He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife of 28 years, Valerie (nee Lapointe) and by his sons, Marc and Vincent. He also leaves his brothers, Mike (Dorothy) and John (Jean) and his sister Katherine; as well as many close family and friends. Peter was predeceased by his parents, Nicholas and Maria Levenec; sisters, Dorothy and Sophy; and brothers-in-law, Jack and Fern. Peter was born in Vita, MB on February 27, 1946. He spent his childhood on the family farm in Sirko until he moved to Winnipeg at the age of 17. He then began his long career as an electrician. After a few years, he moved his family back to Sundown where they lived for the next 12 years. They then moved to Ile-des-Chenes where the family still resides. Peter was currently employed at Pickseed Canada and was on holidays spending special time with his wife Val at the time of his passing. Peter was known as a dedicated, hard-working and soft-spoken brother, uncle and friend. He was always there to lend a helping hand. Peters many interests and hobbies included their "cottage" in Sundown where he was the treasurer of St. Peter and Pauls Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
