Allen Hubert

Allen Glen Hubert, 91, from Toppenish, WA took Jesus’ hand on June 27, 2023, and left this world. He was born on November 15th, 1931, in Bellingham, WA. Al was a wonderful man, husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He had a servant’s heart, serving his country for 40 years, his state, his church, his community, and his family. Al was a man of integrity, honor, and he loved God and his country. The world has lost an amazing man and he will be greatly missed. Al is preceded in death by his father (Gus Hubert); mother (Katie Gallagher Hubert); brothers Don and Jim Hubert; sister Kay Kerney; and his loving wife of 66 years, Lavonda Uscola Hubert. He is survived by his daughters Cindy (Sam) Steinborn, Brenda Hubert, and “daughter” Lori Murray; one grandson, Ryker Steinborn, “granddaughters” Sheena Rodriquez, Megan (Paul) Barnett, and Kayla Murray; “great grandsons” Conner Whitaker (Belgica), Alex, Riley and, Jaxsen Rodriquez, and Henry Barnett; “great granddaughters” Catherine, Lucy, Eleanor, and Mabel Barnett. He is also survived by his sister Carol Wren, her children--nephews Keith (Vashti) Wren, Scott (Heather) Wren and niece Stephanie (Chris) Schlatter, as well as other numerous nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews. Al loved his family and enjoyed playing and attending sporting events, supporting his daughters in all their activities, hunting, camping, and working jigsaw puzzles. There was nothing more special to him than spending time with family, swimming in daughter Cindy’s pool, and attending baseball games with his daughter Brenda. Dad liked to call people “you turkey” in a joking way when he or anyone made a bonehead mistake. His son-in-law, Sam, and he would always joke around and tease everyone. What one couldn’t think of the other one did! His grandson, Ryker, used to claim grandpa needed to visit more often because we only fed him when grandpa was there. This was an ongoing family joke. Al graduated from Toppenish High School in 1950. During his high school years, he lettered in football, basketball, and baseball. After the Korean War Al was discharged from the Army and did a brief stint in professional baseball, being signed by the Milwaukee organization. Al went back into the military and served in the Army and Army National Guard for 40 years. He retired as the Washington State Command Sergeant Major in 1991. He served in Korea, during Vietnam and the first Gulf War. He loved and cared for his troops always. On one occasion he heard troops had not been fed while out on night maneuvers, so he rounded up some food with the help of the cooks and drove it out to the troops before he would eat his own dinner. Dad always said a true leader will not ask someone to do something they, themselves, are not willing to do. He stressed the importance to lead by example and that is how he lived his life. He truly walked the talk. After retiring from the military Al became active in city government and served on the Toppenish city council and as Mayor of Toppenish for several years. He also served on numerous city and county boards. In addition, Al was a member of the Toppenish Jaycees. He received several distinguished service awards as well as many military medals and commendations. The family would like to thank our wonderful family friends Connie Melton and Marsha Pastrana for providing dad rides to appointments, providing food, and supplying us with good conversations and laughter. You both are a blessing to our family. We have so many wonderful memories of our dad/grandpa and will miss him greatly! We know he is happy to see mom again and they are probably dancing to some big band sounds or Lawrence Welk music. Until we meet again! We love you!
