He is survived by his soul mate Jan; son Sean (Paula); daughter, Shayne (John); brother, Don (Marney), niece, Kerri (Keith); sister in law, Judes; grandchildren, Brooklyn, and Maddison (the apples of his eye). David loved and was loved by many other family members and friends. Throughout his life and career as an insurance adjuster, David met some amazing people of whom many became lifelong friends. His passion in life was his family. He enjoyed the outdoor, playing bridge and darts and almost always had his nose in a book. Last but not least he was undoubtedly the Toronto Blue Jay’s number one fan. No service at David’s request however he did request one big celebration of life party to be determined at a later date. Goodbye my love, till we meet again...

JANUARY 16, 1918 - NOVEMBER 6, 2014
Frieda (Petko/Paetkau) Fast went to her heavenly home on Thursday, November 6, 2014 at Chilliwack General Hospital. She was 96 years old. The last of six children, Frieda was born on January 16, 1918 in Neu (New) Chortiza in the Baratova region of the Ukraine to Heinrich Paetkau and Helena (nee Klippenstein) Paetkau. Always a precocious child, at the age of 14, she was sent to Odessa on the Black Sea for her teacher training. On November 28, 1939 she married Stefan (Stepan) Minaev, who, as a widower, brought a daughter, Galya (Annie), to their union. They subsequently had 3 children: Larissa (Lora, 1940), Walter (1945) and Magdalene (Maggie, 1949). Frieda and Stefan fled the Ukraine with their 2 girls, Annie & Lora, in October 1943; they were part of The Great Trek in which thousands of Mennonites fled the Ukraine to escape political and religious persecution. The family ended up in Gronau, Germany, in a refugee camp run by the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). Sponsored through the MCC, they immigrated to Canada in May of 1950. Immediately after their arrival in Canada, they made their way to Carrot River, Saskatchewan and worked to repay the price of their passage. Once that year of enormous hardship was fulfilled, they moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Both Frieda and Stefan were trained as teachers and were fluent in a number of languages, one of which was Russian. In 1953 they found employment in Grand Forks, B.C. as Russian language teachers to the children of the Doukhobors, a religious sect, who had settled there in large numbers. Both Frieda and Stefan became a part of the Grand Forks community and were well-respected. During her Grand Forks years, Frieda attended the Gospel Chapel with her children and became a valued member of that church community. Frieda was widowed in 1973; she remained in Grand Forks, not moving to Sardis, B.C. until her marriage to Henry Fast on August 30, 1975. Henry died in February of 1981. In April 2001 , Frieda moved into her apartment on Knight Road. There she made many friends, was active in the Greendale Mennonite church (now called River of Life Church), was an active member of the Canadian Bible Society as well as serving as a correspondent for the Mennonite paper Der Bote. Because of her skill in the German and Russian languages, her services as a translator were sought after. She was a voracious reader throughout her life. She nurtured that passion in all of her children and was a constant example of the importance of education. Frieda never lost her passion

for learning. But it was her deep faith in God that sustained her through an often turbulent life. Frieda was preceded in death by her parents, her 5 siblings, her two spouses, and her step-daughter, Annie Fournier.
