dr. Gregory Knight.
Visitation will be held at Ratz-Bechtel Funeral Home, 621 King Street West, Kitchener, ON N2G 1C7 (519-745-9495), on Wednesday, June 3, 2015 from 5-9 p.m.
