Alan Burtness, 39

Alan was born Jan. 23, 1973 and lost his courageous battle with liver disease on Jan. 12, 2013. Alan was just 11 days shy of having his fortieth birthday. Much too young, but his body was tired of fighting, and he knew what joy lie ahead as he left this world. Alan's family includes his two boys, Preston, 14, and Austin 13; mother and step-dad, Judy and Mick McGruder; brother, Jon; sister, Sandy; and many others, both family and friends. Alan owned and was very proud of his business PAC World. He was one of the biggest Denver Bronco fans around. Alan loved his boys more than anything and tried so hard to be the best dad he could. Alan had a kind heart and was a loving son, brother and dad. We will miss him more than words can say. Alan was at peace in his final days and accepted The Lord as his savior. We will have a memorial in the spring.

"For you Lord are good and ready to forgive and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon you". Psalm 86:5. Please visit Alan’s online memorial at www.belltowerfuneralhome.com
