COLVILLE, Scott Daniel – 48, of Toronto, Ontario passed away peacefully at home on December 21, 2011 after a 15 month struggle with pancreatic cancer. Scott was born April 23, 1963 in Greenwich, Connecticut and immigrated to Middleton, Nova Scotia with his family in 1973. He was a graduate of Middleton Regional High School and Dalhousie University. After completing a degree, he moved to Switzerland to work at the JFK International School. He then moved to Ontario to begin a 25 year teaching career. He was an awesome elementary school teacher and, “Everybody loved Mr. Colville!” Scott is survived by his partner of 27 years, Perry Peters, Toronto, Ontario; his parents, Ruth and Paul Colville of Middleton, Nova Scotia; his brothers Sean (Nadine) and David (Annette); his nieces and nephews Mikaela, Nash, Justin (Ramey), Ashley, and Keegan. He is also remembered by Perry's parents, Shirley and Ellis Peters of Peterborough, Ontario; Perry’s brother Steven (Kirsi) and sister Pamela (Pat); as well as niece and nephews Nicole, Tommi, and Jacob. In addition to family, Scott had a wide and diverse group of close friends from his participation in sports and his professional life. Scott actively participated in baseball, volleyball, golf, and curling. He was passionate about the environment and loved nature. He was well travelled and enjoyed experiencing the many places and peoples of the world. Scott lived and died with few regrets; he enjoyed the life he led and was known for his gentle smile and positive attitude. With Perry by his side, Scott valiantly met the challenges that cancer presented and lived every day to the fullest. Over the 15 months Scott continued trying to live a normal life by travelling, cross country and downhill skiing, biking and going for regular walks to enjoy nature. He also spent many fine moments enjoying the company of his friends and family. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Scott's life will be held in the spring of 2012, with a date to be announced later. As Scott loved animals, a donation to any animal shelter will make his star shine brighter.
