David was a true friend of rare character who treated everyone as his brother and right to the end was concerned about helping others.

    We were so blessed to call you our son, brother and father, but on Monday November 12 at 7pm after a tragic single vehicle accident which occured on October 27. At the age of 42, Peter succumbed to his injuries with his loving family by his bedside. Peter will forever be missed by his beautiful children Layla and Dylan Molnar and their mother Laura. Loved with an unending love by his supportive parents Peter and Marg Molnar, sister and brother-in-law Susan and Jerry Veens, niece and nephew Rachel and Nicholas, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins and his abundance of friends will always miss him. Peter followed in his father’s footsteps and became an ironworker and any opportunity Peter and his dad had they would share stories of their trade. Above everything, Peter’s life was dedicated to his children Layla and Dylan. Peter worked hard and played hard and those who knew Peter knew he could cheer up a crowd with his contagious laugh. He loved life, loved his music, his family and his friends and would drop anything to help a friend in need. Peter was a lover, a fighter and the best friend a person could have. https://gilpinfuneralchapel.com/book-of-memories/3654990/Molnar-Peter/service-details.php
