Wernie Klassen passed away on Friday, September 28, 2018.
He was born in Colonia Menno, Chaco, Paraguay on June 28, 1979 to Annie and Jacob Klassen. He immigrated with his family to Canada when he was a toddler. He grew up and lived the rest of his life in Winnipeg, MB.
He was a hard worker but after he was diagnosed with MS, he had to eventually stop working. Even battling MS he remained strong and lived his life, taking walks and barbecuing for as long as he could.
Wernie is survived by his three children, Hope, Alexandra and Nikolus; his five brothers and his father. He was predeceased by his mother.
A short outdoor service in honor of Wernie’s life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 3, 2018 at the Memorial Garden in Transcona Cemetery, 5014 Dugald Road.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the MS Society.
