It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of John Brian Wiens – brother and uncle – on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, at his residence.
John was a private man who lived life on his own terms. He worked as an electrician for most of his career, making many friends along the way. Known for his quick wit, sharp intelligence, and deep commitment to his family roots, John’s passing leaves a significant void in our lives. He will be deeply missed.
John is survived by his sister, Susan Funk (Leslie); brother-in-law, Harry; and his nephews and nieces: Keven (Jacqueline), Curtis (Lisa), Murray (Louise), Eric (Jennifer), Colin (Shirley), Carla (Pete), Trevor (Adrienne), and Bonnie (Gary) and their families.
He was predeceased by his father, Johann P. Wiens (1952); mother, Susan Wiens (1966); and sister, Orpha Funk (2012).
A private family viewing will take place prior to the service. The memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, MB.
