Allen Joseph Liknes

Allen Joseph Liknes, born on June 22, 1948, in Coronation, Alberta, passed away peacefully on September 4, 2024, at the age of 76. Allen was a man known for his unwavering resilience, playful spirit, and love for his family, whose legacy will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him.

Allen was predeceased by his beloved wife, Fern Fausak, in 2020, and his twin brother Alvin, who passed in 2014. He is survived by his daughter Lana and her children Austin, Tristin, Rownin, and Deagin; his son Clint, his wife Jen, and their children Clayden and Jaymes; his son Lucas, his wife Wendy, and their children Eve, Abel, and Espen; his daughter Katie, her husband Jacob, and their children Drake, Kiara, Hannah, and AJ; his son Eric, his wife Camila, and their children Lila, Leo, and Lorenzo; and his son Everett.

Allen found joy in the simple pleasures of life—whether it was on the golf course, spending time in Mexico, or watching and playing hockey. His sense of humor and playful nature brought light to those around him, and his love for his work and the successful family business he built continues to thrive through the dedication of his children and grandchildren.

Despite facing immense challenges, including multiple battles with cancer and the loss of his twin brother and wife, Allen remained mentally and physically tough, rarely complaining. To his family, he was their hero, a symbol of strength, perseverance, and love.

A celebration of Allen's life will be held Saturday October 19, 2024 at the Evansburg Legion Hall at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to Canadian Batten Disease Support and Research Association to fund research for the disease suffered by three of his grandchildren. 

Allen will be deeply missed, but his spirit, humor, and strength will live on in all who loved him.
