Alton loved the outdoors and all God’s creatures, especially his horses. He treasured his memories from the time he spent working as a young cowboy on King Ranch in Kingsville, Texas as well as his time working in his local community.
You could always find him at a gospel singing, visiting with friends and neighbors along with his sidekick and best friend Archie Smith, taking a road trip or retelling stories from the past that no one else could seem to remember. He adored his wife, children and grandchildren and treated every stranger as though he had known them for a lifetime. He loved Jesus, his family, people, and life itself! He was the epitome of a Christian walk. He was content in all of life’s tests and trials and attempted to share the love of Christ with everyone he met. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
