Alton Slaughter Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 8, 2019.
Alton passed away in August 2019. After serving proudly in the U.S. Air Force, Gene moved to Plano, Tx. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, August 11, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. at the Kaufman County Cowboy Church, 5970 State Hwy 243, Kaufman, Texas. As he wished, Gene was cremated; part of his ashes will be interred with his wife Nannette in a private service and the remainder will be scattered at a later time over two of his favorite places - Wolf Creek Pass and Engineer Pass in the mountains of southern Colorado. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Dallas Cat Lady rescue group, dallascatlady.org or his place of worship, the Kaufman County Cowboy Church, kaufmancountycowboychurch.org.
