Jan Peter Torgny Stalmarck

Jan Peter Torgny Stalmarck, age 71, passed away on Oct. 14, 2107, at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center in Palmer, Alaska.

Jan was born in Helsingborg, Sweden on Oct. 14, 1946 to Torgny and Irma (Safve) Stalmarck. He embarked on an adventure with his uncle, moving to Alaska in 1963. Jan joined the United States Army and served his country via the 5th Special Forces Group during Vietnam. Jan made Wasilla, Alaska his permanent home after his service in the military. A true “jack-of-all-trades”, he spent his life working with electronic components, running cameras for Channel 2, fixing office equipment for Barrett’s Office Supply, and opening AlTech. Jan retired in 1989 and spent his days raising his son.

His family will remember Jan as always having a way to fix anything, always being up for a good conversation, and passing along his knowledge to anyone that would listen. He spent his free time reading countless books, fishing, and “tinkering.”

He is preceded in death by his mother, AnnaLisa Safve; Uncle Rune Safve; and Aunt UllaBritt Engkvist.

Jan is survived by his son, Severin (Kayla) Stalmarck of Alaska; daughter, Erica Stalmarck of Oregon; daughter, Shay (Edward) Williams of Virginia; granddaughter, Kristina Snell of Alaska; grandsons: Mason Sanders, Wyatt and Viggo Stalmarck all of Alaska; niece Pernilla (Steve) Werninger of Wisconsin; nephew, Jan Philip (Courtney) Holstrom of Washington; cousin Ulf (Sue) Safve of Oregon, and many family members in Sweden.

Arrangements cared for by Janssen’s Mat-Su Funeral Home. Celebration of Life in memory of Jan will be held in the summer of 2018.
