Marion McAlpin

We are going to miss a great, good hearted friend. For those of you unable to attend his funeral, know that it was true tribute to his life. Stories were told, a beer saluate at the gravesite, and good friends meeting at Abies in Ashley to tell "Mucker" stories.
Marion touched so many different circles of friends and we all came together to tell the same stories. We are very lucky to be included in the circle of friends. He will truely be missed in a big way, just like he always did...

He touched so many lives, so in small ways and some in larger ones. Thanks for the memories!

To the man that introduced me to the West. I'll never again sleep in the clothes I cooked in on Shadow Mountain. May everyone learn what it means to have a huge heart and still take care of what's right. Brother you will be missed, but never forgotten....

My condolences go out to the family. My Dad/Les (Teamster Brother) and Marion were good friends for so many years now I couldn't help but think of Marion as an Uncle. Once while we were kids our house was robbed and Marion took me aside and told me not to EVER worry because if my brother or I were ever scared or in danger we just had to call him and he would be there-that he would NEVER let anything happen to us..and I knew that he meant it.

He will be missed by many..

My heart goes out to all of Marion's family and many,many friends, as for me, I will really miss the many great stories Marion always had as well as the company of a great camping companion,and master ice cream maker.He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Marion was a great friend, a free spirit. We will miss him dearly. Marion, may your stories live on through the lives you've touched.
