JOE BUHR Passed away accidentally near Gladstone, Manitoba on Saturday, March 17, 2007, Joe Buhr, age 28 years, of Gladstone, Manitoba. Joe was a vibrant young man full of life with an overwhelming love for his family. He was so proud of his children. Brooklyn was his Little Princess and Shane his Button. Joe loved to make everyone laugh. In a second he would drop everything to go and help a friend. His drive and ambition were proven through his many accomplishments. You would never find him without his cold coffee, cell phone, and long johns. Sunday was always his family day to spend with Ainsley, Shane, and Brooklyn. Going to Sandy Lake with his family was something he always looked forward to. He so enjoyed his trip to California with Youth For Christ and his brother's wedding in the Dominican Republic. Joe also loved to fish, hunt, and crop check any excuse to be behind the wheel, but nothing compared to working on the farm with Dad, Mom, and Greg. Left to cherish his memory is his wife Ainsley; children, Brooklyn and Shane; parents, Lawrence and Wendy Buhr of Plumas; brother Greg and Jody; nephew Ben of Plumas; mother-in-law JoAnn Beavington of Gladstone; father-in-law Nick and Susan of Gladstone and children, Laurie and Jeff and Beau, Kern and Nichole and Morgan, Shea and Amanda, and Patrick and Kira, grandparents, Ed and Eva Buhr, Ervin Mauseth, Phyllis Bjarnarson, and June Beavington, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends. Funeral service was held on Thursday, March 22, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. in the Gladstone Christian Fellowship Church with Rev. Randy Fehr and Rev.
