Alvin Bengtson

Remembering Alvin “Al” Bengtson With heavy hearts and gratitude for a life well lived, we share that our beloved father, brother, and grandfather, Alvin “Al” Bengtson, passed away peacefully early Sunday, October 11, 2026. Al was a man of God, an electrical engineer, and a passionate photographer. We will remember his warmth, his smile, his humor, and his love for people. His faith shaped his care for others, and he touched many lives through everyday kindness. He is survived by his brother, Roger Bengtson; his children, Mike, Kristi Machemer, and Dave Bengtson; his grandchildren, Lauren, Emily, Josh, Reagan, Drew, Alex, and Nick; and his cherished nieces.

Please join us in celebrating his life.
