"May everyone who knew and loved Alan find peace and comfort in prayer and reflection on what an incredible man he was and the success of his life?s journey. Whether it be a parent losing a child, a child losing a parent, a sibling losing a sibling, a fiancé losing their partner in love and life, or just a friend, each who have experienced Alan?s passing are impacted in their own personal way. Pray that every one may find solace in knowing he is no longer in pain and has been greeted in heaven by the family who preceded him. My heartfelt condolences to Bobbie and Gary, to Dylan, Emma, and Brandon, to each and every relative and especially to Brittany Ann who stayed by his side with love and care especially during his time of illness. Whether close or distant, Alan was loved by all who knew him and he will be missed."
