JESSE BERGMANN May 2, 1994 - August 16, 2015 It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our dear son and brother, Jesse David Bergmann. He is lovingly remembered and cherished by his parents, Dave and Susan, brother and best friend, Josh, grandparents, treasured family and friends. Jesse's arrival into our family was welcomed with great joy and gratitude. He filled our world with laughter and love, and each day with him was truly a gift from God. Jesse had a strong, unshakeable faith and held deep convictions. He accepted Jesus Christ into his life at an early age and strove to make a difference in this world. He attended Whyte Ridge Baptist Church and was baptized upon the confession of his faith in his late teens. Relationships were central to Jesse. He was fiercely loyal and committed to his family and friends. Jesse's desire was to make an impact in the lives of others. He had a strong moral compass and sought opportunities to make a difference - whether that was counselling kids at camp, sticking up for the underdog, volunteering for various organizations, donating blood or spending time with seniors. Jesse loved travel and took great delight in the churches and museums he explored in his beloved Germany. Jesse also was a gifted artist and his faith and life reflections were often expressed in what he created. He also enjoyed bike rides, time at the farm, classical music, visits with friends, and sharing laughs and special times with his family. Jesse attended Linden Christian School from kindergarten to Grade 12, and recently graduated from the University of Manitoba with an Arts degree. He was intellectual, articulate and self-motivated. While he had been accepted to pursue law at the University of North Dakota, his recent decision to study Biblical Theology at Providence College gave him peace and joy. Jesse will be deeply missed. His desire would be for us to embrace life, seek Jesus, and make a difference in the lives of others. Viewing will take place at Whyte Ridge Baptist Church, 201 Scurfield Blvd. from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Friday, August 21. A Celebration of Life service will be held at Grant Memorial Baptist Church, 877 Wilkes Ave. on Saturday, August 22, at 2:00 p.m. Donations in memory of Jesse may be made to Lake Nutimik Baptist Camp or Crisis Pregnancy Centre. "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21 Friends Funeral Service, 204-339-5555

  • Mr. and Mrs. Bergmann, I am so saddened by the news of Jesse's death. When I met Jesse and you, Susan, here at Providence, I knew that he was a special young man and really hoped God was calling him to study here, to learn from and impact his fellow students here, and to share his love of God with the faculty and staff here. It was a joy to be able to send the acceptance letter, which you will be receiving in a few days; I had not yet heard he had passed away and had already mailed the letter. We here at Providence hope you will continue to cherish the knowledge that Jesse was happy to be moving in the direction God was calling him to go. It was our privilege to accept him as a student and to anticipate his contributions over the next few years. We will be the poorer for his not being with us. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and your younger son. We will keep you in our prayers during our staff and faculty prayer meetings. In time, we will rejoice with you in the knowledge that Jesse has graduated to the best place at Jesus' side. May you know our Lord and Savior's presence and comfort.

  • I'm so sorry and deeply saddened to hear about your loss, I am praying for you in the days to come, praying God's comfort for you in this time of unthinkable grief. A sister in Christ - Posted by: shelley knodel (cooked at camp once years ago with Susan) on: Aug 20, 2015

  • I met Jesse when he was a 5 year old classmate of my son Allan in their kindergarten class at Linden Christian School. I was the classroom parent representative and ordered the meals for our monthly hot lunch program. I fondly remember him as a very handsome boy with a shy, gentle nature. He would follow me around the classroom on hot lunch days as I would unpack the lunches. He would ask me questions and laugh a lot, as I love kids and can be very silly. I liked this boy the instant I met him. My son invited him to his birthday parties up until grade 6 ,when he transferred to a school close to our home. I don't think we spoke to Jesse after that time, but I can say that he made a strong impression on our hearts in the short time we knew him. The Word of God says "Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life?You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes."(James 4:14) This is one of my most treasured scriptures.To me, it declares the Sovereignty of God Almighty! Only He knows the day that each person will come into the world as well as the day when each of us will leave this world. This life is temporary, but God's world in Heaven is ETERNAL. Blessed be the name of the Lord. I pray for Jesse's parents and brother at this difficult time. I pray that God will hold you in His arms of love and that He will give you his peace. I am so, so sorry for your loss. If there is anything I can do at this time to assist your family in any way, please let me know. I will keep you in my daily prayers. Thank-you, Father, for bringing Jesse into this world. We cannot understand why it was his time to leave so soon, but we choose to trust You. Help us to walk closely by Your side, and to never take our eyes off Jesus~ the way, the truth and the life. Amen. - Posted by: Darcy Rheubottom (childhood friend of my son) on: Aug 20, 2015

  • I was very good friends with Jesse in Elementary School from Kindergarten to 6th Grade at Linden Christian School (LCS). I invited Jesse to my birthday parties over the years during my time there. I am VERY sad and heartbroken to hear about his passing. However, I know that he is in Heaven where he is no longer in any sort of pain or anything of the sort, and that I will see him again someday! Thank you, Jesse, for making my 6 years at LCS as well as my birthday parties unforgettable! You will be missed! I'll see you again someday! - Posted by: Allan Rheubottom (Friend from Elementary School) on: Aug 20, 2015

  • It was a pleasure to watch Jesse take care of Erma at church and to hear how much he was loved at camp. We are very sorry for your loss. It is a very empty void. Our prayers are with you. - Posted by: Marilyn & Richard Giesbrecht (Friend) on: Aug 20, 2015

  • I will never forget the laughs and intense soccer talks we had. You were a great friend and worker. You will be missed by our work family and work won't be the same without you. I'm going to miss you man. - Posted by: Robert Krocker (Family friend / co-worker ) on: Aug 20, 2015

  • Our deepest sympathy in the tragic loss of your dear son and brother Jesse. A beautiful life ended too soon. We are praying that God give you comfort and strength during this time of sorrow and loss. Sincerely, Neil and Gerda Fast - Posted by: Neil and Gerda Fast (Friends) on: Aug 20, 2015

  • I've known Jesse since he was only six feet tall. He was (remains) one of the kindest persons I have ever known. I was looking forward to being a part of his life as he continued his intellectual and vocational pursuits. Everything about Jesse was 'wunderbare und brillante'. He's a fortunate man to have been able to scoot away to Paradise so early ... I'm jealous. This morning was the second morning I woke up with tears in my eyes, thinking or dreaming of him. Love to you good friend ... see you soon, i hope. - Posted by: Juergen Severloh (An admirer.) on: Aug 20, 2015
