Allen Hornecker, 39, died at home on Oct. 22 after a long battle with
brain cancer. Mr. Hornecker was born on May 19, 1968 in Kansas City,
Missouri. He spent his childhood exploring the fields and fishing holes
of Storm Lake, Iowa. From an early age he loved working with his hands
- a passion that lead him to learn carpentry, wood turning and
sculpture under the guidance of his father, Mac Hornecker, a nationally
acclaimed sculptor. In 1986, he graduated from Storm Lake High School
poised to study aeronautical engineering at Iowa State University.
However, his love for the stagecraft won out and he went
behind-the-scenes to earn a BA in technical theatre design.

However, his love for the stagecraft won out and he went
behind-the-scenes to earn a BA in technical theatre design. ![]() Over the next few years, he worked as the technical director for the Unicorn Theatre in Kansas City before becoming the technical director of the Des Moines Metro Opera in 1991.

Mr. Hornecker became the assistant director of the Duxbury Art Association until his diagnosis in 2000. On Oct. 12, 2003, their son Noah was born.
