Alan Bergen
August 21, 1946 ~ May 7, 2025
It is with the heaviest of hearts that the family of Alan Richard Bergen, beloved husband of the late Marie-France Bergen, announce his passing at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at th age of 78 years. Alan dedicated his life to the service of others, working as a veterinarian for 50 years. His deep love for animals and tireless commitment to their care earned him the respect and admiration of both his peers and clients. Equally committed to his community, Alan was a proud and active member of the Lions Club for 50 years, always ready to lend a hand and support a cause greater than himself. A man of remarkable strength—both physically and mentally—Alan was known for his strong work ethic, resilience and boundless generosity. He faced every challenge with determination and every opportunity with kindness. He had a warm heart, a sharp wit, and a great sense of humor that brought joy to those lucky enough to know him. Alan cherished his family above all. He is survived by his devoted children, Angela and Nicholas and by his beloved grandson, Nash, who brought immeasurable joy to his life. Alan will also be deeply missed by his sisters: Barbara (and her late husband Frank), Marietta (Ben) and Alvina (Stephen). His extended family, friends, and community will forever remember him as a pillar of strength, compassion and love. Alan will be silently remembered by family and friends without the proceedings of a formal service.
