He was 17 when his father passed away and only 29 when his mother also passed away. David enjoyed his family, spending much time visiting his brothers and sisters. He also cherished his nieces and nephews. He traveled to BC, Nova Scotia, Mexico and Belize to visit his family. David’s heart was in farming. He was proud to be a farmer, but he also did other jobs. One of them was working at the Eaton’s mail order center and another one was working at Winnipeg Cold Storage. He enjoyed relatively good health most of his life but struggled during the last few years. Recently he was concerned about the sudden weak spells he was experiencing. David is survived by two sisters, Anna Friesen and Sara (Albert P.) Brandt and by one brother, Abram R. (Margaret, nee Kornelsen) Reimer and their families. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Olga Mantky Friesen, who was married to Peter R.
