SPC. ALAN N. BEAN JR. BRIDPORT - Spc. Alan N. Bean Jr. died unexpectedly on Tuesday, May 25, 2004, in Iskandariya, Iraq, while serving with the 1/86th Field Artillery Unit that was deployed from Vermont in January of 2004. Alan was born in Burlington on March 11, 1982. He grew up in Charlotte and attended Champlain Valley Union High School. Alan joined the Army National Guard in 2000, attending boot camp in Fort Knox, Ky., and Advanced Individualized Training in Edgewood, Md. Alan was promoted to sergeant posthumously. A country boy by nature, Alan loved the outdoors, and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He is accurately described as a man who was not concerned with material possessions and was perfectly happy with his rusty pickup truck and a sixpack of beer. He had a sense of humor that was only overpowered by his kindness. To know him was to love him.

Services are to be held St. Peter Church directly after. Burial will be in the Grand View Cemetery in Charlotte. There will be a reception to celebrate Alan's life at the family home in Bridport.
