REID, Andrew Peter (Pete)
August 8, 1956 – September 20, 2021
Pete passed away comfortably at home on the morning of September 20th surrounded by his family. He had a long battle with gallbladder cancer and everyone who knew Pete, knew he was a fighter. Days prior to his passing, family and friends gathered around the home he had built 30 years ago and shared memories, laughter and so much love. During this time Pete made a comment “birth is so magical, why can’t death be magical too?” Just like Pete; turning a negative into a positive. Everyone who knew Pete, looked forward to his quick wit, and ability to recall stories with countless detail. No matter the individual, Pete was able to make you smile and feel like you were the most important person in the world when you were in his presence. Pete was the hardest worker and that was clearly demonstrated by the beautiful life he built around him.
Pete was a hero and will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 32 years; Sandy (nee Taylor), children Katie (Darren) & Robbie whom he had so much pride in. He will be greatly missed by his dog Jordie, cat Kudo and grand-dog Jasper. One of five children born to Fergus & Patricia Reid of Barrie, Ontario. Brother of Lesley (Bill), Rob (Patti), Ruth (Richard) & Jean (Johnny). Dear brother-in-law of Jenny & Linda (Bob) and extremely loved mother-in-law Regine Taylor. Pete will be remembered by many nieces and nephews, cousins, extended family, and countless friends.
In lieu of flowers please buy yourself or someone you love a plant to remember our hero Pete. The family wishes to extend special thanks to Cochrane Palliative Home Care, Cochrane Country Funeral Home and Dr. Sasha Lupichuk and team at the Tom Baker Cancer Center.
