Husband of Laurette Wiebe. -------------------------------------- OBITUARY - Jack William Wiebe 1936 - 2016 Dad passed away with family at his side Sunday February 14, 2016, at Boundary Trails Health Centre after a hard battle with cancer. He was born in Morden, Manitoba. He leaves to mourn his passing; 5 children, Norma and Abe Wiebe of Winkler, Robert and Shirley Wiebe of Morden, Karen and Clinton Dyck of Morden, Ken Wiebe of Morden, John and Helen Wiebe of Alberta, as well as 16 grandchildren, numerous great grandchildren, 1 great great grandchild, 2 brothers and their families. He was predeceased by his wife Laurette, his sister Edna, and parents Cornelius and Sarah Wiebe. Dad was born in Morden and raised on a farm south of Morden. He went to the Mountain City School and attended Sunday school at the Church of God. He was a member of the 4-H Grain Club. He later worked at the lumber camps at Prince George B.C where he met the love of his life, Laurette. They were married in Quesnel B.C April 4 1959. In 1970 they moved back to Morden and purchased a farm north of Morden. My dad was a proud man; independent and always in charge. He had an enthusiasm for life. Farming was his first love, but then along came his beautiful bride, partner and mother of his children. He felt he had it all. Life doesn't get better than this. He spent the next 40 plus years doing what he loved; Farming. It was hard work, but to him it was a way of life, and to him it was the best career a person could have. Dad had a mixed farm with grain, cattle and pigs. Dad never had hired help, he had mom and us kids and together as a family we would bring in the harvest! Each member of the family had various tasks to do depending on their capabilities. Growing up as children we were brought to church, dressed in our Sunday best with a quarter in hand, to learn about God, and the importance of being good and doing good to others. "Often when my brothers would get into a scrap, you would hear, is that what they taught you in church? As the years would go by, his eldest son Robert would also purchase a farm and together they embarked on a friendship journey and passion for farming. Of course as any relationships go they had their share of disagreements. You could hear them clear across the yard some days barking at each other over some difference of opinion as to how things should get done! Anyone knowing dad, knew there was only one way…. HIS! Mom would comment, oh don't worry, they aren't fighting, they are communicating. LOL. A few of dad's favorite passed times included, family visits, curling, hunting and the occasional fishing trip. Dad of course could barely bait a hook, mom was the fisherman, dad mostly drove the boat. Dad loved hunting and being out with the boys. Each year he would hope to have his name drawn to hunt Elk. He would travel up north to riding mountain for a week. By the way, mom enjoyed the break. He would not only get one Elk but 2 over the span of 4 years. He had them proudly mounted. They were so large he had to take the basement windows out, just to get them in! When dad was diagnosed a year ago with terminal cancer it dealt him a hard blow. However after the initial shock wore off, he would prove to us just the kind of stuff he was made off. He would choose to live, and fight with everything he had. He did just that. In between chemo treatments, he would still be out grooming his lawn, cutting trees, combining crops and of course barking out the orders as too how things should be done. Dad's idea of a Sunday outing was jumping in the truck, grabbing a Timmy's and "checkin out the crops" He enjoyed the numerous visits from his grandchildren, taking interest in what they were doing in their lives, always offering his "piece of advice". The last birthday BBQ out at Roberts was talked about for many weeks to come; the families and friends who had come a great distance to spend this day with him. Dad had many friends over the years, and a few very close ones that "really helped him out" after moms passing. Doug Penner and his son Matt. (Matt of course also an avid hunter, would proudly come and show dad his latest big game) His brother Cornie, although a brother, was a best friend to dad. Sunday breakfasts and Tuesday night suppers at chicken chef were highlights of his week for him. In 2007 his world came crashing down, when his beautiful wife and partner was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He was going to fix this and get her better. In 2008 she would succumb to the disease and die. He would learn that someone more powerful than he was in charge. That summer I presented him with a bible for his birthday. He said nothing. It sat on his dresser, unopened for six months. In January of the following year he came to me and said, I don't know where to begin. I told him, at the beginning of course! I knew what he meant, and I also knew that was a journey he needed to take. He spent the next seven years pondering life and realizing life comes to an end. In 2009 he would travel overseas and get baptized in the Jordan River, reconfirming his faith and commitment he made to God at the age of 15. Dad was a man of few words when it came to the emotional "stuff" but family was very important to him. One thing I learnt about my dad this past year, his pride and independence kept him from asking for help when he needed it most. He felt vulnerable. Very often we as children do that too. I think at this time he would want us to lean on each other, comfort one another. Sometimes it's ok to be vulnerable. The morning he called me to take him to the hospital, he said "I'm ready". That was it. When I got there he had his bag packed neatly, proudly showing me he did it this time all by himself. And I brought 2 pairs extra of clean underwear just in case. This is my last trip. He said. I'm not afraid of getting there but the road along the way might be rough. He went on to say I'm not afraid to die; I just don't want to be there when it happens. You see dad originally had a very different trip planned. In June of last year he was to embark on another oversees trip to Europe. After his diagnosis he had teased me saying I guess my next trip I will be packing lightly. Our Dad will be remembered for his passion for farming and his love for his family. He will be missed dearly by us all. We love you Dad. Funeral service 2:00 p.m. on Friday February 19, 2016 at Christian Life Centre, Morden with interment at Hillside Cemetery.
