Debbie and girls: Thank you for allowing us mere mortals to enjoy Alan’s musical talents! I can’t even imagine a time that he performed and I wasn’t enthralled by his beautiful voice. God certainly gave him a gift!!!!
As we say our farewells, remember it’s not forever it’s just letting everyone know we’ll see again - VERY SOON !

Hi Debbie and family, I know you and Alan have been together for many years. No doubt you will miss him on a daily basis but have some comfort in in knowing he now has eternal life and will watch over you. Living in Colorado it is difficult for me to come to everything I would like to so know I will be thinking of you and all your family as you lay him to rest. Class of 72' will miss him also.

Debbie,

I have great memories as I was growing up in Navasota with you and Alan and then we all crossed the Brazos River to Brenham to live where I saw you all again. My heart goes out to you and the girls and Alan will be greatly missed.

Debbie and girls, Thank you for sharing your husband and Dad with this community. Alan was a great example for many in our community. May your memories bring you joy and your faith give you comfort and peace.

My most heartfelt condolences for the family. Alan was such a good man. Loved and admired by the fire investigators in Deep South Texas. Rest in Peace my Amigo.

Debbie and family- My deepest sympathy!

He really loved his life through his work, music and family . The whole community of the Brenham Fire department look up and with respect. Always wonder how he could keep up with everything? He manage to do his very best work and love with Debbie and their children. So many good times with him and all the family . Will truly be a void in my heart when I don’t see him .around . Know that he is looking down at the whole family he loves tin some way he will let us know it’will be ok . Alan always was positive and calm . Love his sweet smile . So sorry he is gone from here but know we all will be together one day . Love to my dearest Sister strong as a bull . Know Alan is counting on her to keep things going . Prayers always . BAnn
