Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryPETER (BEAVER) JOSEPH PILON July 12, 1953 - March 15, 2013 It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Father, Grandpa, Brother, Uncle and Friend on March 15, 2013 at the age of 59. Peter was born on July 12, 1953 and grew up in St. Vital. He will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Lisa (Chad), sons Mark (Cathy) and Derek (Lendre), grandchildren Emma and Noah, and numerous family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents and one brother. Beaver was the most loving Father, Grandpa and Friend to all. Beaver's passion was cars, stock car and drag racing. He was a member of the Double Fours Car Club and loved watching his friends race at Winnipeg Speedway. When he was younger he worked at Red Top Car Wash, Varta Batteries and then found himself at MacDon Industries for 17 years. He loved to play hockey and baseball which now carries on through his children and grandchildren. Dad always had stories and talked about the days spent at Manitowagan fishing with Roy and friends and also enjoyed cheering on his favourite hockey team, the Habs. His grandchildren lit up his eyes every time they entered the room; he was a proud Grandpa. There wasn't anyone in the world he wouldn't help if they needed him and nothing he couldn't fix. He was loved by all who knew him. A celebration of his life will be held in his honour at Desjardins Funeral Chapel, 357 DesMeurons Street on Tuesday, March 26 at 2:00 p.m. "Dad saying goodbye is truly the hardest thing that we ever have to do, but we know that you are in a better place. Until we meet again. Love you NOW, ALWAYS and FOREVER...xoxo" Desjardins 233-4949 1-888-233-4949 www.desjardinsfuneralchapel.ca

Dad, its been 6 years since you suddenly left us and no, the pain doesn't get easier. I long to talk to you and tell you about the kids and life. I found myself thinking about our last conversation and how I wish I can turn back time. I wish a lot of things. I hope you are doing well up there! I love you NOW, ALWAYS and FOREVER. Until we meet again. xoxo - Posted by: Lisa (daughter) on: Mar 25, 2019

Dad, it was a weird week last week. I picked up the phone and actually dialed your number only to get an out of service message and for a split second couldn't figure out why. Then of course it dawned on me. I just really wanted to talk to you. I miss you so much and this week had a VERY heavy heart. Still not getting easier.... You are missed so very much. I love you NOW, ALWAYS and FOREVER. Until we meet again. xoxo - Posted by: Lisa (Daughter) on: Oct 17, 2018

Dad, it's now been 5 years today that you left us. The pain doesn't get better. I think of you all the time, wishing I can talk to you or see you. I still think about things and if there was something that I could have done to prevent this. I have a very heavy heart and a lot of pain. The kids are growing up fast and I find us in a lot of conversations of past memories about you. I watch their hockey games and think of how proud you would be of them. I miss you so immensely no words can even express it. I keep thinking that maybe one day it will get easier, but I am not there yet. You are missed so very much. I love you NOW, ALWAYS and FOREVER. Until we meet again. xoxo - Posted by: Lisa (Daughter) on: Mar 15, 2018

Dad, I can not believe it is 4 years today that you left us, it seems just like yesterday. I miss you so much and still catch myself dialing your number to tell you about the kids hockey or just about my day. I miss your voice and your laugh and still have a huge hole in my heart. Words can not express the deep pain I still feel. You are missed so very much. I love you NOW, ALWAYS and FOREVER. Until we meet again. xoxo - Posted by: Lisa (Daughter) on: Mar 15, 2017

While I am known as Bones to all, Uncle Beav always referred to me as My Boy. It was a common nickname to most I later found out. But when he called me that he made it as if I was the only boy in the world. He always made me feel special. But he was the special one. I'll never forget trips to The Ex every year with him. Truly defined the word Uncle ! It will never be the same without him in the game - Posted by: Shawn 'BONES' Twan Pilon (Nephew) on: Mar 20, 2016

While growing up with my 2 older bros, I always looked forward to going to my Grampa's house where I would hook up with Uncle Beaver. The Beav he called himself and anointed me with the nickname 'SHORTCUT'. He was quite the character who brought many, many laughs into my life. Uncle Beav you will be missed. - Posted by: Ken D Pilon (nephew) on: Nov 13, 2013

So very sorry to have heard of Beaver's passing. We have so many memories of socials at Glenlee, his love of anything Elvis, our trip to California together in the 70's, and hanging out at the "Dub" on St. Anne's Rd. to name a few. Lisa, Derek, and Mark, please accept our sincere sympathy, and hope you can take comfort in knowing that you're in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. - Posted by: Roger and Sharon Hogue (Friends) on: Mar 26, 2013

Much of my youth has strong memories associated with Uncle Beaver. He was just a great uncle who always took the time to take me to all the fun places when I was growing up. My 1st WPG JET (WHA) game I attended with him. I always looked forward to the calls from him for sleepovers which included pizza and Pepsi- always were a staple. I am going to miss him so much. Love you Uncle Beav! - Posted by: WAYNE J PILON (NEPHEW) on: Mar 25, 2013
