In Loving Memory of John P. Wiebe

 June 23, 1940 - November 8, 2026

 John was born into a large family in the Osler area, to Abram and Maria (Peters) Wiebe. His early years were spent helping out the family by helping with the dairy, doing field work, gardening and going door to door in Saskatoon selling produce. Many memories were made when the family moved to Mexico for a short while, and it was so much fun playing with his many siblings.

 John met Mary, fell in love, and married his sweetheart in 1959. They were married for 67 years. To this union were born 4 children plus a stillborn daughter. They also fostered a child and still are parents to her. 

John and Mary moved many times, even living in Prespatou, BC, for three years. John worked at numerous different jobs in his life, doing concrete work, mechanics, farming, owning a renovating and carpentry business for many years, and working at CNH. He absolutely loved to work, and it was a great hardship to slow down due to back pain after an accident in 1998. 

John was baptized upon confession of his faith in the spring of 1958, but it wasn’t until a number of years later that he came to understand this faith more fully, that he could know that he had eternal life. 1John 5:13: “ I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may KNOW that you have eternal life.” This brought him such joy that he wanted everyone to know this truth. It ignited a passion to teach his children these truths and become one of the founding fathers of Osler Mission Chapel. He had a passion for missions, and he loved to be in church on every occasion. 

John enjoyed travelling, hunting, fishing, and lots of visiting. He was involved in getting Sunshine House in Hague started and volunteered at Bible Camp. He was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in November 2025, enduring numerous treatments and a lot of pain, and so he was waiting anxiously for his heavenly home. John’s life leaves a lasting legacy of devotion to his Lord and Saviour and his love for family and church.

 He leaves to mourn his wife, Mary; daughter Eva and Martin Unger, son Aron and Verna Wiebe, son Frank and Sherry Wiebe, son Jerry (Debbie) Wiebe, 11 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, and numerous siblings and in-laws.

John's funeral service will begin at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the Osler Mission Chapel. The viewing will take place one hour before the service. Interment will follow after the service at the Osler Cemetery. 

Martens Warman Funeral Home is honoured to be entrusted with Mr. Wiebe's care and arrangements.
