The family of Alan Randall Burnia Sr. has invited the Patriot Guard to join them in paying honors to this American Hero, it will be our honor to do so.
Alan was born in Fort Sill, Oklahoma on March 27, 1950. Upon completion of high school, Alan joined the United States Army. He joined during the Vietnam conflict. Although Alan never deployed to Vietnam, Alan never lost sight of the price that was paid for freedom.
After separation from the service with an honorable discharge, Alan went to work in the oil fields of Oklahoma. He worked in the fields for 10 yrs.
Alan went home to be with the Lord on Saturday Oct. 25 in Long Beach, Calif.
Alan was preceded in death by the love of his life wife Jacqueline, Daughter Kristina, both parents, and one sister, and one granddaughter.
Alan is survived by his 3 children, Alan Burnia Jr., Julie Burnia, and Daniel Custodio, and 6 Grandchildren.
