Alan A. Soderstrom

I shared several classes one summer at UCO with Alan. Music for Elementary Teachers was one of them. I had already been out teaching Elementary Music for a semester, so it was a piece of cake for me. Alan was always a pleasant fun guy to be around. Unfortunately I did not have contact with him after that summer. Such a great guy. Sorry to see this. Condolences to his family.

Alan and Marie entered our lives almost almost 20 years ago when their wonderful and extraordinary son, Clint, met and married our daughter, Chesney, while both where attending Oklahoma State University. Through the years we have grown to respect, admire, and love the Soderstrom family. And have been extremely blessed by sharing 4 amazing grandchildren together Bella, Max, Hattie, and Zeke. With saddened and heavy hearts we offer our most sincere condolences and may you be blessed with many...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Our Prayers are with Marie and the family...Alan was a wonderful person and will be missed by so many...His love of his family and his country is going to be a void for so many...thank you Alan for serving your country , May you rest in peace thru eternity....
