Alan James Macdonald

Alan James MacDonald was called to his Heavenly home on December 18, 2018. Alan was born July 10, 1945 to Army Lt. James Albert and Sallie (Nichols) MacDonald in Saranac Lake, NY.

Hood, TX, and Anchorage, AK, the family retired to Security, CO where Alan graduated from Widefield High School and met his high school sweetheart and wife of 53 plus years Nancy (Rhein).

Alan loved the Lord, his family, rodeoing, western movies and novels, and the Denver Broncos. His children remember him for his consistent positive encouragement and teaching them faith in Jesus Christ, honesty, good work ethic, good sportsmanship, and to always do your best.
