Alan McAfee Obituary
McAfee, Alan
Died on Sunday, January 19, 2020, surrounded by family and friends. The son of Jane Williams and Dr. C. Alan McAfee, Al was born on May 26, 1954 in St. Louis, Missouri.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Corinne, stepson Abraham Mitchell (Amanda Pope), grandsons Dominic and Abraham Mitchell of St. Louis and his sister, Nancy McAfee of Houston, TX, his Uncle Bob (Dixie) Williams of Atlanta, GA and many cousins, nieces and nephews. A graduate of the University of Tulsa, he spent his career at Loy-Lange Box Company.
Al was a passionate fly fisherman with a widely appreciated sense of humor. He was devoted to his wife, family and friends, clients and co-workers, his dogs, baseball and music. Fiercely loyal to his ideals and those he cared about, Al possessed a quiet reverence for all life. Above all, he was a strong and gentle man.
Services: A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 25th at The Focal Point, 2720 Sutton Blvd. in Maplewood. A celebration of Al's life will follow from 3 until 5 p.m. Contributions in lieu of flowers, please, to American Rivers or the Humane Society.

His close friends called him "Big Al" during his youth, not because of his physical stature, but because his heart was giant. He was loyal and trustworthy and always had his friend's backs. We had so much fun and so many belly laughs. RIP Big Al.

His good friends called him "Big Al" during his youth even though he was never tall. It was his heart that was giant. Al was a true friend, immensely loyal, and the kind that you knew would have your back. We had so much fun and so many incredible belly laughs. RIP, Big Al.

"Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought, but that was the thing I was born for" Rest in peace my great friend.

Rest in peace my friend. Though I didn't know you well, you and your wife were very kind to me when we met in Montana as well as when you opened your home to me on my way through St. Louis on another of my western trips. I smile when I retell your story of encountering a grizzly on Slough Creek in Yellowstone National Park. I look forward to our next meeting.
