It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Peter Hermann Weidmann on December 20, 2020, at home with family by his side.
Peter is lovingly remembered by his wife Carole of 56 years, their son Peter Jr. (Shelley), their daughter Michelle and their grandchildren whom he was so proud of, Stephanie (Steve), Will, Matthew (Malerie) and Chris. He will also be deeply missed by his four-legged granddogs, Daisy and Grizzly. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews in Canada and Germany.
Peter was predeceased by his parents Paul and Elizabeth, his siblings Helga, Robert, Margaret and Marlies, as well as his beloved granddog Puck.
Peter was born on April 25, 1945 in Paderborn, Germany and immigrated to Canada in 1957 with his mother and brother.
Peter’s passion was repairing and painting cars. He first worked at Kruse Auto Body, then for Erin Auto Body and in 1975 he started his own business.
Peter loved the outdoors and spent many hours fishing and hunting with family and friends and later Peter and Carole retired in a home they built in Lac du Bonnet.
With the help of 2 amazing doctors, Dr. P Czaykowski and Dr. M Bruneau as well as a special thank you to Denise, he was able to fight cancer for 17 years. The family would like to thank CancerCare Manitoba, CancerCare at Pinawa Hospital, Interlake-Eastern Palliative Care Team and a special thank-you to Greg at Sobering Funeral Chapel.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be held when restrictions are lifted.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CancerCare Manitoba and Pinawa Hospital.
Love you forever.

Our sincere condolences to Pete’s wife, Carole and family. I’ve known Peter for many years after my friend Carole started dating him. He was full of energy, a hard worker with a great sense of humour. He also liked to tease lightheartedly especially when we went camping with him and Carole. He was a great sportsman and fisherman.
He fought a long hard battle for his life and never gave up. His zest for life kept him going. We will miss him greatly and will never forget him. Rest In Peace our dear friend. We love you.

We extend our sincere sympathy to Carole and her family in the loss of a great guy. We enjoyed the many fun times we shared with Carole & Peter especially in the early days on Manley Avenue. We also enjoyed the times we spent together curling at the West Kildonan Curling Rink. We will have these memories forever. Rest in peace Peter.
