Alton was a faithful and loving husband, a great Dad, and a proud grandfather. An excellent provider for his family, he often sacrificed his own needs for the sake of his family and friends. He was a hard worker and worked for many years in the timber industry as a logger. In his spare time, he enjoyed hunting, especially hog hunting, but most importantly he enjoyed spending time with his family that he dearly loved. We take comfort in knowing one day we will be reunited with him in Heaven.
