Peter Hendrix Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of Petrus Antonius Maria Hendrix announces his unexpected passing on February 25, 2017, surrounded by those he loved. Born in Delft, the Netherlands on June 7, 1961, Peter leaves behind his loving wife of 16 years Trudy, children Courtney (23), Danny (19, Veendam, the Netherlands), Devon (18), Claire (9), Layla (8), and sister Marie-Christine (Delft, the Netherlands). He was predeceased by his mother and father, Clara and Toin (Delft, the Netherlands). Peter moved to Canada in 2001 to join his sweetheart Trudy and they lived most of their life in Brentwood Bay. He was a valued RBC employee for all of his years in Canada, and very active and loved in our church where he was the worship leader. Loving husband, father, brother, mentor, friend, colleague, guitar player, musician, singer and bourgondier, Peter loved the Lord and has now achieved the ultimate goal of everlasting life with Him. He is no longer tuning his instrument but sings in perfect harmony around the throne. Special thanks to the staff and volunteers in the Palliative Care Unit at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital for taking such wonderful care of us for the past month. A Celebration of Life memorial service will be held at Peninsula Mission Community Church, 9300 Willingdon Rd, North Saanich on Sunday March 12th at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations in Peter's memory may be made to the Palliative Care Unit at Saanich Peninsula Hospital.

I met Peter at the RBC in the early-mid 2000's. I was there to close my accounts but he straightened everything out and I left happy. From then on I'd pop in and say hi when I was in the neighborhood... Sidney too. He spoke highly of his family and his passion for the guitar. I miss him. He was a nice guy.

Trudy and Family, I met Peter twice, briefly, as well as listening to Layla speak of her beloved Father. I was left with the impression of a wonderful, loving man who adored his family and children. He always seemed to be smiling and happy. He has left a wonderful legacy with these happy memories and joyous times in his company. Peter will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

My thoughts are with Trudy and family. Peter and I shared a love and frustration for International Dutch football and a love and admiration for Queen. Many pleasant conversations about the band and their music. "Any way the wind blows"...say hi to Freddie up there. Peter, you will be missed.

So very shocked to read of Peter's passing. I was one of his clients. A great man with a big heart and a lovely sense of humour. To his family left behind, he loved you very much and always mentioned you.
my very best to you Trudy and you lovely children. Jillian Carson, physiotherapist , Saanichton

Peter started his RBC career at RBC Broadmead. It was a pleasure to know and work with him. One of my favourite memories is his Starbuck's drink order...I still smile when I think about how many additions to his coffee to make it his own!

Oh, Peter wat zullen we je allemaal missen!Je hebt echt je stempel gezet in het leven. We werden dan ook echt altijd opgebeurt door je aantrekkelijke glimlach al die jaren in RBC. Bedankt voor je inlichtingen en steun. Je was een getuigenis zonder tweifel , door al de moeilijkheden heen. Jammer voor je vrouw en kinderen dat je zoo ontijdig voor hun moest heengaaan. We weten natuurlijk dat voor God gebeurt alles op z'n tijd; er is geen ontijdigheid met Hem. We bidden dan ook voor hun, dat ze worden opgebeurt en gesteunt door onze Hemelse Vader.

Oh Peter... you will be so sorely missed by so many! You have left your mark' and we have been graced with your smile for so many years at the RBC. Thank you for guidance and support. You were a testament and you never wavered in your faith through it all as you leave your wife and children behind so prematurely ... we pray for healing and peace in their lives and that they will be comforted in their loss.

Our deepest condolences to Trudy and family. Peter will be sorely missed. The last time we saw him was at a concert, with a huge beaming smile on his face, enjoying life. That's how I will remember Peter.
