Obituary for Hans Walter “John” Klassen
John W. Klassen
June 6, 1937- January 9, 2018
John passed away after surviving a stroke a year and a half ago, surrounded by his loving wife Arleen of 56 years, and his family. John gave his life to the Lord at a Billy Graham crusade and later met his Queen Arleen (as he called her) at Briercrest Bible College at Caronport, SK. After a successful career in sales in Edmonton AB, he and Arleen ventured to Poplarfield, MB where they purchased and operated their turkey “ranch” for the next 14 years.
John’s passion was his family. Whenever or wherever they needed him he was intentionally there. John was known as a strong man, keeping fit by weightlifting, rollerblading, and walking. Besides exercise John loved westerns, country music, anything to do with horses, farming, and being a helper to anyone who asked. Johnny, dad, Papa John, Pa Klaw, Grandpa, you will be deeply missed. You will always be our Superman.
Celebration Of Life will be held at 11am on Tuesday, January 16 at Kilcona Park Alliance Church,1977 Norris Rd, Winnipeg MB. R2G 4C1
