WIEBE - Jimmy Wiebe of Yorkton died tragically on June 20, 2011 at Yorkton at the age of 50 years. Jimmy Ray Wiebe was born in Warman, SK, on April 9, 1961 to parents, Jake and Ann Wiebe. The family moved to Yorkton in 1962. Jim received his education in Yorkton. As a teenager, Jim delivered the Leader Post for years and was awarded for his outstanding service. Jim also enjoyed the travel involved with his employment for an exhibition midway. He worked at Fas Gas and appreciated the friendships he made with his employers. Jim was presently employed with Yorkton This Week and Shell. He thoroughly enjoyed the socializing and wonderful conversation that was part of these jobs. He valued the many friendships made by his employment in the community. Jim's love for the Edmonton Eskimos and Montreal Canadians and his dislike for the Saskatchewan Roughriders was always a great topic of conversation. Jim enjoyed his daily coffee visits with friends and family. Jim's father, Jake, will especially miss his coffee and pizza buddy! Jim is survived and loved by his parents, Jake and Ann Wiebe. He will be deeply missed by his three sisters, Debi (Alan) Paton and their children, Adam (Kristy) Paton and their daughter, Jagger; Brooklyn (Jason) Ungar and their son Kase; Laura (Chad) Mielke and their son Kieran; Jennifer (Randy) McCredie and their sons Lincoln and Lance. A very dear aunt and uncle, Corney and Mary Peters, will also hold fond memories of Jim. At the time of his passing, Jim was a dedicated night shift worker at Shell. He held this position for over ten years, never taking a sick day and often helped out co-workers by taking extra shifts. He was never at a loss for words and his sense of humour was a great source of entertainment! Jim was a wonderful, kind person with great respect for his mother and father. He will be deeply missed in our lives.
