   Alan was born on October 21, 1986 in Bowling Green, Ohio.  He was preceded in death by his father, James A. Noward and is survived by his mother and stepfather, Barbara (Panning) and Doug Crow of Deshler.
   He was a 2005 graduate of Patrick Henry High School where he attended Four County Vocational School for auto mechanics.  This built on a passion he had for old sports cars and he was always able to tell you the make and models of his favorite cars.  He enjoyed playing video games, was a big fan of the Chicago Bears and was recently an avid follower of UFC events, which he would try to regularly attend.  He enjoyed exercising and working out, but most often could be seen walking to his destinations around town.  
   He was a baptized and confirmed member of St. John Lutheran Church, Deshler.
   Alan was currently working as a laborer at Rupp-Rosebrook of Liberty Center and had previously worked at Old Castle, Napoleon, Ohio and Whirlpool and Autozone of Findlay, Ohio.
   His greatest treasure in life was his daughter, Brayleigh.  He always wanted to be a loving father to her.  Brayleigh survives in Findlay with her mother, Amber Davis.  He is also survived by his parents, Barbara and Doug Crow, Deshler; sisters, Angela (Paul) Luthman, Bowling Green, Ohio; Amanda (Jose) Arias, Lebanon, Ohio; Jacqueline (Kevin) Hoffman, Deshler; Danielle (Dustin) Smith, Bronson, Michigan and 10 nieces and nephews.
   He was preceded in death by his father, James Noward; and grandparents, Martin and Mildred Panning; Wayne and Daisy Noward and Barb and Kenneth Stearns.
   Funeral services will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Friday at Feehan-Rodenberger Funeral Home, Deshler with Rev. James Wenger officiating.  Visitation will be from 12 Noon - 5 p.m.  prior to the services at the funeral home.
