John H Dyck
1930 ~ 2023
It is with sadness that we share the passing of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather, John H. Dyck on May 20, 2023 at the age of 93 at Tabor Home in Morden, MB.
Dad was born south of Morden, the 3rd of eight children born to Henry H. and Helena Dyck. Life was not easy during the great depression of the 1930’s but the family persevered. When Dad was young, his family moved to farm in the Arden area. Dad completed Grade 8 and helped out on the family farm before heading out to make his own mark. He married Mary Klassen and they celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in 2018. They raised two sons and two daughters while living in Winnipeg and Neepawa. Dad worked in Winnipeg and Prince George, BC before leasing a Texaco gas station in Winnipeg. In 1963, Mom and Dad bought and operated the Neepawa Motel. They owned a gas station-carwash in Neepawa and a hobby grain farm west of Eden. Dad played the violin, guitar and sang with a number of music groups; got his private pilot’s licence in the mid-60’s; enjoyed restoring old John Deere tractors; custom combining and hunting. They also operated and started up the very successful Yellowhead Nursery in north-end Neepawa from 1977 to 1986. In retirement they moved to Morden in 1988. They wintered in Arizona for over 20 years while living in Morden and then moved to Winkler in 2008. Dad lived at Homestead South in Morden and moved to Tabor Home in December 2021. Mom and Dad worked hard from their early years until retirement. Mom was always the rock of the family. Dad cared for Mom as health issues took their toll on her late in life and she moved to Salem Home in Winkler, MB. Dad was baptised and accepted the Lord, Jesus Christ as a young adult in the Bergthaler Mennonite Church. Dad and Mom were regular attendees at the Winkler Bergthaler Mennonite Church for many years.
John is survived by four children: Eric (Liliane), Valerie (Adrian), Greta and Gerry (Heidi); seven grandchildren: Randall, Tyler, Dinah, Pamela, Kevin, Corinne and Quinn as well as six great grandchildren: Brianna, Samantha, Anabel, Charlie, Nola, and Connor; one sister, Marian; four brothers-in-law, six sisters-in-law as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife, Mary (2018), father, Henry H. (1968), mother, Helena (1992), brothers, Donald (1993), Henry (2015) and Jake (2021), sisters, Betty (2016), Helen (2018) and Shirley (2022), seven brothers-in-law and four sisters-in-law.
Funeral service at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday May 30, 2023 at the Winkler Bergthaler Mennonite Church with interment at Chapel Cemetery, Morden.
Thanks to all the caregivers at Southern Health Home Care, Homestead South and Tabor Home for providing Dad with great care, support and understanding whenever needed.
May you rest in peace, thanks for being our Dad, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather.
