JOHN HENRY NEUFELD

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Neufeld on April 8, 2025, at St. Boniface Hospital at the age of 65. 

He is survived by his beloved wife Colette; his mother Eunice Neufeld; siblings, Dave / Sharon, Mark / Brenda, Ron / Diane, and Dan / Michelle; nieces, Christine, Sharrie, Michelle, Stephanie, Ashley, and Taylor; nephews, Derek, Gaitlin, Matthew, and Joshua; his children, Jason and Jackeline; stepchildren, Stephanie and Eric; grandchildren, Kaleb, Coltyn, and Ava. 

John was predeceased by his father Abram; and baby sister Bonnie. 

John started working at an early age hoeing beets in the fields. He then became a turkey and chicken catcher. He worked at Lund Boats Greenbush Holsteins. While John was employed there, he was in a serious accident that left him permanent scars on his face. Shortly after he was employed at Kitchen Craft for 37 years. 

John’s passion was listening to music. When someone asked him what his favourite music was he responded, “Anything with a beat.” John also enjoyed fixing vehicles or anything with a motor. He loved taking things apart and putting them back together. Sometimes he would have extra pieces. 

Fishing was another all-time favourite. John loved travelling, especially Mexico. Anybody who knew John knew hamburgers were his go-to food. One time he ordered a triple patty. They had to put a steak knife through it to hold it together so he could eat it! 

His sense of humor was one of a kind. He loved to watch and send fart videos to his brothers and friends. 

When Coltyn was born, he was the proudest grandpa. Coltyn was the apple in his eyes!

John fought a long-hard battle with his cancer dialysis. I never met such a strong, determined man. He was optimistic right up until his last day. He was such a trooper! 

My sweet babe, 

You will be dearly missed! 

I love you. 

Rest in Peace, Johnny!

A Celebration of his Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at 40 First Ave N in Blumenort, MB. Please RSVP to colette_hartley@hotmail.com.
