Alan Shuma Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Estey, Munroe & Fahey Funeral Home - Owego on Dec. 24, 2025.
Alan M. Shuma, 42, of Owego, New York, unexpectedly passed away Tuesday, December 23, 2025. Alan is survived by his mother and stepfather, Karen and Philip Balan; father, Mark Shuma; sister, Lindsey Shuma and her fiance Garrett Casey; Brother and sister-in-law, Danny and Maureen Shuma; nephew, Leon Casey; nieces, Olivia and Charlotte Shuma; several aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family members and friends. Alan was predeceased by his special companion, Axel.

Alan was an adventure loving thrill seeker who loved life and was always looking for the next big thing. He loved the outdoors, including camping, fishing, boating and surfing. He was very creative and loved creating and building, whether it was turning a cardboard box into an artistic statement or building personalized walking sticks. Alan had a heart of gold, dropping anything he was doing to help a friend or neighbor. His sense of humor and his smile will be dearly missed.

May your soul rest in peace, Alan. The memories we shared during our high school and college years remain a quiet blessing in my life. Though you are no longer with us in this world, your spirit lives on in those moments of laughter, friendship, and youth that time can never erase. May you be held in eternal light, and may those who remember you find comfort in knowing that love and friendship never truly end. - Tran
