Jacob (Jim) Block
1926 ~ 2021
Jim passed away peacefully at Morden Tabor Home on Sunday February 7, 2021.
He was predeceased by his loving wife of 69 years, Helga (married July 30, 1949). Cherishing a lifetime of memories, are his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and siblings:
♥ son Brandon (Darlene), and their children, Robert (Rachelle) & family, Daniel (Sarah) & family, and Cole
♥ daughter Karen (Pete), and their children, Paul, Devon (Krista) & family, and Lisa (Darren) & family
♥ daughter, Holly and her children, Kyla, Bruno, and Brandon
♥ siblings, Peter, Bill, and Martha, and families
Predeceased by his parents Julius & Katharina (Penner) Block of Steinbach, his son-in-law, Bruno (Holly) and siblings, Henry, Annie, and Tina.
He will be remembered for his faith in God, his loving heart and kind spirit, always willing to lend a hand whenever needed. His outgoing personality and sense of humour will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
A special thank-you to his many friends and family for all of their love and support.
Our heartfelt thank you goes out to all the staff at Tabor Home, for their excellent care and compassion – and for being there when we couldn’t. We will be forever grateful. If Jim were still here, I’m sure he would give you all a big “wink”.
Memorial Service and Interment at 1-6 Icelandic Cemetery to follow at a later date.
