David Wiens Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jan. 11 to Jan. 13, 2018.
David Peter Wiens September 19, 1954 - December 17, 2017 David could no longer take the pain of depression from bipolar disease and, in his despair, took his life. He leaves an aching hole in the hearts of his family including his mother Dorothy Wiens (Floyd Sanderson) and his children Jennifer Rowsell (Tracy), Kelsey Merkley (Ryan) and Matthew Wiens (Amy Koehn). He was preceded in death by his father Walter Wiens. He is also survived by his sisters Cathy Foht (Melvin) and Dr. Sharon Wiens (Steve Wilson) and his much loved grandchildren: Megan, Kaitlin and Ben. All of us will miss his charm, his fount of brilliant ideas, his generous heart and his ever engaging presence in our lives. Please consider a donation to the Mustard Seed or a worthy organization to support better mental health care in this province. All are invited to join the family Saturday, January 13 at 11 am for a memorial and celebratory luncheon at Silver Springs Golf & Country Club, 1600 Varsity Estates Drive NW.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

An eloquent tribute to a beloved family member. Thank you for sharing his story - it will inspire others to continue the conversation about mental health in Alberta.

My heart goes out to all of you. This disease is an insidious thing that steals those we love. Take comfort knowing he is at peace.
