Alec Patrick Wiegel

With heavy hearts, we are saddened to announce the passing of our dear

brother Alec on January 26, 2025, in Sacramento, California. Alec spent his

lifetime in the Sacramento area attending local schools, including

Federico’s School of Cosmetology.

During his younger years Alec would spend his days outside riding his bike

everywhere, always looking for the next exciting adventure. His favorite

pastime was enjoying his spot along the American River: fishing, rafting the

San Juan Rapids, and skiff boarding. In 1989 he competed in the Eppie’s

Great Race, go team Highlander! He soon added hunting to his list of

outdoor activities when he joined the families’ annual, “Men’s Only Deer

Hunting” camping weekend. As an avid chef he loved watching Channel 6

cooking shows; always looking for tips on how to cook that perfect meal.

He took pride in his homegrown tomatoes from “Alec’s Garden” and the

eggs for his breakfast from his beloved chickens.

Alec received his cosmetology license in 1982 from Federico’s

Cosmetology School. Afterwards he began working at Lester’s Hair and

Skin where he continued to learn how to run a business. A few years later

he became an independent hairstylist and began his own business. In 1990

an exciting opportunity presented itself to Alec when he was hired as the

Creative Hairstylist for the Sacramento Kings Fast Break Dance Team from

1990 - 1994. He passionately spent the past 42 years doing what he loved,

and was blessed with co-workers and clients that became a part of his

family.

Alec’s infectious dimpled smile, along with his kindness and thoughtful

ways will forever be missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his sisters Cindy Voges (Brian), Edythe “Edy” Hanna

(Kyle), brothers Mark, John, Norman, and David (Hope). He also leaves

behind numerous nieces and nephews, extended family members, as well

as many loving friends. Alec was preceded in death by his parents, Henry

and Edith Wiegel and his little sister, Lisa.

Services will be private and held for immediate and extended family.

A casual Celebration of Life Luncheon will be held on Friday, April 25th, at

1:00 pm, at Cindy and Brian’s home. Please join us to share memories and

stories of Alec’s life.

“When I get where I’m going on the far side of the sky, the first thing that

I’m going to do is spread my wings and fly. When I get to where I’m going

and I see my Makers face I’ll stand forever in the light of His amazing

grace. I’ll leave my heart wide open I will love and have no fear. When I get

where I’m going they’ll be only happy tears. When I get to where I’m going

don’t cry for me down here”.
