Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

Thomas Peter Provencher, 86, passed away peacefully, after a lengthy illness at his home in Vero Beach, FL.
Thomas was born December 1, 1939, in Blind River, Ontario, Canada to the late Nestor and Blanche Provencher. Tom was the youngest of 13 children and is survived only by his brother Henry.
Thomas was the former owner and founder of BTE West International LLC, a hard metals mining supply company he led with determination and expertise. Through his years of leadership, he built strong relationships throughout the mining industry and earned respect for his knowledge, fairness, and commitment to quality. His career spanned five decades and involved extensive travel and many relocations. His work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit were evident in everything he pursued.
A devoted member of Holy Cross Catholic Church, he lived his life grounded in faith, integrity, and service.

Known for his strength of character, steady leadership, and generous heart, he was a man who believed deeply in providing for his family and standing by his word.

Tom has been a member of our family for over 47 years. Some of my best memories are of the cottage. Tom was an early riser and loved life, he lived life to the fullest. We will miss him.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
