Alan was one of many of my nephews in our large extended family. From childhood to adulthood he was a joy to be around with his winning smile. Through the years we have had the opportunity to make some wonderful memories. Alan was a man of service, a Southern gentleman as well as many outstanding attributes he developed. His influence lives on as he touched the lives of all who crossed his path. I loved Alan like my own son. The void in our lives will be filled as we reflect on all the good he performed during his life on earth. May God be with each of us who loved Alan.

I was saddened to hear of Alan's passing.. I have very fond memories of Alan in high school. He shared Accounting class (Ms. Cato)and he use to play practical jokes on her. He will be sadly missed, but the Lord has gained a sweet soul. Rest in Peace my friend.
