Allen “Al” Francis Barth entered into eternal life on July 1st, 2025. He left this world peacefully surrounded by his loving wife and son.
Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 29th 1945, his early life was spent in Brookfield, WI before he moved to Big Bend, Wisconsin, where he graduated high school. After graduation he proceeded to become a draftsman for a company in town.
From 1965-1967 he served in the U.S. Army, and was sent to Vietnam where he was able to use his skills as a draftsman to draw plans for army barracks.
Upon return from the Army, Al went to apprenticeship school for carpentry, a profession he would hold for the next 40 years. He ultimately used his skills to design and build homes for both his brother and sister.
In 1978 he met his beloved wife Maria, and married in 1980. Following this blessed union they welcomed a wonderful son, Joshua. They lived blissfully in Brookfield for 45 yrs during their marriage.
Besides being a devoted husband and father, he loved to hunt and fish. He made many happy memories with his son Josh, wife Maria and his friend Les.
Al will be remembered for his easy smile, his quick wit, and how he loved so effortlessly. He was kind, funny, and made everyone feel happy in his presence. He was loved by many and will be dearly missed.
He is survived by his wife Maria, his son Josh, and many loving nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the wonderful staff at Lakewood Memory care, including the nurses Felicia, Tavia and Diamond among many others. Too many to name.
We would also like to extend a special gratitude to the RNs at Brighton Hospice, specifically Leanne and Annette, as well as a special thank you to Chaplain Brent, who was a source of strength.
Visitation will be held on Tuesday, July 8, at Krause Funeral Home Brookfield, 21600 West Capitol Drive, from 10:00 AM – 11:45 AM, with Service to follow at noon in the Chapel. Internment at Wisconsin Memorial Park, in Brookfield.
