It is with profound sadness that we announce the December 17, 2025 passing of Peter John Worthington of Riverview. Surrounded by those who loved him the most, Peter left this world a better place because of his presence.

He was so lucky to be born into the loving home of Tom and Betty Worthington (née Phillips).
While his siblings really wanted a puppy, Lee Torvi (Gerry), Elaine McGlenister (Mike), Dave (Mary Beth), and Scott (Janet) welcomed their little brother into their family.

Peter will be forever loved and missed by his partner Karen Gagnon with whom he shared 20 of his happiest years, his children Patricia LeBlanc (Andrew) and Sergeant James Worthington (Christina), his stepchildren Adam Gagnon (Karine) and Kristen Gagnon, and his sister-in-law Pam Hunter.

While the majority of his career was spent working as a regional manager for Day & Ross Dedicated, his greatest and most loved role in life was that of Grandad to Amelia (Patricia’s), Austin (James’), Félix (Adam’s), Zaiden, Kian, and Aurora (Kristen’s). 
He was the BEST Grandad and so proud of each of them.

Peter was an avid golfer, stamp collector, and consistently disappointed Maple Leafs fan.

Besides his parents, Peter was predeceased by his loving wife Jayne (née Hunter) to whom he was a devoted husband for twenty one years.

As per Peter’s wishes, the family will be receiving relatives and friends on Sunday, December 21, 2025, from 1:00pm - 3:00 p.m. at Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Centre, 330 Whitepine Road, Riverview (506-869-2007). A private family casting ceremony will take place in the spring at one of Peter’s favourite places. Donations in his memory may be made to a charity of choice.

Peter and Karen would like to thank:

The amazing team of doctors, nurses, and support staff who helped care for him during his illness.
Tim and Judy Dignard for the many drives to medical appointments, fresh baking, and help around the home.
Kristen for many drives, running errands, and dog sitting during long chemo days.
James, Adam, Andrew, and Zaiden for many hours of work in the yard, pool, and deck.
Patricia for homemade soups, cookies, and pie. 
Our neighbours Sheryl (Sue) and Barry for spontaneously mowing our front lawn. 
All the grandkids and all their parents for the crafts, pictures, visits, and videos to make us smile throughout this journey.
