After a long journey with Alzheimer's and dementia, he leaves behind a lifetime of memories, stories, laughter, and a whole lot of people who will miss him more than words can say.

If you knew Al, you knew he was one of a kind. The best kind. He was everyone's favorite person, the coolest Dad, and the kind of guy you could always talk to. He had a way of making people feel comfortable, welcome, and accepted. He wasn't just a Dad to his own kids; he was everyone’s favorite cool Dad. Through his colorful stories, life experiences, honest advice and old-school wisdom, Al had a way of teaching lessons that reached far beyond the moment and stayed with people for a lifetime.

Al was a hippie at heart. He carried that free spirit, individuality, and love for the things that made life interesting. He loved being different, doing things his own way, and standing out from the ordinary. He was unapologetically himself, and that was part of what made him so unforgettable.

A true collector at heart, Al had a passion for the classics and the unusual. Whether it was his coveted classic car collection, coins, smooth tequila, or something he had discovered while digging for fossils or cracking open geodes, he loved finding things with a story. He appreciated the history, character, and beauty in things that others might overlook.

His family will cherish their scenic road trips, and hundreds of fishing excursions. His favorite fishing spot was Pass Lake in the Unitas, which of course, included some intense competitions and score keeping. And, of course, there was always classic rock playing along the way.

He was a Rock n Roll music aficionado. Al could tell you the song names, band names, and lyrics to any song, and almost all of his favorites came with a story of the time he saw them in concert. Music was in his DNA.

Al had a contagious sense of humor that kept everyone on their toes. He was quick with a joke, never missed an opportunity for a smart-ass comment, and always seemed to have something clever to say. Making people laugh was just part of who he was. Even as his illness took its toll, his sense of humor would still shine through. He continued joking with the nurses who cared for him, giving them a hard time and reminding everyone that a little bit of Al's mischievous spirit was still there. Even in the hardest moments, he could still make people smile. He did just that until the very end.

Al was a proud Husband, Dad, Grampy, Papa, and friend. He was a fierce protector of the people he loved, and if you were lucky enough to be one of his people, you knew he would stand beside you and be the first person to lift you up if needed. He wouldn't hesitate to give someone the shirt off his back. He had a heart so generous that he would give everything he had, and then some, without ever expecting anything in return. He found joy in paying it forward through random acts of kindness, often extending generosity to complete strangers while inspiring those around him to do the same. He was a true example of kindness, always carrying himself with politeness, generosity, and humility.

There will never be another one quite like him.

Friends and family are invited to share memories and condolences with the family on Saturday, November 21st from 5-7pm. 1556 W Preserve Court, Bluffdale, UT.

A celebration of life will be held on Al’s Birthday; March 8th, 2027. Details will be announced at a later date.

Al is survived by his incredible wife of 50 years Trish, his Daughter, Tiffany (Trevor) Hull, his Son, Dallas (Amber) Sever, his grandkids, Ryder, Hudson, Bryson, Dawson, Madison, Brooklyn, and his three great-grandchildren, Brixlee, Clay and Lucas. His fur babies, Isabelle, Winnie and Hazel will also miss him dearly.

We love you Al!
