Alan Lloyd Smith, age 90, of Branson, Missouri, passed away December 30, 2023. He entered this life April 26, 1933, in Lockport, New York, the son of Lloyd and Mabel (Bruning) Smith. He was joined in marriage August 17, 1968, to Joanne Elizabeth Hawkins.

Proudly serving our country in both the United States Navy and United States Air Force, Alan was a career military man for more than twenty-two years, serving during both Korea and Vietnam. He was known for being kind, considerate, caring, giving, and loving. Alan could be found watching old westerns, listening to “Big Band” music, going to Branson shows, gardening, hunting, fishing, and cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Many lives were influenced by his being part of them and his sharing of himself. He will be greatly missed.

Alan’s parents have preceded him in death.

Alan is survived by his wife of 55 years, Joanne Smith; three sons: Jeffrey (Marie) Brent Smith of Redcliff, Alberta, Canada; Charles Albert John Smith of Hollister, Missouri, and Donald (Jennifer) Vaughan Smith of Saginaw, Minnesota; sister, Ann (Phil) Mead of Shelburne, Vermont; seven grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; nieces, nephews, and extended family.

A celebration of life will be planned for a later time. Alan’s final resting place will be in the Royalton Mountain Ridge Cemetery, Middleport, New York.
