1928 ~ 2014
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Danny Giesbrecht on July 17, 2014 at the age of 85, at the Pinawa Hospital.
Dad was predeceased by his loving wife of 53 years Rose (nee Goossen) in 2006; parents Cornelius and Margaret; brothers: John, Stanley, Irvin, Harold, and Wilbert, and sisters Violet and Nettie.
Dad will be sadly missed by his children: Earl (Laurie), Mark, Carla (Wes), Andrea, Lee (Jenny), and Joanne Giesbrecht; grandchildren: Trenton, Amber, Travis, Brendan, Kyle, Bradley, Tyler, Hailey; and one great grandson Trenton Daniel. He also leaves to mourn his sisters Alvina and Leanna, and brother Firmin (Agnes). Dad was born in Greenland, MB and grew up and went to school there. He gave his heart to the Lord and was the first youth to be baptized in the Whitemouth Mennonite Church. He was a devoted husband, and loving father and grandfather. He enjoyed spending time with his family, telling stories and singing with us. He loved farming, spending time with his pets, and having coffee with all of his friends.
The family wishes to express appreciation and gratitude for all the prayers and words of encouragement from family and friends.
A special thank you to the Mennonite community for all your support, and to the Whitemouth Health Care team for their care of our father.

To Uncle Danny’s whole family,
Just want to send my sympathy, love and prayers for you all at this time of loss and grief. I was so glad that you, Lee’s, brought Uncle Danny out to Uncle Wilbert’s funeral. It was special to see him and hear him talk and tell stories. I’m also glad for you that you didn’t have to sit a long time and watch him die. You feel it’s sudden, and it’s always too soon and so final. May God comfort you in your sorrow. No one loves their children so unconditionally like a Mom and a Dad. I have one letter from him that I will always cherish. He told the truth to me and it helped me to understand him appreciate him like I had not before.
Love, Waneta
