Alan Hardy Prather

Alan was someone I respected, but more importantly, I liked him. We had fun beginning in the '80s which morphed into a working relationship. He was a good man, and I will miss him. His family and friends are in my prayers.

Alan touched many of us as only he could do. Any encounter with him had you smiling. I often said he´d mastered the art of never getting an ulcer. He knew how to squeeze the most out of life. Alan was gracious enough to serve as a groomsman in our wedding and we have such fond memories of that. Our hunting and fishing trips together will always be great memories. Our community has lost a great warrior and I have lost a dear friend. May God´s amazing peace fall on Beverly and the family and...

Alan always had a smile on his face and something funny to say. The passion to serve was often hidden behind his humor. He was one of a kind and will be missed!

It is with great sadness to learn of Alan’s passing. He was one of the nicest person that I knew in my life. He will be missed greatly by this community. May God Bless his family and give peace and comfort to them!

My deepest sympathies to Beverly and the family. My heart is broken with yours.
Alan will be remembered as a kind, intelligent and an incredibly funny man.
He has left and indelible mark on our community and will be sorely missed. Jim & Sandy Boyd
