JOHN D. KRAHN
John D. Krahn died
Oct. 19. He was born
in Gnadenthal, Man.,
March 20, 1928 to
David and Elizabeth
Krahn. During the time
he worked on the family farm, John became
a Christian. He married
Mildred Trinke in 1948
and was baptized in
the Gnadenthal MB Church in 1949. John
spent most of his working years in sales. He
enjoyed nature, hiking, bird watching, fishing, spending time at Clear Lake and
travelling. Gideons and church work were important to John, and he served on committees in
both the Boissevain and Brandon MB
churches. His humour lit up a room, and his
integrity and wisdom helped many people
along the way. Predeceased by 3 brothers,
he is mourned by Mildred; daughters Sharon
(Vic) Peters, Sheila (Mike) Davis and Chris
(Walter) Martens; 5 grandchildren; 1 sister.
The funeral was Oct. 24 at Richmond Park
MB Church, Brandon, Man.
