Jake (Jacob) Hoeppner Dad was born on November 26, 1928 to Jacob and Mary Hoeppner in the RM of Stanley. He went home to be with his Lord and Savior on March 29, 2009. Dad gave his heart to God sometime in his later teens. Dad spent most of his growing up years in the Morden district until his parents moved to the MacGregor area in the 1940’s. It was at MacGregor that Dad met Rosie Unrau, the love of his life, when she was only 15 years old. They were wed 3 years later on November 22, 1952. Together Mom and Dad had 4 sons and 2 daughters. Dad was a hard worker, but he still found time and energy to spend with his children. In the early years of their marriage Mom and Dad made their home in Winnipeg, where Dad worked mainly as a tinsmith and gas fitter. But his first love was farming, so they moved to their first farm south of Austin in 1960. From there, they continued farming at MacGregor and Waldersee. Finally Dad, along with Mom often by his side, spent the next few years enjoying God’s creation while delivering the Free Press to the drop-off places on his route. Mom and Dad retired to Brandon when Dad was in his late fifties. Dad found the inactivity a challenge, and they ended coming full circle when they bought an acreage at Austin. Dad remained busy in his retirement. He enjoyed camping, gardening, yard work, travelling, going for coffee, volunteering at camp and clerking at the MCC stores. Mom and Dad also enjoyed singing together at home and in service to their Lord. He spent many hours in his recliner reading the book he loved the best, his Bible. Grandparenting came early in Dad’s life, and even though they were still busy raising children, he was very proud of his first grandchild. All of his children were dear to him. Mom and Dad travelled many miles, provided willing hands, spent countless hours on their behalf, and most importantly, prayed daily for each one by name. Dad is survived by Rosie, his wife of 56 years; sons James (Jim), Timothy (Donna), Kenneth (Janice) and David (Johanna); daughters Janet Buhler (Alan) and Sharon Loewen (Reg); 15 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; 1 brother Peter; 4 sisters Kay Hankel, Mary Peters, Irene Fox and Jean Hoeppner.
