DAVID EARL REIMER
July 27, 1949 – March 16, 2016
On March 16, 2016, after a lengthy struggle with kidney disease, David realized his dreams of being reunited with his parents and other loved ones, when he passed away peacefully at the Salem Personal Care Home, Winkler, MB.
David was predeceased by his parents Abram D. and Margaret Wiens (Reimer), one sister in her infancy, and two brothers: Dennis and Lewis.
David is survived by one sister Carol (Victor Wiebe); four brothers: Robert (Marlene), Reginald (Luella), Gary (Karen), and Ronald (Diane); sisters-in-law Elma and Marina; and numerous nieces and nephews.
David grew up in Steinbach and was baptized upon his confession of faith at the Steinbach EMC Church. In his teens he developed mental illness and much of his life was spent in mental health care facilities and foster homes. His family is thankful for the excellent and loving care provided to him, especially at Eden Mental Health Center, Salem Personal Care Home, and Boundary Trails Dialysis Unit.
The funeral service will be held on Monday, March 21, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, 162 Hwy. 52 W., Steinbach, MB. The burial will take place at a later date.
