It is with deep sorrow we announce that Peter Michenka passed away suddenly on Saturday, February 27, 2021 in Calgary, Alberta at the age of 75 years. Peter was born in the Czech Republic and in his early twenties moved to Calgary where he lived most of his life. In 1974, he married his long-time sweetheart Teresa.
Peter will be most remembered for his generosity, sense of humor and kind heart. He very much enjoyed hunting, camping and the great outdoors. He visited the Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Poland and was left with a deep and touching experience that he would later describe as a “profound religious encounter”. Peter was devout and strong in his Catholic faith and has supported many different charities such as the Cenacolo Community, Operation Smile, and a mission in Liberia, supporting orphaned and abandoned children. He was also generously involved in various churches and has made a great impact on many people’s lives.
Peter will be lovingly remembered by his brothers Pavel and Vojta, sisters Jana and Zdena (Josef) as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews in Canada, Czechia, Germany, and Poland.
A private Funeral Mass will be held at Our Lady Queen of Peace Polish Catholic Church, Monday, March 8, 2021. Interment will follow at Queen’s Park Cemetery.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions we are sad to announce that these services will be by invitation only. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a charity of your choice.
