Dieter’s love story with his wife, Jacquie, was one for the ages. Their bond was unbreakable, and their love was a shining example for all who knew them.

Dieter was a loving father-in-law to Asha, Jen and Eric, and he cherished ever moment seeing his family grow. Dieter’s heart overflowed with pride and joy at the sight of his grandchildren. Kai, Elias, Aria, Ivy, Vaeda, and Kelce were the apples of his eye, and he treasured every moment spent with them. Whether it was tractor and boat rides at the cottage, watching a sports game, or simply enjoying each other’s company, Dieter’s love for his grandchildren knew no bounds.

In the wake of Dieter’s passing, his brother, Stephen, and his extended family and friends mourn the loss of a remarkable man whose impact will be felt for generations to come.

Dieter was a man of many talents. Known as the “Mr. Fix It” and “I Can Build It” man, he was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was the life of the party, and his zest for life was an inspiration to all who knew him.

Rest in peace, dear Dieter, knowing that you have left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing you.
