Albert Bernhard Klippenstine, aged 85, passed away on Friday September 12, 2025. Born September 8, 1940, in Oak Lake, Manitoba. Albert was a man of devotion to his family, friends, and church.
Albert spent his career as a Journeyman Carpenter and Engineering Technician designing homes and buildings with precision and craftsmanship. At home, he was a loving father of two sons, Cory (Dee) and Kent (MaryEllen), a grandfather of five, Benjamin, Katherine, Alexander, Abbie, Jacob, and husband of his wife, Eleanor, of 54 years. Albert’s dedication to his family and his church was unwavering. He is survived by his sister, Irene (Ben), brother, Peter (Colleen), and sister-in-law LeEllen. Albert was predeceased by his parents, Peter and Katherine, brother, Ernie and sister-in-law Brenda.
Albert graduated from Red River College as a carpenter in 1969 and served his apprenticeship at J&G Homes in Brandon. To further his career, Albert moved to Lethbridge, Alberta where he met Eleanor at church. They were married and continued to live in Lethbridge until they had their first son, Cory. They moved to Brandon, Manitoba planting their roots and where their second son, Kent, was born. Albert and Eleanor are members of the First Baptist Church in Brandon since 1979. Albert opened his own business, Bren Kort Construction, before shutting it down, and working for the Department of Defense at Shilo, Manitoba where he retired in 2006 serving 19 years. Albert was a man who loved simple things; bowling was a favorite hobby, and he cherished his time singing in numerous choirs.
A Memorial Service will take place at First Baptist Church, 3881 Park Ave, Brandon, Mb, on Monday, September 22, 2025, at 11:00 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Alberts memory be made to Parkinson Canada 316-4211 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON M2P 2A9.

I had the great pleasure to have worked with Albert in Shilo and looked up to him as a mentor and over the nine years we worked together was able to call him a friend. Once he retired, it was great to see him and catch up at choir events that Albert and my daughter performed at. My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to Eleanor and family. - Posted by: Rob Hutchings (Co-worker/Friend) on: Sep 19, 2025
