Alton was a true outdoorsman, cowboy, cherished grandfather, devoted father, beloved brother and loving husband. Alton lived a life of hunting, fishing and spending time with the family. His passion for the outdoors was matched only by the love he held for his family. Whether he was riding a horse, or later in life his 4 wheelers and side by sides, his spirit of adventure and generosity knew no bounds. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories etched into the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him. Though he may have ridden off into the sunset, his spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him dearly. Rest easy, cowboy, your journey continues on the eternal trail.
