Obituary: Peter Anthony Brown

Peter worked in Staines, England, until 1965, when he accepted a job at Woodfibre, immigrating to the wilds of B.C. with his young family. 

Sept. 12, 1933 to Jan. 18, 2024

It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of Peter Anthony Brown, lovingly remembered by his beloved wife, Maureen; his children, Alexandra, Phillippa (Gord), Nicola (Steve) and Adam (Sarah); grandchildren, Hannah, Rachel, Aiden, Ian and Mikayla, and daughter-in-law, Joanne. 

Peter was born and raised in Twickenham, England, where he trained as a mechanical engineer. 

After his national service, Peter worked in Staines, England, until 1965, when he accepted a job at Woodfibre, immigrating to the wilds of B.C. with his young family. 

Always an avid sportsman, Peter was well-known in the soccer community. 

He also played field hockey, badminton, and tennis, as well as swimming, marathon running and Tai chi. 

A lifelong learner, he loved reading and studying history.  Peter developed a passion for painting after retirement, travelling on many painting holidays with Maureen. 

He was thrilled to participate in the 2023 Squamish Art Walk. 

The family is sincerely grateful to Dr. Bohn and the palliative care staff for their kindness and compassionate support.

 In lieu of flowers, donations to the Squamish Hospital Foundation (CT scanner) or BC Cancer Association would be appreciated. 

A memorial service will be held at the Squamish Funeral Chapel on Feb. 9, 2024, at 1 p.m.
