Peter WALKLEY Obituary

Published by Cowichan Valley Citizen from Jul. 30 to Aug. 1, 2014.
WALKLEY, Peter May 21, 1971 - July 22, 2014 It is with heavy hearts and overwhelming sadness that we announce the tragic, sudden passing of Peter Walkley. Survived by his loving wife of eleven years Trudi and their dogs Caspar and Wilson, grandmother Beryl, parents Michael and Margot, sister Dawn (Dave), nephew Michael, niece Samantha, in-laws Sharyn and Edde and brother -in-law Jason, many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family in England and his many, many friends. Born in Portsmouth , England, Peter emigrated to Canada in 1977 with his family. Peter excelled in school where he participated in many activities and graduated High School in Calgary with honours. Peter subsequently graduated from the University of Victoria with a B.Sc in Computer Science, and spent many years working in a variety of high-tech companies as a software developer. Peter was an avid model railroader, enjoyed spending time on his boat and camping, loved his dogs and most importantly treasured time with his family. Throughout his life, Peter faced many enormous challenges. He demonstrated determination, perseverance and spirit in overcoming so many obstacles, which together with his wonderful sense of humour, earned him the respect of everybody and made him many friends. Peter's achievements were an inspiration to all the people whose lives he touched. We will never forget him, we will always love him and we will miss him every day of our lives. A Private Funeral Service will be held on August 1st, 2014 at 1:00pm, at First Memorial Funeral Services, 375 Brae Road, Duncan, BC.

It's a tremendous blessing to be a friend of Peter. I met Peter at Burnaby North Baptist, and he was somebody that was easy to love. He was funny, intelligent, honest, and caring. He loved his family, the church and the Lord. We both shared the same profession, and Peter was generous in sharing his knowledge. The happiest I've ever seen Peter was when he came back from the UK and told me about Trudi - the answer to Peter's prayer and faith. Our heart breaks for you, Trudi. We're praying for you and the rest of Peter's family. Peter, I look forward to the day I will see you again.

Peter was a friend to everyone he met. His laugh was infectious, and he was always patient in conversation with others. He lit up a room with his cheeky grin, and had a wonderful, positive attitude, even in the face of life's struggles. No one has been, or ever will be, quite like Peter. You will be missed, my friend. To Trudi and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this terrible time.

I remember the times my husband, Carl, and I spent with Peter. He was a gentle person, full of God's grace. The very first time I recall being with Peter was when we heard he needed help to put up his new shower curtains. His apartment
was not far from our home and he often rode to church with us. He was always joyful and a great overcomer! Jean Peterson
