1962 - 2024
Peter Dasilva, 62, passed away peacefully surrounded by his spouse and their adult children. Peter’s zest for life was large and love for family profound. He leaves behind, his wife Joyce, three sons, two daughters, seven grandkids & his mother Doris, sister Sandra, brother Alan.
Peter is predeceased by his father Edwin. Peter spent a 38-year career working for Northwood Pulp/Canfor. In 2019, he retired, however chose to maintain an active lifestyle. Moreso, Peter was an avid gym goer; he fished; swam and learned to free dive. He enjoyed creating “Pete’s projects” and could often be seen walking his favorite canine companion, Cruz.
Peter was a foodie, and a stylish dresser, but mostly a friend to all. When he was in public, he would usually stop to chat, to someone he just happened to know. His community connection was vast.
During the last few months of Peter’s life, he ensured that his relationship with family and friends remained strong and meaningful. Peter will be truly missed.
A service will be held at St. Mary’s Church on November 1st @3:30 PM - 1088 Gillett St. A funeral reception to follow@5 PM - 556 N. Nechako Rd. - Upstairs.
