Alan K. Payton passed away on August 18, 2021, at the age of 68, in his hometown of New Albany, Indiana. He was born on May 20, 1953 in New Albany, Indiana.
His battle with cancer showed his courage in facing life challenges with a smile and his colorful sense of humor. Despite the pain, Alan came out a hero to his family and stayed strong until the end.

It was love at first sight and their marriage continued for 44 years.
Alan is survived by his wife, Dana (Harris), two sons Jason and Justin, his grandson Cooper, his brother Jerry Payton and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents Betty "Boots" Leach and Earl "Bud" Payton.
