Funeral Notices

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Peter Alexander Hinkley, a beloved son, devoted husband, and cherished friend, who departed this life on October 28, 2024, in Crawford, Queensland. Peter was born on November 4, 1955, in the vibrant city of Brisbane, Queensland, bringing joy and laughter into the lives of everyone who knew him.

Peter was the treasured son of Robert and Joyce Hinkley, who instilled in him the values of hard work, kindness, and integrity. These values would shape his life and guide his many endeavors. As a young man, he embraced the beauty and demands of rural life, carving out a career as a farmer. However, Peter was a true jack-of-all-trades, never afraid to try his hand at something new, and always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.

In the heart of Calamvale, Queensland, Peter found the love of his life, Kaye. They were married when Peter was 44, marking the beginning of a beautiful partnership. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and countless memories.

Peter's warm spirit and generous nature touched everyone he met. His laughter was infectious, and his stories, often told with a twinkle in his eye, could light up any room. Whether working the land or sharing a quiet moment with friends, Peter lived his life with passion and purpose.

Peter is survived by his beloved wife, Kaye, who was his steadfast companion and greatest supporter. Her unwavering love and devotion were the cornerstone of Peter's life, and together, they exemplified a partnership filled with mutual respect and deep affection.

A funeral service to honor Peter's life will be held at the Killick Family Funerals Chapel on November 6, 2024, at 11:00 AM. All who knew and loved Peter are invited to attend and celebrate the remarkable life he led. Peter's family ask those that are attending to wear country colors. Following the service, Peter's family would like to invite you to a further reflection time with light refreshments in the adjacent catering lounge. It will be a time to share stories, remember his kindness, and find comfort in the community of those who loved him.

Peter Alexander Hinkley leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and joy. Though our hearts are heavy with his loss, we are comforted by the indelible memories he has left with us. His spirit will forever be a guiding light to those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
