Born on September 5, 1981, in London, Ontario, Nevin embodied the spirit of dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence. Raised in a community that valued education and entrepreneurship, he attended White Oaks Public School, Arthur Ford Public School, and Saunders Secondary School, where he first participated in the Junior Achievement program. His academic journey led him to TriOS College, where he studied Information Technology, eventually securing a longstanding position at the Thames Valley District School Board.
Nevin’s commitment to service was further demonstrated when he joined the Canadian Armed Forces on March 12, 2015, as a Signal Operator in the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals at 31 Signal Regiment. Stationed at Wolseley Barracks, he excelled in deploying and maintaining communication networks crucial for both tactical and domestic operations. His military training included a wide range of specialized courses, from tactical communications to winter warfare, which he approached with the same fervor he dedicated to every aspect of his life.
A lover of the outdoors, Nevin was passionate about snowboarding, teaching every season at Blue Mountain, and exploring other hills across Ontario. His adventurous spirit was also evident in his love for motorcycles, starting with his first bike, a classic late ’90s 750 Kawasaki Ninja, at the age of 16. His physical pursuits extended to Muay Thai kickboxing, where he trained extensively across the province, though his gentle demeanor never betrayed his prowess.
Nevin’s life was marked by moments of joy and daring adventures. His brother recalls vividly, “Navi loved snowboarding. When he first started, he got his friend Mike to video record him doing tricks around town.” One particular memory stands out; a snowboarding mishap involving a bike rack, which Nevin later recounted with humour, showcasing his ability to laugh in the face of adversity.
His brother also shared a poignant moment of realization about their deep connection, “I knew I loved him, but I had no idea how much he meant to me until now.” This sentiment echoes through the family, with terms of endearment like “lumbhu” and “nevstrodaumus” fondly used to describe Nevin, reflecting his integral role in their lives.
Nevin’s profound impact extended beyond personal achievements to significant contributions within his military and civilian roles. He was honoured with the 31 Signal Regiment Commanding Officer’s Commendation, recognizing his exemplary service. His colleagues at Thames Valley District School Board and the 31 Regiment deeply valued his work ethic and dedication.
The legacy Nevin leaves behind is rich with the lives he touched through his volunteering, his protective nature, and his quiet yet impactful presence. As his family and friends remember him, they celebrate not just his life’s achievements but the warmth, laughter, and love he brought into their lives. Nevin Peter, a respected soldier, beloved brother, and cherished friend, will be deeply missed but remembered with affection and admiration by all who knew him.
“Navi was the brave one, I wouldn’t have ridden motorcycles unless it was for him. I wouldn’t have learned snowboarding unless it was for him. I thought the world of him, he’s so beautiful inside and out. I really cherish him – I hope he knew that. His mental fortitude is beyond. He regularly ran with a 30lbs weighted vest, then rode a bicycle to work in the morning, train Muay Thai after work, then have a military exercise that weekend, sign up for a military marathon in Ottawa or somewhere – was our David Goggins. I was just in awe of him. I’m so proud of who he is as a person. It just hit me, he is just like my dad – get to know my dad and you will know who my brother is.” – Avi
“Navi has a kind heart” – Anita Peter
“His love for life and all his loved ones was unconditional…His favourite time was the night when the stars would come out. He loved how peaceful and still the world felt.” – Avi c/o R
He was so adventurous, fun loving, happy go lucky. His laugh would make other people laugh.
Nevin received the Impact Certificate at Thames Valley District School Board. This award is for “significant enrichment of educational experience or well-being”. He was nominated for this by his supervisor, and the Superintendent of Business Services because of his contributions to not only his team but to the people he supported and came in contact with every day, and the recognition was supported by the Board of Trustees in October 2023. The comments submitted with the award were:
“Nevin assists many staff with IT related issues at the Education Centre who, directly or indirectly, help create a positive learning environment for students. Nevin takes the time to understand the issue, recreate it where possible, and troubleshoot to find a solution.
