KAUKOLA, Peter

Peter Kaukola passed away peacefully on Monday, September 28, 2026, in his 79th year.

Born November 30, 1946 in Finland, Peter is survived by his loving wife, Heather Sewell, whose companionship, love, and devotion brought him great happiness throughout their years together.

He will be deeply missed by his step-sons, Adam Sewell (Tracey McNamara) and Shane Sewell (Caly Sewell), and by his cherished grandsons, Tyler Sewell and Michael Sewell; and by his brothers, David Kaukola (Bonni-Lyn Anderson), Aulis Kaukola, and Ken Kaukola, and his sister Terttu Kaukola- Brien.

Through their businesses in Elmvale including the local community hotspot the Main Street Market Bazaar, and their passion for buying and selling antiques, Peter and Heather became well known and well loved by local residents.

Peter will be remembered for his warmth, generosity, quick wit, and kind heart. He had a unique gift for making everyone feel welcome and valued. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff at Chartwell-Tiffin, Sara Vista Long Term Care Centre and the dedicated healthcare teams at Georgian Bay General Hospital for the exceptional care, professionalism, kindness, and dignity they provided not only to Peter, but also to his family over the past few years.
