1940 – 2019

It is with sadness we announce the passing of our beloved partner, brother, uncle, grandpa, and friend John Louis Wielgosh, who passed away at his home in Beausejour on August 21, 2019 at the age of 79.

He is survived by his brother Allen (Teresa); and his nephews: Jody (Lisa) and their children Brooke and Bethany, Christopher (Cara) and their children Carter and Cody.  He will be lovingly remembered by his longtime partner Virginia Crate from Norway House; her children Cassy Crate (Tina), Jolene (Robert) Throop; her grandchildren: Howie Crate (Amy), Florence Crate (Dallas), Jesse Throop, Austin Throop, and Paris Crate; along with great grandchildren: Eden Budd, Emerson Menow, Levin Menow and Dallas Menow. As well, he will be missed by his dear friend Gaylord.

John was predeceased by his parents John and Julia, his sister Joanne Wright, and brother-in-law Howard Wright, and Virginia’s daughter Shannon Crate.

John began his career with Manitoba Highways, eventually becoming the Supervisor of Northern Airports.

He loved the outdoors, and enjoyed hunting trips to Norway House, with Virginia’s brothers.  He loved living in Beausejour and enjoyed gardening.  He was regarded as a nice guy, a gentle soul, and a good neighbour. Rest in peace John

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB  R3E 0V9.

A Celebration of John’s life will be held at 1:00 p.m., Friday, August 30 at Sobering Funeral Chapel, 1035 Park Avenue E. in Beausejour.

My deepest sympathies to John’s family. He truly was a great next door neighbor. I’ll miss our chats in the back yard, bumping into each other at co-op and our waves to each other as he was taking Beano out for her daily truck ride. There is a void on our little street, he is missed. I pray for strength and comfort for you during this time of planning and grief.

Condolence from Gary and Glenda Brauner on August 26th, 2019 2:11 pm

John was a man admired by all those who knew him.
He was a man big in stature and even bigger in heart. I will always smile when I think of John, and I thank God for the blessing of allowing us to have known John.

Condolence from Georgina (Schiller) Klassen on August 27th, 2019 10:22 am

To John’s Family:
We are so sorry for your loss. John was a good friend of my late brother Gerald, & on his time off from his job in the north, we would sometimes come across them regaling each other with stories of their shared sports of hunting & fishing, at the cabin. Although over two decades ago, now, it is comforting to think that perhaps the two of them have, happily, resumed their friendship & their satisfying conversations.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Georgina & John Klassen
