He married Nikeeta Nelson on July 24, 2018, in Las Vegas, NV. Alan retired from the Oklahoma Natural Gas Company in 2016 as a supervisor after 28 years of service. Alan liked traveling, fishing, and watching football, but enjoyed nothing more than helping his family and friends. When he wasnt out doing for others, he could often be found in the company of his Jack Russell Terrier mix, Ellie. From boating to summer cookouts to hiking with his daughter, Alan believed in living life to the fullest. He was as comfortable fixing an engine as he was baiting a hook, and rarely missed an opportunity to play amateur chef. Alan graduated from Northwest Classen High School in 1979 and had his first child, Joseph Alan York, in 1982. Working in the oil fields from age 18, Alan was known as the youngest driller in the companys history. Later, he worked as a meter reader for the Oklahoma Natural Gas Company, where he would quickly become a supervisor and eventually meet his future wife, Nikeeta. Alan lived his life full of love and service for his family and friends. Before his passing, Alan celebrated the birth of three beautiful grandchildren.

York and Laura B. Kimmel, his stepson, Jordan A. Nelson, his parents, Raymond and Yvonne York, his brother, Danny York, and his brother-by-choice, Richard Earl Etchieson.
