With deep sadness, we share the passing of a much-loved son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Alan sadly passed away on 3rd March 2026 aged 64 years.
Alan was a wonderful son, that held a deep love and respect for his mother, as well as a fantastic brother, forever taking pride in his siblings. A devoted husband to Liz, he was a steady and loving presence in her life. A proud father to Jamie, Sophie, Darrel, and Leanne, he gave his family strength, guidance, and unwavering support. He was also a doting grandfather, whose warmth and kindness will be cherished in the memories of those who knew him.
He will be remembered not only for his love of family, but for his loyalty as a friend and the quiet, meaningful way he showed up for others.
He is deeply missed and will be held in our hearts always.
