Allan Schonberg

Allan B. Schonberg



Allan B. Schonberg, 64, was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico in March 1956. Although he spent much of his life in Arizona and several years in California, he found his way back to Albuquerque approximately 25 years ago. He passed away on March 28, 2020, after struggling with health problems.

Allan grew up in Litchfield Park, Arizona where he developed a passion and exceptional talent for golf. He was a member of the high school state championship golf team for three years in a row, and later played on the semi-pro golf tour for several years. He could hit a golf ball straight, high and farther than most people could see! Allan worked for beer distributors for many years, and then switched careers to become a successful home appraiser. He was also a man of faith; he attended Sagebrush Church where he was baptized later in life.

Allan found joy in life from the many friends with whom he shared beer, laughs and a little conversation. They described him as "a man of few words with a very big heart" and "the big teddy bear at the end of the bar." He loved them dearly, just as they loved him.

Allan's parents, Al and Claudette Schonberg, predeceased him. He is survived by his sister Laura Hamblin (Chris); brother Eric Schonberg (Diana); niece Nicole Levin (Jeff and son Jackson); nephew Dylan Schonberg (April and daughter Ivy); as well as aunts, uncles and cousins. The family extends special appreciation and gratitude to Allan's close friend, Phyllis Busch, for handling Allan's affairs and being by his side throughout his hospitalization.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to Sagebrush Church

Later this year, when Allan's many friends can safely come together to toast him, reminisce about him and share hugs, there will be a get-together at his favorite watering hole.
