January 7, 1945 ~ September 1, 2021
At the age of 76 years old Peter Rempel has decided to join his friends in heaven and continue to watch his family who he is very proud of from his new home.
Peter Rempel is survived by his wife Angela, his son Darryl (Shannon), his son James (Michelle), his daughter Coralee (Jarred), his grandchildren Kaitlyn, Lauren, Rylan and Cayden, and his sister, Nina (Fred).
As founder and owner of Bonner Construction Limited Peter demonstrated to his children that hard work produced results. He showed us how to lead by example and provide excellent service to all his customers.
Peter began his career in automotive sales at Community Chev Olds, Park Pontiac and Vickar Chev Olds, and has passed his enthusiasm for vehicles, specifically General Motors products to his children and grandchildren. His passion for cars was infectious and his children all loved it when he brought home a new project to restore. We enjoyed our family cruises in various cars throughout the years. He also enjoyed attending show and shines and sharing his interest in restoration with others. He has passed this passion on to his sons who get the same enjoyment out of their classic cars.
Peter was someone who could build or fix anything. Whenever someone had an “issue” they’d “Ask Pete” and he’d be there to fix it for them. He never hesitated to help a friend in need and was an active volunteer on many projects within his community including construction projects at church, and with charities and community groups in Winnipeg. He was a volunteer with the East St. Paul Lions club, and after he moved to Beausejour, he never missed an opportunity to volunteer at the power toboggan championships.
Peter may have come across as a tough man, but he was one of the most caring and loving people many of us will know. He had a nickname for everyone and was always adding jokes to conversations or playing practical jokes on all of us.
Peter enjoyed winter vacations with his wife Angela, especially trips to Mazatlán Mexico where he’d enjoy speaking Spanish with the locals and ensuring that they were well taken care of. He especially enjoyed his vacation in Disney World with his entire family – nothing beat the smile on his face as he watched his grandchildren’s excitement.
Peter built a summer home for his family just outside Beausejour which they enjoyed for many years. Upon retirement, he and Angela built a home on this property and moved from East St. Paul, Manitoba. Here he and Angela spent even more time in their gardens and enjoyed cooking with their bounty. You knew never to trust him when he told you the peppers weren’t hot, as he shook with laughter after your lips were on fire.
Peter will be missed terribly by his family and friends, but we all know he was looking forward to reuniting with his friends who are waiting for him in heaven.
As you read this, we encourage you to do something kind for someone. Whether you share your talent or lend a helping hand, this will be the best way to celebrate Peter’s life.

Dear Angela, Darryl, James, Coralee and your families,
My heart goes out to you on the loss of your wonderful husband, father and grandfather Pete. I always saw Pete as a warm-hearted man, and it shows in his family! So much a part of the Lage world, for so many years, I can just see him in Heaven discussing everything under the sun with my dad, Uncle Rudy and Uncle Walter. I’ll never forget all your special dinners (the supper club I called it), cottage visits and trips. I wish you much comfort and peace during this very difficult time, and that your hearts be filled with all the beauty, laughter and fun that Pete brought into this world.
With love,
Heidi Lage
Shared many humorous stories with Peter when I too was in sales at Community Chev. Olds. We even sipped a whisky or two together that contributed to our mutual enjoyment of the shared stories. There will be many smiling faces of friends who preceded Peter waiting to greet him at the gate. God’s speed Peter.

Deepest condolences on your loss. Hold close all of the happy memories
Sorry to hear about Peters death. our deepest condolences to Angela and the Family.
Angela and family, so sorry for your terrible loss. Pete was definitely one of a kind, I will miss his teasing and his stories, he tried that “peanut tree” story on me many times. He won’t be forgotten, my kids have been reminding of things we did together and things he told them, he left a big impression on them as well. Love Darren and Donna Heckert and family
I am so sorry to hear of Peter’s passing. Peter was a colorful fellow, and was always fun to talk to when he stopped for corn . I could always hear him coming and leaving. Angela and family, so sorry on his passing. May you be comforted in knowing that Peter was a good husband , father and friend.
Angela, Darryl, James, Coralee and Family
So very sorry for your loss, may all of the memories keep your hearts forever warm. I’m sure my brother Jack has greeted him with open arms. Peter always had a warm smile and a little tidbit to share. All that knew him will miss his wit.
