Reverend David William Weinert
August 4 1926 April 14 2019
Rev. David W. Weinert David W. Weinert passed away at home early Sunday morning, April 14, 2019 in Woodburn, Oregon at age 92.
He was born in a home on the Kansas state line near Preston, Nebraska
on August 4, 1926. He grew up in rural Nebraska on the family farm, the
sixth and youngest child of Henry and Martha Bletscher Weinert. He loved
and often spoke of the years of his childhood and youth on the farm,
enriched by a loving family and sustained by faithful participation in
local church life. After graduating from Falls City High School, he
attended two years at Asbury College in Kentucky, later completing a
Bachelor’s degree at Southwest State College in Weatherford, Oklahoma
and the degree of Bachelor of Divinity at Western Evangelical Seminary
in Portland, Oregon. Rev. Weinert served as pastor in churches of the
Evangelical United Brethren Church in Kansas and Oklahoma, Calvary
Temple in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and the Evangelical Church in
Oregon for 45 years. In Oregon he served the Eugene Willakenzie Church,
Salem First Church, and Harmony Church in Milwaukie. His churches were
characterized by a strong emphasis on Christian missions and service,
with many missionaries and ministers called to service under his
ministry, and by a preaching and teaching emphasis on the message of
Christian holiness. He served for 30 years while a pastor and in
retirement as President of the Multnomah Holiness Association. Rev.
Weinert met Beth Means while pastoring his first church in Derby,
Kansas, where they were married in 1951. He passed away just a week from
their 68th anniversary. In their nearly 68 years of marriage, they
worked together in equal partnership in raising a family of their six
children, serving pastoral assignments in 10 different churches, and
caring for the home life of their growing extended family. Everything
they did they did together.
Rev. Weinert is survived by his
wife, Beth Weinert of Woodburn, Oregon; sister Helen Scott of Newton,
Kansas; children Mark and wife Betty Weinert of Milwaukie, Oregon, Janet
Kunze of Shelbyville, Kentucky, Brad and wife Kristy Weinert of

Robert and wife Nancy Weinert of McCordsville, Indiana; daughter-in-law
