Alan Edward Johns, beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, passed away peacefully at the age of 82 in Lacombe, Alberta.

Alan was a long-time pillar of the community, having been an owner and then part-owner of Lacombe Agencies Ltd, as well as part-owner of businesses in both travel and real estate. His tireless involvement in the community also included time helping with St. Andrew's United Church, Lacombe Chamber of Commerce, Lacombe Kinsmen Club, Lacombe Minor Hockey, Lacombe Minor Baseball just to mention a few.
After retiring, he continued to give to others by volunteering his time and service to various organizations within the community including the Lacombe Seniors Lodge. Alan loved to be outside and he spent a lot of time in his yard and garden, as well as walking or riding his bike around town. Although he will be greatly missed by family and friends, we take comfort in knowing that he is with his Heavenly Father.
