John was born on February 18, 1919, to Isaac W and Margaretha (Kroeker) Reimer, the 11th of 17 children. His childhood and youth were spent working hard on the family farm. As a young man he dedicated his life to serving God and attended Steinbach Bible School in preparation for a lifetime of ministry.
John married Leona Reimer on October 8, 1945. Together they served the Lord in various places in Canada, as well as internationally.

He is also survived by one sister, Elma Wiebe, of Lethbridge, AB and two sisters-in-law, Edna Reimer and Elsie Reimer.
John was predeceased by his beloved wife Leona and his son Samuel Wayne.
