Peter Menno Klassen, aged 88, of Warman, Saskatchewan, went home to be with the Lord on April 3, 2025, where he was reunited with his wife (Anne), daughter (Angela), son-in-law (Chris), grandson (Joel), and many loved ones who went before him.
Peter was born in Saskatchewan and spent his early years in the Prairies before moving to the US and then back to Canada, where he settled for the remainder of his life. A skilled and hardworking man, Peter climbed power poles and built houses before becoming a Christian and answering a call to ministry. He faithfully pastored several churches before finding his final home at Grace Gospel Fellowship in Osler.
Peter's priorities were consistently God, service to others, and family. He was known for his generous heart and unwavering and inspiring stand for the truth. He gave selflessly to those in need, and if you enjoyed a meal out with him, you would likely lose in a battle for the check. His mornings spent drinking a Tim Horton's coffee and “sitting with his notes” resulted in sermons and spiritual guidance for his congregation and countless others over the years.
Peter found joy in fishing, music, and art, and treasured quiet moments on a lake, catching his beloved Walleye or if necessary, a Northern Pike. He had a deep appreciation for music and played guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and a little violin in addition to singing. If there was a guitar around, likely Pete would pick it up and a "singsong" would start.
Peter is lovingly remembered by his children, Paul (Elaine) Klassen, Daniel (Catherine) Klassen, Naomi (Ralph) Mills, Elizabeth Klassen, Hope (Rob) Kay, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, and brothers and sisters in Christ.
Until we meet again, our dear father and precious Brother Pete, we take comfort in knowing you are in the arms of God.
