Obituary of Peter Kmety

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Peter on May 5, 2023, at the age of 59. He was predeceased by his parents Mary and Adam, and his sister Mary Lou. He will be deeply missed by his brothers Adam (Carla), Al (Laura), Brian, and Paul, as well as his nieces, nephews, great-niece and great-nephews.

Peter was born in Welland and lived in Niagara Falls for the last 27 years. He was a longtime, dedicated employee of both Casino Niagara and Fallsview Casino.

Peter had a passion for hockey and was a talented player. He also had a great love for cooking. However, what truly defined Peter was his kind and generous nature. He was a big-hearted friend to many, and he will be fondly remembered by those who knew him. In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.
