It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Alan Arthur Netherton on 4th February 2026, aged 80.
Born in Plymouth, Alan was a hardworking and dedicated lorry driver who took great pride in providing for his family. He loved tinkering with cars and servicing them himself, was a keen gardener, kept ponds with goldfish, and for a time cared for birds in his aviary. These hobbies reflected his patience, care and quiet dedication.
Above all, Alan was a devoted father and grandfather. He leaves behind his loving daughters, Samantha, Natasha and Gemma, and his son Steven, along with many cherished grandchildren.
He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
The funeral service will be held on 4th March 2026 at 10:00am at Morice Baptist Church, Ham Drive, Plymouth PL2 2NJ, followed by burial at Weston Mill Cemetery.
Flowers may be sent to The Earl of Plymouth Funeral Directors, 23 Wolseley Road, Milehouse, Plymouth PL2 3AA.
Rest in peace. 💛
