Obituary: Alvin Rebsom

Alvin Rebsom

Alvin Rebsom passed away in his home after a long battle with cancer on August 3, 2021 at the age of 69. He was known as Dad, Big Al, Albert, or Papa to his loving family. He was surrounded by all of them as Heaven gained a kind and beautiful soul that day. Al would do anything for anybody. He loved helping his family and many, many friends. Al was born in Dickinson, ND, to Edward and Katherine Rebsom. Al grew up on a farm southeast of Manning, ND with his three sisters and three brothers.

Al is survived by his wife Carol, daughter Carrie (John) Rigney, grandson Keith (Samantha) Rigney, and granddaughter Alyssia (Daquiri) Wright; son Alan (Pam) Rebsom, granddaughter Alex Rebsom, and great granddaughter Triniti Rebsom. Al also had many special nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family.

Al was preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Katherine Rebsom; brothers John Rebsom, Ken Rebsom, and Rodger Rebsom; sister Rita Rebsom; brother-in-law, David Stroh; father-in-law, Chris Schmalz; mother-in-law, Irene Schmalz; brother-in-law, David Schmalz, and granddaughter Kendra. 

Services were held Monday, August 9, at St. Bernard’s Catholic Church in Billings.

A special thank you to his close friends, who stood by him throughout his life and through his courageous battle with cancer. Al fought hard to beat his terminal illness and stay with us, but there was a bigger plan in mind for him. Our Big Al will forever be missed!
