Peter passed away peacefully at home Friday, February 20, 2015 at the age of 82 years.

Peter's memory will be forever cherished by his loving family, Jan (Don) Beahm of Weyburn, SK and their family Justin (Vanessa) and infant daughter Madelyn, Kristin (Brennan) Miller and Janine; Cindy (Lorne) Cloke of Saskatoon, SK and their family Lavonne, Malary and Everett; Rodney (Karen) Miiller of Estevan, SK and their family Lane and Dallas; brothers, Ralph Muller and Leonard (Lois) Miiller; sisters, Rose Ehrmantraut, Barbara (Arnie) Zimmerman, Mary (Emile) Marcotte, Agnes (Clem) Marcotte and Eileen Schuster; brothers-in-law, Ron St. Onge, Lyle Peterman; sister-in-law Joyce Fonstad.

Peter was predeceased by his wife Kay and parents, Aloysius and Pauline Miiller and family members, Wendel and Pauline Ereth, John Muller, George Ehrmantraut, Margaret St. Onge, Ernie Schuster, Ron Miiller (in infancy), Selmer and Dorothy Fonstad, Emil and Jean Swenson, Martin Fonstad, Norman and Carol Mossing and Aggie Peterman.

Peter Miiller was born February 16, 1933 on the family farm near Torquay and was the sixth child of 11 siblings. He attended Lucky School and at a very young age, helped out with many chores around the farm. When he was twelve years old his family moved to Torquay. His dad built a service station and Peter worked in the garage before and after school and thus began his lifelong interest of ‘fixing things’. After completing school he spent time at various jobs including the oilrigs, operating the White Rose Service Station and then managing the Co-op Service Station- both in Estevan. In 1963, Peter began his 32 year career with John Deere. Having earned his journeyman mechanic certificate, he became well known around the shop for his customer service and expertise.

Peter met Kay Fonstad when he was driving the school bus and they were married in Nov. 1959. Together they made their home in Estevan where they raised three children: Jan, Cindy and Rodney. Peter and Kay valued home life and the Miiller residence was a welcome place for all. They had a strong community at Trinity Lutheran Church: Peter served on council and other committees throughout the years, attending his last meeting the night before he passed.

Peter and Kay also enjoyed travelling, camping in the summer, then annual trips to Arizona in the winter. When Kay was diagnosed with cancer in 2008, Peter became her pillar, caring for her in failing health and always remaining positive. After Kay passed in Nov. 2010, Peter was determined to maintain family traditions. He regularly called each of his kids, his 8 grandchildren and their spouses. He was the person they called for advice and of course was their local fix-it man.

In December 2013, Peter was thrilled to be a Great Grandpa. He was so proud of his tiny 1 lb 5 oz great granddaughter and her determination to live. On his 82nd birthday, he was laughing and smiling at her as she helped herself to his birthday cake.

Peter was not one to sit idle; he continued to volunteer tirelessly at the church, the bible camp, and condo board at his home. He was known at Valley Crest Homes for his quick wit and for being the go-to-guy for almost anything. He worked for Kleiman Enterprises Ltd. until his passing and developed a strong friendship with Jack and Harvey. Full retirement was never part of his plan and his last hours of work at the farm were recorded on his calendar February 10th.

Peter lived life to the fullest. He was a kind man with a positive outlook. He had boundless energy for fun and games, an exceptional work ethic and was more than willing to help anyone, whenever or wherever needed. He was a humble, faithful servant. The deep love and respect he had for his family will be etched in their memory forever.
