Mr. Alan Scott Clingan, age 55, of Winnfield, Louisiana, passed away on February 28, 2026 at St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi after a brief illness. Scott was born August 1, 1970 in Little Rock, Arkansas to the union of Warren Don and Rose Marie Stinnett Clingan.

Scott loved the simple things in life- spending time outdoors, fishing, and hunting, Arkansas Razorback sports, Nascar and relaxing while watching TikTok videos. He found comfort in the familiarity and joy of everyday moments. He was deeply loved and will be missed more than words can express.

He was preceded in death by his parents Warren Don and Rose Marie Stinnett Clingan.
Those left to cherish his memory are his wife of 5 years, Melinda O'Neal Clingan; his sons, Brett Clingan, Christopher Clingan (Bri); his grandchildren, Acey and Aliza, who lovingly knew him as "Big Papa"and where truly the love of his life; his beloved fur baby Ellie; and his cat Jasper who was his TikTok watching companion. He also leaves behind extended family and many friends who will cherish his memory.

The family wishes to extended special thanks to Lagniappe Skilled Nursing Facility in Bastrop, Louisiana as well as the doctors and staff of St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi for their kindness, compassion, and care.

Scott's wishes were to be cremated. Services are under the care of Southern Funeral Homes of Winnfield. A private family memorial will be held at a later time.
