It is with great sadness the family announce the passing of Alan Peter Colven on September 25, 2026 at the age of 73.  Alan was predeceased by his father, Peter and mother, Mabel.  

Alan was raised on the Colven family farm. He attended North Plain School from grades 1-8, Bethune Elementary School for Grade 9, and completing High School in Lumsden.

Alan farmed for a while before moving to Regina where he became employed by the Army and Navy Department Store. He thoroughly enjoyed his time there. He then moved back to become more involved with the family farm. 

Mabel & Alan eventually purchased a home in Bethune, they enjoyed spending time with family, especially Grandchildren who visited! They then made a move to Earl Grey, Sk. becoming very involved with their church community and friends. 

Alan began employment with the Moltz family who owned Sodbusters Hotel in Pense, Sk. He worked with them for about 5 years, enjoying his time there. Alan then made a move to Riverhurst, Sk. and was employed by the Palliser Park at Diefenbaker Lake. He also became a First Responder while living there, which he was also proud of.

Alan’s final move was to Moose Jaw, Sk. to reunite with family & friends, and to spend quality time with them. Alan was passionate about reading history & his daily Bible. 

Alan is survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins. He will be deeply missed by his close friends, and all those who’ve had the privilege of knowing him. An internment for Alan will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations in Alan’s name may be made to a charity of your choice. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.  Andrew Pratt, Funeral Director 306-693-4550
