Read More	Roy, youngest son of Ben D. and Agnes Penner Warkentin, was born in Steinbach, Man. June 20, 1951, and departed this life April 19, 1973, at his home, reaching the age of 21 years and 10 months. He heeded the call to repentance and accepted Christ in his youth, being baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, Nov. 22, 1964. His Christian life was not without struggles. A year ago, when he realized the seriousness of his condition, he sought God's face and reconsecrated his life, yielding himself completely to God. For the family it was a joy to behold how the Savior took control and made him into a new man, keeping him faithful to the end. Survivors are: his parents, 5 sisters: Mrs. Eleanor Barkman, Ste. Anne, Manitoba; Hilda at home; Francis and Alphae Toews, Cartwright, Man.; Rosella and Danny Goossen, Pincher Creek, Alberta and Edith at home; 7 brothers: Melvin and Margret, Ste. Anne; Walter and Alice, Cartwright, Man.; Dennis and Jewel, Ste. Anne; Roland and Anne, Elma, Man.; Ralph and Florence, St. Anne; Peter and Bernice, Ste. Anne, and Garry at home; also 33 nieces and nephews; one grandmother, and a host of relatives and friends. One brother-in-law, Art Barkman, preceded him in death. Resting at last from all suffering free; Our dear one will never more know, The deep disappointment, the trouble or pain Of a body grown frail here below. His body was healthy, at one time, and strong; His energy boundless it seemed. His voice strong and sure as in song it would swell; Now he's gone-- to sing with the redeemed. We can only say, "Thank you, dear Lord, you knew best, How to answer our prayer that he'd turn Back from the pathway of sin to Thy love That he'd known at one time, but spurned." How thrilled were our hearts when he told us that he Had surrendered his all to the Lord; He was anxious to do what was right and to learn Precious truths from God's Holy Word. As his body grew weaker his spirit grew stronger; We remember him singing of love That had sought him, and the blood that had bought him, And Oh! wondrous grace that brought him to the Fold. But he's gone, and we weep, but not without hope, For we know Jesus led him safe o'er Jordon's dark flood, to a wonderful home, Where we'll meet him to part never more. Funeral services were conducted April 22, 1973 in the Greenland Church. Min. Ronald Wohlgemuth brought the message. The body was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery.
