Allan Emil Ilgen was born September 25, 1947 in Birchdale Township, Todd County, Minnesota to Oscar and Olga (Lietz) Ilgen. He was united in marriage to his high school sweetheart, Bonnie Hedglin, on October 12, 1968 at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Sauk Centre. Allan grew up on the family farm northeast of Sauk Centre and continued to farm there until his retirement in 1993. He was a member of St. Paul's Catholic Church in Sauk Centre. Allan enjoyed snowmobiling and fishing, especially when it came to ice fishing. He loved hosting fish frys and pig roasts for all his family and neighbors. Allan was truly a family man who loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was known by many to be a prankster!
Survivors include his loving wife of 55 years, Bonnie Ilgen of Sauk Centre; children, Darin (Brenda) Ilgen of Sauk Centre, Dustin Ilgen of Sauk Centre, and Debbie (Tracy) McKee of Burnsville; four grandchildren, Breanne (Jake) Hinnenkamp, Taylor (Korey) O'Donnell, Nick (Tracy) Wanderscheid, and Landon Ilgen; two great-grandchildren, Kenzie and Clavin; and many loving relatives, friends, and neighbors.
Allan was preceded in death by his parents; step-mother, Ethel (Rogers) Ilgen; and brothers, Harland, Carl and Dean Ilgen.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred.
