Albert Eggert

December 8, 1936 ~ April 28, 2025

Albert “Al” Eggert passed away surrounded by his loving family on April 28, 2025. Al gracefully navigated vascular dementia in his last years, maintaining his welcoming demeanor, charming smile and great sense of humor.

Al was born to Agnes Von Wald and Albert De Ponti, on December 8, 1936 on the east side of St. Paul, Minnesota. Later Al was lovingly adopted by Warren Eggert. As the oldest of five siblings, his ability to lead was recognized early.

Al attended St. Thomas Academy in his youth and later went on to graduate from the University of St. Thomas. He began his career at 3M in the mail room and in his 39 years lived multiple places and diligently worked his way up to healthcare vice-president. He eventually made his way back to St. Paul, and retired.

Upon retirement, Al and his faithful wife of 58 years, increased their travel and time visiting their children and grandchildren. Two years ago, they moved to Salt Lake City to be closer to family. Al sat on numerous boards and committees to improve the lives of others. Among them, many years on the board of Healtheast as well as president of Mission Valley Country Club. He also was very proud and integral in the building and fundraising of St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Sandy.

Al was a devoted Catholic and man of God. He taught his children the importance of grace, caring and compassion for those less fortunate, and it was manifested in his volunteer work in multiple areas.

He is preceded in death by his parents Agnes and Warren Eggert, his in-laws Paul and Mildred Carr, his sister Diana Eggert, and his niece Lisa (Eggert) Susag. He is survived by his wife Joan Carr Eggert, Chris Eggert (Rhea Gray), Carol (Carl) Samberg, Celeste Eggert (Jerry Moore), Charlotte (Jacob) Shragge, his grandchildren Allie, Christian, Michael, Maddie and Emerson. He is also survived by his brothers James Eggert (Pam), Michael Eggert (Sue), Thomas (Sandy), and his many nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life will be held in his honor on what would have been Al and Joan’s 59th wedding anniversary, September 10, 2025 from 6-8 p.m. at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City.

Donations can be made in his honor to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.
