Friesen was born on May 5, 1910, to Gerhard and Anna Wiebe Friesen, at Lorette, Manitoba. He departed this life in the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, Grande Prairie, Alberta, on November 4, 1988, at the age of seventy-eight. Most of his early childhood was lived at Needles, British Columbia, and his school years and after school years in the Linden, Alberta area. It was here, at the age of fifteen, that he repented and found assurance of forgiveness of sins. He was baptized on May 10, 1925, by Min. Peter Baerg, becoming a member of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. This church was very dear to him. At the age of eighteen he filed on a homestead at Crooked Creek, Alberta, where by hard work he made a home for himself, and later for a few years, for his parents and younger sister. In 1940 he found a helpmeet in Anna Toews, and for nearly forty-nine years they shared the blessings in life, as well as the struggles and stresses. Five sons and three daughters were born and raised in their home. On October 10, 1988, he suffered a stroke which paralyzed his right side. After three and one-half weeks in the hospital he passed away. When asked a few hours before his death whether he had an assurance of being ready to meet the Lord, he was understood to say, "Yes." Left to follow him are his wife, Anna, and eight children and their families: Phebe and Steven Unruh and three children, of Scott City, Kansas; Christine and Sam Zeiset and five children, of Chickasha, Oklahoma; Mark and Marj Friesen and six children, of Crooked Creek, Alberta; Herman and Ethel Friesen and three children, of Peace River, Alberta; Stephen and Marilyn Friesen and seven children, Luke and Andre Friesen and six children, all of Crooked Creek, Alberta; and Jon and Cathy Friesen and one son, of Grande Prairie, Alberta; also two sisters, Anna Bronson and Elizabeth Friesen; a sister-in-law, Lillian Friesen, and a great many relatives and friends. His parents, two brothers, Herman and John; a brother-in-law, Jasper Bronson; a daughter-in-law, Lila Friesen; and one small grandson, Peter Friesen, departed this life before him. Funeral services were held in the Rosedale Mennonite Church, Crooked Creek, Alberta, on November 8, 1988. Local ministers were in charge. Burial was in the Rosedale Cemetery.
