January 27, 1960 – June 24, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Allan Bruce Falkenberg on Tuesday June 24, 2025, at the age of 65.
Allan was predeceased by his parents, Marianne (2017) and Kurt Falkenberg (1992), his brother Ralph Falkenberg (2023), and brother-in-law Juan Barbachano (2021).
He leaves to mourn his passing, his wife of 25 years Theresa Lane, his son Kurtis Falkenberg, sisters Ines Falkenberg Barbachano and Janet Sul, nephews Bosco Barbachano, Lucas Horn and Matthew Horn, nieces Carina Barbachano and Robin Sul, the Becker family and his extended family in Germany.
Allan was born in Winnipeg, MB and raised in Elmwood. In his early years, his family moved to Northern Manitoba and managed a garage station and restaurant in Overflowing River, near the Pas, MB. This is where he became an avid outdoorsman and was proud to pass along those skills to his son.
After graduation from Swan Valley High School in 1978 he moved to Winnipeg and immediately gained employment at a Furniture Manufacturing Plant. He was a Production Manager for 35 years until he was forced to retire due to a traumatic brain injury in 2013. He enjoyed small outings on his bike and the daily entertainment of the wildlife surrounding our area, especially all the birds, foxes and deer that visit our yard. A subsequent stroke in 2023 left Allan immobile, but he was fortunate to remain at home with his wife along with the assistance of daily Home Care Services.
Allan was a kind soul and he loved his family dearly. He enjoyed a good party, a good German beer and always made friends wherever he went. He will be profoundly missed by those who love him.
We would like to thank all the Home Care staff for their care and kindness shown to Allan, especially Channelle and Nancy whom he looked forward to seeing each day. We would also like to thank the staff of GB2 at HSC for the comfort and dignity they provided to Allan until his journey from this life was complete.
Cremation has taken place and a private family gathering will be held to honor Allan. He will reside in all the places that mean the most to him and gave him great joy and comfort.
In memory of Allan, please consider making a donation to an animal shelter of your choice.
Kurtis: “Langsam, aber sicher”.
Theresa: “Sleep Well, My Love”.
