It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our loved one, Diether “Opi” Johann Diering. He passed suddenly on April 7, 2019 at the age of 86 years. Waiting with open arms for him at Heaven’s Gates is his predeceased wife, Maria Diering. Left to mourn his passing and cherish his memory are his children Linda (Dale) and Roy (Kristal); grandchildren Charlee (Tyler), Randee, Derik (Tiffany), Tysan, Carmen (Todd), Cathy (Mark), Mark (Amy), Dayton, Parker, Madelynn, and Oliver; great-grandchildren Kayla (Nick), Justin, Megan, Avery, Mason, Sophie, and Aubrie; and beloved best friend Beverly.
Opi shared a special relationship with his bicycle and got a feeling of freedom from riding around the City of Regina and surrounding area. He rode to the grocery store, he rode to visit his children and grandchildren, and he rode for joy. It was not uncommon for Opi to put over 60kms on his bicycle in one single ride. Whenever Opi spoke about leaving this earth he dreamed there was a very real chance it would happen on the bike. His wishes came true late Sunday afternoon while beginning his commute home after visiting both his children. The family is appreciative of those who assisted our Opi by calling 911. We’d also like to acknowledge those who provided CPR until the paramedics arrived. Your actions preserved our Opi’s life long enough that our family could say goodbye. We would also like to acknowledge the work of the paramedics, the ER and Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at the Regina General Hospital.
As per Opi’s request no service will be held.
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Diether Opi Johann Diering April 7th 2019..
Décès pour la Ville: Regina, Province: Saskatchewan
