Alan Marvin Heil, age 71, of West Allis, died unexpectedly on June 3, 2025 at his residence. The family is deeply saddened and shocked by his sudden death. He was born September 21, 1953 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a son of the late Marvin Matthias and Helen (Szemborski) Heil.

Alan started his career as a journeyman machinist and repairman in 1970 working alongside his father, brothers, and cousins at Babcock & Wilcox. He spent many years there as well as AO Smith and WI Nipple before enjoying his retirement. Outside of work, Al found joy in the outdoors and hunting, while listening to rock music with his wife. In his later years he enjoyed spending time with his son Eric on fun projects.
