It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Peter Thomas Price on April 22, 2025 at Lady Minto Hospital on Salt Spring Island, surrounded by a loving circle of lifelong friends and adopted family.
Peter loved life, and he expressed his gratitude for life and those he shared it with right to the end. He encouraged and supported others with every opportunity.
He is fondly remembered for his random acts of kindness to brighten peoples’ day, and the help he extended to those who needed it. His spirit and legacy as a true islander live on.
Peter was born on June 14, 1953 at St Joe’s Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. As an adventurous and hard-working young man, he worked and travelled his way across Canada arriving on Salt Spring Island in 1975. Over the next 50 years he built a life and a home on the island, leaving a lasting impact on those he encountered along the way.
Peter is survived by his brothers, Robert Bruce (Daryll) and Stanley Mitchell (June); as well as his many nieces, nephews and their children. He was predeceased by his mother Velma Rose and his brother William Wayne.
A celebration of life will take place on Peter’s birthday, June 14, 2025, at 370 Long Harbour Road starting at 2:00 pm.
