Tyler James Main

April 29, 1994 - December 22, 2024

It is with extremely heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Tyler James Main on Sunday, December 22nd, 2024, in beautiful Seguin. Tyler is a very loved son, brother, grandson, fiancé, nephew, cousin, son-in-law to be, and a friend to many. Tyler is survived by his parents, Shelley and Doug; sister, Jennifer; Grandma, Teresa; and his fiancé, Jayde De Brito.

Tyler was born in Switzerland and was raised in St. Albert, Alberta and Whitby, Ontario. He graduated from the University of Guelph in 2017 with a degree in Landscape Architecture and successfully managed his own Landscape Architecture firm (HKLA) in Pickering, Ontario since 2020.

Tyler was fearless to a fault and lived life large over his 30 years. He always sought adventure and travel with family and friends. Tyler loved the outdoors, enjoying skiing, camping, water sports, golf, campfires, and having a pint with friends. Tyler was recently engaged to his soulmate, Jayde De Brito, with plans to wed in July 2025. While Tyler left us much too early, he would encourage us all to continue learning, growing, and experiencing life. He will never be forgotten and will always be in our hearts.

In lieu of flowers, please plant a tree in Tyler’s memory through A Living Tribute Canada.

Yvonne Marie Gilliland (nee O'Reilly), fondly known as "Bonnie," passed away peacefully with family by her side at Hillsdale Terraces on Friday, December 20, 2024, at the age of 89.

Predeceased by her beloved husband, Bruce Gilliland, she was the loving mother of Cindy Ouellette (Robert), Mark (Lucille), Colleen Hudson (Mark), and the late Sharon Rose.

Bonnie will be remembered for her kindness, selflessness, and sweet nature. Her humor and notorious one-liners brought smiles to everyone she met. She delighted in sharing comical and endearing stories of her childhood, and her grandchildren often encouraged her to "write a book." Bonnie cherished her memories of growing up in Lindsay with her siblings.

A true animal lover, she enjoyed feeding backyard birds and squirrels and found comfort with one of her beloved cats curled up in her lap. Bonnie was an avid letter writer, often penning a dozen or more letters weekly, including notes to authors, correspondence with royalty, and heartfelt messages to loved ones near and far.

Bonnie was immensely proud of her Irish heritage, devoted to her faith, and found joy in the simplest pleasures—especially cake. After 62 years of marriage, she deeply missed her husband, Bruce, and often spoke of being reunited with her loved ones.

A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Mary of the People Catholic Church (570 Marion Ave, Oshawa) on Saturday, December 28, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. Interment will follow at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery in Whitby. Arrangements are entrusted to Oshawa Funeral Home, 847 King Street West (905-721-1234).

Peter Adamkovics

September 24, 1962 – December 4, 2024

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Peter Adamkovics on December 4, 2024, at the age of 62 in Gilbert, AZ.

Peter was a beloved son, brother, brother-in-law, loyal friend, and talented musician. Raised in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, he earned a Bachelor of Commerce degree from McMaster University. In 1990, Peter moved to the West Coast of Canada and retired from Telus in 2015 after 25 years of dedicated service. After retirement, he split his time between the Vancouver, BC area and Gilbert, AZ.

Peter is survived by his mother, Yvette Adamkovics, younger sister, Deborah Gates, and brother-in-law, Derek Gates.

Peter's warmth, kindness, courage, and musical talents touched many lives. He was a loyal friend who cherished lifelong friendships. His love for his family was profound, and after his father's passing in 2017, he lived with his mother, becoming her soulmate and constant companion.

Peter's passion for music was unparalleled. His first love was the guitar, followed by the drums and piano. He had a remarkable gift for music, able to learn songs by ear without needing sheet music. He felt the magic in every chord and key.

In May 2024, Peter was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He courageously fought the disease, undergoing 12 rounds of successful chemotherapy. Despite his valiant efforts, Peter passed away due to complications from a procedure.

Peter was described by those who met him as a kind soul. He will forever be in our hearts and greatly missed by his family, friends, and extended family from Hungary. His legacy of love, music, and friendship will continue to inspire all who knew him.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to be made to the Cancer Research Institute in Peter's memory.
