Hearts are saddened at the loss of Alan Dunaway, 57, who had battled cancer and diabetes since 1995. He died Monday, Aug. 4, 2008.
Memorial service: 10 a.m. Friday at First Baptist Church, 403 S. Main, Irving. Alan chose cremation for his body and heaven for his soul.
Born April 18, 1951, Alan was the first child of Ray and Euclid Dunaway, who preceded him in death. He was raised in Irving and was active and excelled in sports, from YMCA PeeWee through his basketball guard position at TCU and on to adult league softball. He worked in the wholesale pharmaceutical industry until 2000, a career he loved because of his co-workers and the many friends he made at the pharmacies he serviced throughout the Metroplex and surrounding areas, living in Grand Prairie during this time.
Besides the love for his family and friends, Alan enjoyed sports, music, traveling, fishing and a friendly game of poker or an evening at the blackjack table. He cherished his childhood friends and coaches and looked forward to their annual "guys' weekend getaway." He enjoyed telling jokes or stories that would cause a smile and laughter to anyone listening.
Alan can best be described in two words: faithful and dependable. If he loved you, it was deeply and if you were his friend, it was for life.
Survivors: His wife, Mary; daughters, Allison Dunaway-Osborn and Lolly Lroy; Mary's son, Kirk Berry and wife, Tiffany; his sisters and brothers-in-law, Kay and Bill Smith and Gayla and Kevin Howell; grandchildren, aunt, uncle, special nieces, nephews and other relatives; numerous friends; and his most beloved and loyal companion, Sunshine.
