Leander Rempel, 81, died peacefully on March 23, 2018. A Celebration of Life is at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 8, 2018, at Glacierview Baptist Church, Homer.

Leander loved the Lord and had a life full of ministry — traveling, church work, and giving leadership to the mission organization SEND International.

The family would like to express their appreciation to South Peninsula Hospital Long Term Care for their capable and compassionate care during the past 14 months.

He will be remembered by his friends and family for his gentle soul, easygoing nature, his sense of humor, interest in people, never-ending ideas, and eternal optimism.
