Jake was born on December 19th, 1935, in Rosengart, MB, to Henry and Elizabeth Wieler (nee Nikkel). He was the fourth born of 13 children. He and his siblings grew up in the years when times were hard and money was scarce, but love was abundant.

Jake has always been a hardworker all his life. He was a trucker driver for many years, School Bus driver and Mechanic. 

Jake and Mom loved going on road trips together and spending time at his favorite place, Elk Island National Park with family. Jake was happiest when he was surrounded by family (especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren), and a good supper. Jake enjoyed reading his bible on Sundays and doing his puzzles.
