Read More	Gerald Barkman (My beloved husband, my dear son, and our youngest brother, Gerald Edward Barkman, was born July 26, 1961, to Ed and Rosella Barkman at St. Boniface, Manitoba. He was called to his heavenly home through a tragic accident on October 28, 1983, reaching the age of 22 years, 3 months, and 2 days. It is hard to grasp the reality of the startling swiftness which ended his vibrant life. His first twelve years were spent in the Greenland, Manitoba, community until the family moved to the Swan River Valley in March, 1974, which was his home until his death. At the age of thirteen he yielded his life to the Saviour and was baptized on December 18, 1974, into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, by Min. Walter Goossen, remaining faithful to the end. He had a concern for souls, often praying for the lost. He was always ready to help in the congregation. He enjoyed singing and was ready to do his part. On August 6, 1982, he was married to me, Cynthia Bartel, daughter of Eldon and Paulina Bartel. We shared our happy life together for nearly fifteen months. He was a very loving, considerate, and understanding husband. The deep love we had for each other makes this parting very painful. Gerald had a cheerful, loving disposition, enjoying life to the fullest. The last while he seemed especially happy. He made many friends, young and old, through the personal attention he gave to others. He took time for anyone. Gerald had a gift of patience, also making him talented in repairs. We appreciate how he kept spiritual and natural things in order. The loss of his father two and one-half years ago gave him added responsibility, which he shouldered faithfully. He often took his father for an example. Together with his brother Galen, he took over his father's farm and the responsibility of looking after Mother. It is hard to accept his death when life was brimming with promise. Though we cannot understand, we trust the Lord knew best. We are thankful for these few short years we could share and have many happy memories which we shall often treasure. Our grief is eased by the confidence that he is resting in peace with our heavenly Father. He leaves to mourn: his wife, Cindy; his mother, Rosella Barkman, Kenville; four brothers: Weston and Wilma, Swan River; Dennis and Carol, Kenville; David and Karen, Landmark; Galen and Charlene, Kenville; six sisters: Judy and Stan Nikkel, Inman, Kansas; Lois and Marvin Warkentin, Grandview; Kathy and Howard Penner, Hyas, Saskatchewan; Darlene and Gordon Harris, Winnipeg; Glenna and Les Giesbrecht, Elama; Ruth and James Bartel, Benito; grandmother, Mrs. John J. Barkman, Maplewood Manor, Steinbach; twenty-two nieces and nephews; and many relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his father, Ed P. Barkman. Funeral services were held at Swan Valley Mennonite Church, Swan River, Manitoba, on November 2, 1983, with Ministers Walter Goossen and Martin Barkman in charge. Minister Melvin Penner conducted the graveside service.
