Today has been a really hard day for me & for so many others. Today we mourn the loss of Alan Denton who was an awesome friend to many, a wonderful husband, an awesome father, & a terrific son . My friend & big brother, growing up, was killed last night in a tragic accident. Alan was 38 years old. He was killed while driving to his parents house. He was RIGHT in front of his parents home (he almost made his destination) when a 21 yr. old kid fell asleep driving his truck & came into Alan's lane & ran over him. His 3 yr. old son, Logan, was in the car with him. He is banged up, has a broken leg & is an emotional wreck - but he survived. Alan's poor parents were the first on the scene. (Alan's younger brother, Chris, died of cancer 4 years ago.) I can't even imagine what his parents are going through losing 2 of their children.
To Alan, my friend. Thank you for being my big brother & taking care of me in High School. We had so much fun (Alan, Joe, Sarah, & I) riding to school together after seminary. Our everyday ritual, after seminary, was to either go to McDonalds or the Donut Shop for breakfast, before heading to school. You always gave me a hard time about how proper I would eat & how it took me soooo long to get my bisquit ready to eat that everyone else was already finished with their breakfast when I got started. We also had so much fun, the four of us, going to Stake Dances in Longview. Thank you for always taking care of me, for all the laughs, & for being such a great friend! You will be greatly missed.
To Alan's sweet wife, to his 5 children, his parents, & his brother & sister, I love you & my heart goes out to you.
Today made me realize that Life is too short! You never know when it will be your time or when someone you love will be taken from this earth in an instance. Life is tooo short to stay mad at your loved ones and friends. Life is toooo short so we need to Live, Laugh, & Love EVERY day. Never let a day pass that you don't tell your family how much you love them. Never let a day pass that you don't kiss your spouse & children.
