Gary Gerald Peverelle

We are saddened to announce the passing of Gary Gerald Peverelle on September 14th, 2025 at Queens General Hospital with family by his side.

Gary was born in Vancouver, British Columbia., a son of the late Gerald and Lena (Gatto) Peverelle.

At the age of 18, Dad joined the Armed Forces Navy Division and was stationed in Halifax, NS. Here he met his wife, Arthena “Tina” and built their home in Lower Sackville. Dad left the navy after 12 years as he didn’t want to be away from his family.

We moved to Liverpool in 1974 where Dad began a career with Measurex within Bowater Mersey Paper Co. Ltd. Dad was eventually offered a permanent position with Bowaters as the Assistant E/E/I Supervisor and a Shift Supervisor.

Dad was a member of Liverpool Kinsmen and K40 clubs where he held numerous positions. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, serving as Grand Poobah. Dad was also very active with QCMHA in the early years as a coach and then on the Board for a few years. Dad also loved to watch his grandchildren play hockey. Dad loved his family very much. He was the King in the kitchen, loved to laugh and sip on a glass of red wine with dinner. Dad is now at peace and reunited with his family and mom.

Dad is survived by his wife Susan (nee Dyson) Liverpool, daughter Annette Killam (Mitchell), Liverpool, son Stephen (Jill) Peverelle, Hubbards, step-daughter Bonny Lyle-Chapman (Tommy) Western Head. Grandchildren, Ean (Hannah) Killam, Nate Killam, Dawson and Emberlee Peverelle. Step-grandson Josef Chapman. Great grandchildren, Tyler and Elise Killam and many nieces and nephews. Sister in law Bev Peverelle, Victoria BC.

Besides his parents, Dad was predeceased by his first wife and our Mom, Arthena (Morris), and his brother Kenneth.

Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool, NS. Funeral service will be held September 26th, at 11am at Chandlers Funeral Chapel in Liverpool. Interment will be a private family ceremony at a later date. No flowers, donations may be made to Queens General Hospital Auxiliary. Online condolences may be made below.

Thank you to the staff at Queens General for their commitment to patient care and putting a smile on Dad’s face every day.
