He married his eternal companion, Heidi Maughan, on November 14th, 1980 in the Logan L.D.S. Temple. They made their home in Newton, Utah and later moved to Mendon. Alan was an avid sports fan. If he wasn't on the playing field, you could find him in front of the TV cheering on his favorite teams. He loved playing basketball, camping, hunting, and cycling. He completed the LOTOJA bike race form Logan to Jackson Hole, Wyoming three times in his cycling career. On his last race, he placed first in his category, completing his life-time goal in nine hours, seven minutes, and forty seconds.

He served in many capacities throughout the years with the majority of his time spent in the Young Men's Program and most recently as Elders Quorum President. Alan was always willing to give up his personal time to give service. His home was always open at anytime to those in need. Alan was a perfect example of selfless service. He was always the first one in line to help whoever was in need and to best serve them. The best word to describe his personality is "gravity." His wonderful smile and cheery, upbeat style made everyone want to be around him. We will truly miss him and the way he made light of every situation he encountered, great or small. The thing that Alan loved most of all was being with his family and providing for their needs. After his father passed away, Alan was very involved in caring for his mother and seeing to her needs.
