Wilhelm (Bill) Neufeld

1966 - 2013 

Bill Neufeld, aged 46 years of Winkler, MB passed away at his home on Thursday, January 17, 2013. 

Bill was born in Mexico on July 27, 1966 to Isaac and Justina Neufeld. He was one of six sons and four daughters.  While still young, Bill and his family moved to Belize where they stayed until he was in his teenage years. They then moved back to Mexico where he met Anna Neufeld, the woman he would marry. Bill and Anna were baptized by the confession of their faith and then married in June of 1986.  Shortly thereafter, they moved to Canada and planted their roots in Winkler. They had five children, three sons, Jamie, Tony and Neil and two daughters, Joanna and Caitlyn.  Bill had many jobs over the years, but mainly worked as a welder with his most recent place of employment at Grandeur Housing. But his passion was in mechanics. He loved rebuilding engines and fixing up vehicles. He spent countless hours working on anything he could get his hands on. Bill also enjoyed going dirt biking with his sons and fishing in his spare time.  Bill loved to tell stories about his years spent in Belize. He had an amazing ability to remember things in great detail.  Bill loved the Lord and wanted to live his life for Him. But he had many struggles along the way. But those struggles never stopped him from striving to be a better man. He loved hi children and wanted desperately to be a good father. And even though life’s struggles got in the way sometimes, his last thoughts were of his concern for his children’s forgiveness. 

He leaves to mourn his passing his wife, Anna, two daughters, Joanna and Caitlyn, three sons, Jamie, Tony and Neil, his parents, Isaac and Justina Neufeld, parents-in-law, Peter and Maria Neufeld, siblings and many nieces, nephews and extended family.  He was predeceased by one brother, one sister and one brother-in-law.
