GARNET HENRY REIMER
Garnet is survived by two sons and their families: Perry (Marina), Nicholas and Jaylyn, Jackson; Marlin (Leanne), and Sydni. He was predeceased by his wife Margaret (Giesbrecht) on November 6, 2009 and his sisters Della and Vicki.
Garnet was born on March 14, 1936, in Steinbach, to Agnes and John F. Reimer. Garnet's older sister Della was born in 1934 and then in 1954, 2-month-old Vicki was adopted into the family. Garnet lived in Steinbach his entire life. He enjoyed his time in the Steinbach Boys Band, meeting the love of his life at Pete's Inn, his 48 year career at Fairway Ford (J.R. Friesen and Sons), yard projects and building model airplanes. Garnet and Margaret were married December 30, 1960 at the Steinbach EMB Church (Cornerstone Bible Church) and were actively involved in service throughout their entire lives. Garnet was a car guy. He was known for his meticulous vehicles and loved nothing more than long road trips with Margaret across Canada and the USA. He cherished his family and created many lasting memories with his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed taking the family away on vacations, spending many summer holidays in Detroit Lakes and dining in the best restaurants. Garn was a friend to many that knew him and his spirit of kindness and encouragement will certainly be missed.
Private family burial has taken place (December 2, 2021) at Heritage Cemetery, Steinbach, Manitoba.
A Celebration of Life is planned for Thursday, December 16, 2021 at 2:00 pm at Birchwood Funeral Chapel in Steinbach, Manitoba. *as per government regulations, proof of vaccination is required
