Obituary

Diedrich H. Unger, age 76, of Vita, MB., passed away accidentally, on Sunday, March 23, 2025.

He is survived by two daughters, four sons, one sister, three brothers, ten grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and two more great-grandchildren on the way.

Diedrich was predeceased by four sisters and five brothers.

Diedrich was born on July 18, 1948, in Asuncion, Paraguay. He married Sara on September 20, 1974. They immigrated to Canada in 1991. In 1995, both decided to move out of the city and onto a farm in Arbakka, MB. This is where they raised cattle, homesteaded, and planted crops. Diedrich worked as an equipment operator along with farming in South America before the move. Using the knowledge he acquired from his time in South America, he worked as a maintenance head in multiple industrial plants. During his time on the farm, he became known to the neighbours as someone willing to do the odd welding job and often refusing financial payment.

The livestreamed funeral service will be held on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, MB.

The interment will take place at Sunrise Cemetery, Vita, MB.
