(Barkman) Klassen near Akron, MB. He suffered a stroke on Wednesday, August 21, 2024 and passed

 In his youth, he was baptized in the Kleinegemeinde Church. He was part of the Living Hope Church at 
Eden, MB, and was faithful to Jesus until his death. 
 He entered the bonds of Holy Matrimony with Lottie R Plett on October 13, 1962. They shared 60 
years of life together before she succeeded him in death on May 10, 2023.
 He will be missed by his five sons and one daughter, Darrell and Christina Klassen of Spencer, WI; 
Marvin and Barbara Klassen of Horndean, MB; Garry and Rachel Klassen of Arborg, MB; Elaine and 
Dennis Burkholder of Arborg, MB; Victor and Lydia Klassen of Polonia, MB; Kevin and Veronica Klassen of 
Riding Mountain, MB. He is survived by 25 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, one sister, Lillian and 
Lorne Loewen.
 In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by two brothers, Jacob and Jake; seven sisters, Agnes, 
Tina, Mary, Betty, Annie, Gertie, and Margaret; and one grandson, Kenneth Klassen.
 In his earlier years, Dad enjoyed farming. During his retirement he knitted toques and helped Mom 
with the quilts that she made for the needy. The last 15 months of his life he spent with his children and 
we will always cherish the memories we made during that time.
