Pleasant Grove, Utah, lost a beloved peacemaker on September 4, 2023, as Alan Lee Jackman peacefully passed away at his home, surrounded by his loving family. Born on May 7, 1961, Alan's life was a testament to his compassionate nature and unwavering commitment to those he held dear.
Alan's journey began in Provo, where he attended Franklin Elementary, Dixon Middle School, and Provo High School where he graduated in 1979. He later embarked on a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Tallahassee, Florida, spreading his faith with dedication and grace.

In addition to the countless lives he touched through his compassionate nature, Alan was preceded in death by his parents, Nolan Ray Jackman and Carol Bell Jackman, and his brother, Stephen R. Jackman.

I don't recall that I knew Alan while we were in high school, even though we were in the same class, but I got to know him as we planned some of our class reunions. And I was so impressed. Alan was such a humble, kind, and good-natured man. He was faithful in coming to our planning meetings and worked with me on a number of issues related to the website. Alan was also fortunately patient iwth my lack of tech savvy. He always had a smile on his face. Alan's passing is assurendly a painful loss to his dear family. I express my sincere condolences on the loss of a husband, father, and genuinely good soul.

I didn't know Alan well but when I saw him in the halls or later at our reunion meetings we always greeted me with a great smile and a hello. I found him very patient and kind. I'm sad that he had to endure this sickness and that he lost his battle. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and two daughters. Alan you are a good Man and you will be greatly missed!

I got to know Alan through vocational electronics, and then we interacted some after missions. He was always a very kind, thoughtful, generous man. He was also a lot of fun. I am sad at his passing, and my condolences go out to his family and loved ones.

Alan was a good friend back in the day. He lived 2 blocks over from me and we were probably in the same class all of elementary school at Franklin School. He invited me to this group. I have a lot of old memories that include him. He will be missed.
