Alan Gerald Cherry

I first met Alan in a religion class at BYU. I knew nothing about him at the time, but I enjoyed my interaction with him and his charismatic personality. People were naturally drawn to him. Later, I learned how gifted he was in touching the lives of others, not by him but by talking with others.

Alan genuinely loved people, and it showed. He was truly a disciple of Christ.

Cherry Family, your father was always so cheerful and happy to be around, even when faced with countless challenges in life. He loved spending time with you. I'll not forget his beautiful smile, his desire to include others, or the happiness he emanated. My heartfelt prayers and love are extended to each of you at this tender time.
