He was born April 29, 1947 in South Boston, Massachusetts. He was proud to be a retired firefighter for the Air National Guard and a veteran of the United States Air Force.

He is survived by his loving wife of 29 years, Elizabeth McEachern; two children, Dawn Marie McEachern of Minnesota and Alan McEachern, Jr. of New Hampshire. He has one living sister, Karen Rancourt of Massachusetts; and many nieces and nephews that loved him. Alan leaves behind many good friends and former colleagues. Alan will be missed by all.
Alan was preceded in death by his parents, Alexander and Pauline McEachern; and three brothers, Donald McEachern, Dennis McEachern, and Adrian McEachern.
