Alan was a breath of fresh air! Always joyfully and ready for the next laugh. I have watched him grow into a fine young man, husband, and father. I will miss you so, but understand that playing football, baseball, and fishing with Jesus has to be so so much better.
Until we meet again, my nephew.
Mark and Tonya Ingle
