Alton was born July 7, 1935, in Leesville, LA and passed away October 1, 2021, in Katy, TX at the age of 86. For 65 years, he worked in the wholesale sign supply business, and for the last 32 years, he owned Herring Sales Inc. in Houston, TX. He was a longtime member of Mt. Bethel Baptist Church and an avid hunter. He enjoyed hunting turkey, quail, and doves, but hunting deer was his passion. Alton had a larger-than-life personality and left his mark on anyone who met him. He was a well respected gentleman and many sought his advice. Alton could also be the life of the party and loved to tell stories. Once you met him, you never forgot him.
Alton was preceded in death by his first wife, Lois Herring; parents, John Arnold Herring and Gracie Haymon Herring; granddaughter, Krystal Naomi Herring; and great granddaughter, Elizabeth Hope Herring.
