Alan Eugene Hunter was born July 21, 1969, in Perham, MN, the son of Elmer and Dorothy (Scheiding) Hunter. Alan attended school in Perham, Minnesota, and later moved to Groton, South Dakota, to finish out his schooling years. Alan had a relationship with Heidi Licence. They had two children, Adam and Alicia. Alan was united in marriage to Tracy Kawlewski on October 2, 1999. They moved to Richville where they went on to have two children, Haley and Hannah.
Alan started out his beekeeping career while working with Leonard and Larry Sundberg. He then moved to Fergus Falls to work for Sundberg Apiaries as a beekeeper for David, Ellen, Mark, and Tanya Sundberg. Alan also enjoyed his part-time employment for Quaal Dairy with John, Connie, and Vernon. Each of his employers were like family to him and he always knew they felt the same of him.
Alan was a very giving man and was always willing to help everyone. You could always count on him. He was always joking around and loved to be the one to get his nieces and nephews riled up, he was the life of family events. Alan was a jack of all trades; there wasn't any project too big for him to take on. He continually worked to improve his and Tracy's home and would do anything to please her. He was, and is, the love of her life! His children were his greatest pride. Alan was always trying to give them all he could and they each held a special place in his heart. They loved to spend time with their dad.
His mother, brothers, and sisters were all dear to him. He wanted the best for them and tried to help out whenever he could.
