Halen was an "old soul" who loved the Beatles, even if it wasn't "cool." What most people will remember about him is his ability to make us all laugh. He loved nothing more than playing practical jokes on those around him. He was a loving son, a respected big brother, and a considerate friend to all.

Halen is survived by his parents Melanie (Steve) Tank-Hirsch of St. Cloud, MN and Todd Hirsch of Foreston, MN; brothers Laken and Gatlin; grandparents Don and Corrine Soyring of Detroit Lakes, MN and Ken and Eloise Hirsch of Aitkin, MN; great-grandmother Marcelline Brunn of Plymouth, MN; also many aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends.
