He graduated from Enid High School and went to college at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, OK. Alan was married twice, first to Saundra Sweet, and they had daughter Ginger. His second marriage was to Janie Newell, and they had sons Mike and Chris. He retired from Great Lakes Carbon Plant in Kremlin after working there for over 40 years.

Alan was an avid bowler and still played in leagues each season. He loved camping and fishing with friends and family, loved to ride his motorcycles and was active in the Oklahoma motorcycle community. Most of all Alan loved to spend time with his kids and was a very proud Papa to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
