In Loving Memory of Knight Peter Menzies KHS

We remember with gratitude the life of Peter Francis Menzies KHS, who returned to the Lord on 10 September 2025, peacefully at home at the age of 88.

A devoted husband to the late Jane Mary, a loving father to Johanna, Elizabeth, Thomas (deceased), Richard, Sarah, and Bridget, and a cherished grandfather and great-grandfather, Peter’s life was deeply marked by faith and family.

Peter became a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre in 2013, and although retired from the Order at the time of his passing, he remained a brother in faith whose witness and generosity of spirit are fondly remembered.

His Requiem Mass was celebrated on 15 September at St Francis de Sales and All Souls Catholic Church, Devonport, surrounded by family and the faithful.

We give thanks for Peter’s years of service, his Christian witness, and the love he shared with his family and community. May the Lord now welcome him into the eternal banquet of heaven.

Requiescat in pace.
