Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryKENNETH EDWIN WEIDMAN October 28, 1952 - September 27, 2013 After a stubborn battle with ALS, Ken passed away on September 27, 2013 in the Riverview Health Centre. Ken leaves to mourn his passing his loving wife of thirty years, Peggy, his daughter, Lisa (Greg) and his two very precious grandchildren Tyler and Robyn. Ken was very close with his brother Herb (Leona) and their three children, Kelly (Tracie), Rhonda White and his Godson, Barry (Corrine) who made it his mission to keep Uncle's spirits up by sending him many jokes and friendly emails. Ken was predeceased by his parents Fred and Emilie Weidman, his oldest brother Roy (Alice) of Kelowna, B.C., oldest sister Ilene Baker (Clarence-deceased) of Beausejour, Man. Ken's survived by siblings Ted (Louise), Hilda (Reg) Pfieffer, Irene (Lawrence-deceased) Steinke all of Winnipeg, Man. He also leaves his brother-in-laws: the late Mickey and Spencer Neill both of Winnipeg, father-in-law Reginald Neill of Victoria, B.C., brother-in-law Dennis Neill (Gail) of Thompson, Man., sister-in-law Louise Teichrib (Cliff) of Stony Mountain, brother-in-law Brian Neill (Hasina) of Irving Texas. Ken had very fond memories of all the happy times he shared with his many nieces, nephews and close friends. Ken lived with Motor Neuron Disease all his life and his courage and determination to lead a "normal" life were an inspiration to all that knew him. We wish to thank Rosie Zerdin; his Angel on Earth - Matthew Webber, Richard and Lorraine Baker, Richard, Kim Rogoski and their three daughters Ashley, Stacey and Lynsey for all the help and support. Also, all the staff on 3 East at Riverview for their patience and understanding when working with Ken. All the staff from Comforts of Home Care for their generous hearts. We also want to send a huge Thank You to the ALS Society of Manitoba - Diana and Angela, we couldn't have done it without your support and advice over the last two years. There are just too many people to thank individually (friends, employers, co-workers, etc.) for all your support, so please accept this as a personal "Thank you" Ken was the Glue that held us all together. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 5 at 2:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street.

Ken 'retired' in March of 2011. It seems like yesterday. Despite all of Ken's medical troubles, I never heard him complain. He came to work every day with a smile on his face, joy in his heart, and mischief up his sleeve! He was always ready with an encouraging word and loved to chit chat with anyone, anywhere. God speed, my friend. I miss you and I'll miss sending you jokes on the computer. My deepest sympathy to you, his family. - Posted by: Deanna Zaretski (Co-worker and friend) on: Sep 30, 2013

Ken will truly be missed I worked with him for several years at agriculture canada. we had a lot of fun and laughs. He always liked the emails that I sent out with the photos. He even emailed me a few weeks ago saying he finally tracked me down. I am very sorry for your loss. - Posted by: cheryl dunning (co worker and friend) on: Sep 29, 2013

I have so many happy memories that I will hold close to my heart and share with my children. Uncle Kenny was a very special man who brought much joy and laughter to those who knew him. I am so thankful that he brought Aunty Peggy and Lisa into our lives and our family. Your suffering is over, now our healing begins. xo - Posted by: Rhonda (Neice) on: Sep 29, 2013
