Peter William Hoellwarth
1963-2018
With heavy hearts, the family of Peter William Hoellwarth
announce his unexpected passing on Saturday, July 14, 2018.
Born on October 25, 1963 in Montreal, Peter became
a true West Sider when his parents moved to Saint John at age 9. He
spent his youth in Greendale where he made many life-long
friends. An enterprising and hard-working young man, Peter
purchased a lawn-mower and snow-blower with his own money when he was
16 years old and began working for his neighbours who came to depend
on him. People who know Peter are not surprised to learn that both
pieces of equipment were used for almost 40
years.
Peter grew up in the Catholic faith and was a lifelong member
of St. Rose Parish, graduating from Saint Malachy’s High
School in 1981. He continued his education at the Saint John
campus of the University of New Brunswick, obtaining a Bachelor of
Business Administration. After working for a time with
Labatt’s Brewery, Peter began a career with State
Farm. As an insurance adjuster, he was well-respected for
his knowledge, professionalism, and kindness to his clients in their
time of need.
Along with his wife, Stephanie Acker Hoellwarth, Peter is
survived by his daughters, Emilee and Sarah, both at home. He is also
survived by his parents, Gunter and Theresia (VanLeuven) Hoellwarth of
West Saint John; his sisters Nora (Kevin) Boudreau of Quispamsis and
Ingrid (Graham) Rossiter of Kansas; Stephanie’s parents, Dr.
John and Rosalee (Richard) Acker of Rothesay; sisters in law Jennifer
(Freddie) Claro of Japan, Heidi (Kevin) White of Saint John, Wendi
(Thumper) McDonald of Darling’s Island, and brother in law
Chris Acker of Quispamsis; nieces and nephews Jessica and Josh
Boudreau, Brandon and Tristan Claro, Jessica and Jenny Acker, Jack and
Nick White, and Oliver and Evelyn McDonald.
Peter’s family wish to extend their thanks and
appreciation to the members of the Saint John Police Force, Saint John
Fire Department, RCMP, ground search and rescue teams from all over
New Brunswick, and the hundreds of volunteers for their efforts. The
goodwill, kindness, love and affection shown to the family will not be
forgotten.
Arrangements are under the care of
Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint
John, (634-7424) with visiting on July 23, 2018 from 2
to 8 pm. A Mass of Christian Burial and Celebration of
Peter’s Life will take place at St Matthew’s
Catholic Church, 45 Dollard Street, on July 24, 2018 at 11
am. Family flowers only. Please make a donation in
Peter’s memory to the Charlotte County Ground Search and
Rescue team.
