Obituary of Abram W. Wiebe

<p>Abram W. Wiebe, son of Henry and Justina Wiebe, passed away to be with his Lord Jesus Christ, at the age of 73, on Thursday August 15, 2019 at the Bethesda Regional Health Centre, Steinbach MB.</p> <p>Abe is survived by his wife Alvina Wiebe, his four children: Stuart (Lorraine) Wiebe, Cameron (Heidi) Wiebe, Shawna (Lloyd) Unrau, and Candace (Bill) Klassen. He is also survived by 16 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and one sister Margaret (Peter) Wiebe.</p> <p>Abe was predeceased by one son Cory at birth, his parents, three brothers, three sisters, and two sisters-in-law.</p> <p>Abe was born on March 18, 1946 in Morris, MB., and lived in Lowe Farm until 1950 when the flood forced the family to move. They lived in Winnipeg, Twin Creek, Ridgewood, and ended up in Blumenhoff. While working at the Granny&rsquo;s Co-op, he met his future bride Alvina Friesen. They were married at the Steinbach CMC on July 18, 1965 and were married just over 54 years.</p> <p>After they were married, Abe worked hard at a variety of jobs including Penner Tire, driving for Barkman Concrete, driving cement truck CT Loewen&rsquo;s, as a mechanic for CT's, and as a long-distance truck driver for Penner International when health issues forced him into retirement. Hunting and fishing were also a major part of his life and he spent many years doing this with his brothers Niel and Peter along with his two sons and sons-in-law. Abe was also able to take several of his grandchildren fishing over the years. He also enjoyed smoking meat and, in his retirement, often got the smoker going just to have something to do.</p> <p>The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr Mark Hoff and the rest of the staff at Bethesda for the care and compassion they have shown to Dad and the rest of the family during this time.</p> <p>Viewing will be held on Thursday, August 22, 2019, at 7:00 p.m., at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, MB.</p> <p>The funeral service will be at Friday August 23, 2019, at 2:00 p.m., at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, with interment at the Heritage Cemetery, Steinbach, MB.</p> <p>If friends and family desire, donations may be made to assist the family with the funeral expenses.</p>
