Ed will also be lovingly remembered and missed by many extended family members and friends. Born on May 15, 1919 in Waldheim, Saskatchewan to Abram and Adeline Dirks, Ed was the second oldest of thirteen children. Ed grew up working and helping on the farm. Following completion of Bible school, he was married to Malinda Friesen on August 12, 1945 in the Langham EMB Church in Langham, Saskatchewan. Dad and Mom’s love and concern for the spiritual lives of children directed them into camp and school ministry, ministry that subsequently led them to British Columbia and then to northern Saskatchewan. They came to Steinbach with their family to continue school and camp ministry, and after working to support themselves, finally settled on the family farm south of town where they lived and worked together for the last 41 years. Dad’s first passion was to shine the light of Jesus into every opportunity and to serve others in whatever way he could. In addition to camp and school ministry, Mom and Dad were involved in beginning and actively serving in the Grunthal EMB Church. More recently, they had become involved with the 55+ Seniors group in Steinbach. Together they enjoyed having friends of all ages over for meals, visiting and games. Dad’s kind, compassionate heart, warm sense of humour, and fun-loving nature made everyone feel welcomed. Dad especially loved spending as much time as possible with his 17 grandchildren and took a lively interest in their many activities. Dad loved gardening and took much pride in a clean and productive garden, often sharing the bountiful harvest with family and friends. Fishing, traveling, building and fixing almost anything were among other activities he thoroughly enjoyed. Dad also loved animals and all his livestock and pets were treated with care and compassion.
