Alan lived with his grandparents in Blockton, Iowa most of the time while growing up. He graduated from Bedford High School in 1983.
Alan often talked about his trail rides he went on with his long time friend Brian Lawrence and the mules. He loved to hunt and fish especially for walleye, bass and morel mushrooms, though he would never tell anyone his secret places. He enjoyed spending time with long time friend Marvin Baker and the team of horses and especially his recent trip to the Kentucky derby which was a long time dream of his.
Alan was very passionate about farming and wheat harvest. Anyone who knew Alan knew he had a nickname for everyone and a smart comment to follow. The line you heard the most was “Here’s the deal” but with all his sarcasm and deals he had a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off his back. Alan loved his family and his friends very much. He was a wonderful father, grandpa, brother, and son.
