Sean Sloan Obituary

Sean Xavier Sloan of Anchorage passed away at his home on May 9, 2011. He was born in Houston, Texas, on May 22, 1964, to Bob and Margaret Sloan. His family moved to Alaska in 1965, settling in Palmer, where he grew up with his three sisters, Letha, Roberta, and Arletta.

Sean worked at The Anchorage Times until it closed; Alaska Commercial Company and finally at the Second Chance on Spenard Road, where he found a home among like-minded people. He is remembered for his kindness and his quietly perverse humor.

He was preceded in death by his nephew, Michael Mumphry; both sets of grandparents; his aunts, Loretta and Bonnie; his brother-in-law, Alan Butts; and two close friends, Sam Maus and Kirk Momartz. He is survived by his twice-former wife and dear friend for life, Diana Harrison; his three children, Andrew Hager, Tiffany and Braden Sloan; his granddaughters, Glacia and Honey Jade; his parents, Bob and Margaret Sloan; and his sisters, Letha Butts, Roberta Soolook and Arletta Sloan; as well as many nieces and nephews.

A memorial gathering for Sean will be held at Fox Run Lodge, located at 4466 S. Glenn Highway near Palmer, on May 22, 2011 between 3 and 5 p.m. If you have memories of Sean that you wish to share, please visit the group 'In Memory of Sean' on Facebook.

My condolences to Sean's family and loved ones. I knew Sean from the Second Chance store. What a great guy he was! Funny and always had something interesting to talk about or he would give me advise on all kinds of topics. Just a genuine nice guy that will be sorely missed. My friend, Sean, may you rest in peace and god bless you.
