Johan (John) Dyck Neufeld, beloved husband, father, and friend, passed away on Saturday, August 3, 2024, in the RM of Roland, MB, at the age of 49. He entered into the presence of his loving Heavenly Father, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and faith.
Born on September 4, 1974, in Greenfield, Mexico, Campo 109, John's early years were spent in Mexico before his family relocated to Manitoba. John and his family later lived briefly in Alberta and Ontario before settling permanently in Manitoba.
John was preceded in death by his father, Jacob Neufeld; his sister, Tina; his niece, Chelsea; his nephews, Matthew and Jonathan; and his mother-in-law, Anna Harder. He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Tina (Harder) Neufeld; his children, Victoria (Riley), Michael (Claudette), Bradley (Lena), Joshua, Adam, Tamara, and Solara; and his cherished grandchildren, Ashton, Paisley, Oliver, Ezekiel, and baby Neufeld. He is also survived by his mother, Katharina, and his siblings, Nancy (Jake), Cristina (John), Isaack (Nettie), Jake (Tina), Helen (Bill), Pete (Heather), and their families.
John and Tina's love story began in 1989. He was baptized in 1994 in the Reinland Mennonite Church. They were married the following year and were looking forward to celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary this September. John began working at Meridian in 1994, starting as a painter and quickly advancing to the role of team manager. His dedication, leadership, and warm smile earned him respect and admiration in every aspect of his life—whether at work, in church, or within the community.
John was known for his joyful spirit, always spreading his love for Jesus, people, and life itself. He had a gift for making others feel special, and he never hesitated to offer a kind word, a helping hand, or a heartfelt laugh. He was passionate about cooking, baking, spending time with family, traveling, and trying new things.
In the last three years of his life, John discovered a new passion—motorcycle riding. After obtaining his learner's permit in August 2021, he enjoyed many adventures with his riding buddies. In addition to riding, John took pride in dressing well, singing in the choir, and helping his children plan memorable events.
