PETER WIGWAS Obituary
Sunrise: April 20, 1976 Sunset: September 26, 2025 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Peter Joseph Wigwas, who left us peacefully on September 26, 2025, surrounded by family at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.
Peter will be lovingly remembered by his children: Trenton, Dakota, Leila, PJ, and Rhekea, and by his forever friend and the mother of his children, Genevieve and grandchildren Rosey and Avery. He is also survived by his beloved mother, Edna Wigwas; his brothers Dondel Wigwas (Bella), Hubert Wigwas (Mertle) and Roderick, David Thompson and Waylon Green; his sisters Martina Wigwas, Valerie Wigwas (Robert), Claudette Morriseau (David Maxwell) and Krystene Green as well as many nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.
Peter was predeceased by his Father Samuel Esquega, Grandparents Paul Wigwas and Martina Wigwas, Joseph and Agnes (nee King) Esquega, Brothers Nelson Esquega, James Esquega and Leon Esquega, Uncle Peter Wigwas (Tack), his cherished cousins Irwin (Dawg) and Paul (Coocoosh).
Born and raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Peter grew up surrounded by friends and family who were drawn to his warmth and sense of humour. His creativity, humour, and generosity left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. Peter had a kind and giving heart. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and put the needs of others before his own. His love for his family was unwavering, and he was immensely proud of his children and siblings. He found happiness in making others laugh and in taking care of those close to him. Peter loved cooking and it was one of the ways he showed his love for you, he could make a meal out of anything. He especially loved cooking for his Mother and Children.
Peter's presence will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Visitation was held on Monday, September 29, 2025 from 3:00pm until 5:00pm in the EVEREST FUNERAL CHAPEL, 299 Waverley Street at Algoma Thunder Bay. Funeral Services will be held on Wednesday October 1, 2025 at 11:00am in Gull Bay First Nation at St. Kateri Roman Catholic Church, with burial to follow in the Community Cemetery.
