Alan Leistikow

Al, age 61, passed unexpectedly on November 19,2025. Al was loving, kind, caring, funny, humble, encouraging and supportive. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, brother, son and friend whose kindness touched every part of life. He lived with humility and selflessness - embodying the example of living out his faith.

Al exemplified service through 37 years with the US Postal Service, 3 years as a Red Cross driver and countless volunteer hours including delivering flowers weekly to a nursing home for 7 years. He worked tirelessly at work, home and volunteering, living each day with quiet humility, strength, integrity and his unique and wonderful sense of humor, which could light up a room. He had a warm and welcoming presence that was inviting and could put anyone at ease.

Al loved his family unconditionally and with all his heart. He enjoyed nature – hiking, bird and duck watching, waterfalls and trees. He also enjoyed MN sports, fantasy football and being a basketball referee.

Above all, Al was a man of God and lived by his faith. His faith was unwavering and he knew that he would have eternal life with our Savior.
