Kenneth Heppner

Kenneth Heppner, age 56 years, of Altona, formerly of the Morris area passed away on Friday, May 23, 2025 at the Altona Memorial Health Centre.

Ken was born April 16, 1969 to Ed & Diane Heppner in the Altona Hospital. He grew up on the family farm and after graduating high school, he moved to Altona, eventually buying his own house and living there for a few years.

He eventually moved to Winnipeg, where he worked as a Red Seal Journeyman carpenter. He worked on many large projects in the city, as site supervisor and was proud of his career. He was a hard worker and met many friends along the way.

He eventually purchased a small house near Morris, where he lived for the past few years. He worked less as his physical and mental health declined.

He was admitted to hospital last October, and eventually returned to his home community. His health stabilized for a short time and actually improved enough for him to start to enjoy visits from family and friends.

Suddenly, his health declined and he passed away Friday, May 23, at the Altona Memorial Health Center.

He leaves his mother Diane Heppner, brothers Wayne Heppner and Gerry (Tammy) Heppner and sister Debi Schroeder (Jack) as well as 3 nieces, 2 nephews and 1 great nephew to mourn his passing. He was predeceased by his father Ed Heppner, and brother Rick Heppner.

A private graveside service was held at the Hochstadt Cemetery.
