Alan Jacob Wermerskirchen, 37, of Jordan, MN, passed peacefully from this world with his fiancée and love of his life at his side on Tuesday, September 6, 2022, at Ridgeview Care Center in Le Sueur. He fought a brief but gallant battle against a rare and very aggressive form of cancer.
Alan’s life will be celebrated on Friday, September 16, 2022 with a time of gathering beginning at 5PM with closing words & prayers at 8PM at Ballard-Sunder Funeral Home, 104 First Street West, Jordan, MN.
Alan was born in Shakopee, MN, on July 29, 1985, the son of Terence and Pauline (Thomas) Wermerskirchen. He grew up in Jordan, attending school and continuing to reside there after graduation. He worked several jobs through the years but was proud to be a truck driver and heavy equipment operator for the last 12 years at Liberty Tire Recycling in Savage.
In 2007 Alan and Angie were blessed with the birth of their daughter Cadence (they prefer to be called Jay). Together they enjoyed many adventures, watching the northern lights, looking at stars, short hikes, and exploring backroads.
Alan had a great love for motorcycles and pickup trucks as well as the mountains and deserts of the western United States. Like his father and brother, he also shared an interest in farming though had not been active there in many years. His greatest passions were for firearms, long-range target shooting, military equipment, video games, telling stories, anything to do with nature, and his friends.
He was preceded in death by brother, Terence Wermerskirchen Jr.; paternal grandparents, James and Doris Wermerskirchen; and maternal grandfather, Shelby Thomas. He is survived by his fiancée and best friend, Angela Bergquist; daughter, Cadence (Jay) Wermerskirchen; parents, Terence and Pauline Wermerskirchen; brother, Matthew Wermerskirchen; and grandmother, June Thomas of Lincoln NE, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
