| Published in Today's News Herald on June 1, 2018 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - It is with great sadness that the family and friends of Alan Moir, 49, announce that this gentle soul passed away while asleep at his home in Lake Havasu City on May 21, 2018. Described by the many who loved him as a relentlessly cheerful man and a friend to all, Alan moved to Havasu from Canada in 1983. A 1987 graduate of Lake Havasu High School, he later studied at the University of Arizona. In 1995, he returned to Havasu and worked as the Director of Activities at the Queens Bay Resort before beginning a career in radio in 2008. As vice president of operations and station manager for Murphy Broadcasting, Alan oversaw the running of all the company's stations in Mohave County. Fiercely loyal to his family and friends, Alan loved his home and was extremely dedicated to his job and co-workers. Brilliant and funny in equal measure, Alan was known for his quick wit, patient spirit, and comprehensive knowledge. At one point he was ranked as one of North America's foremost trivia experts. His speciality was music and film. He had a deep, emotional connection and encyclopedic knowledge of both. Alan is survived by his mother Nancy Hamling (Donald), father Jim (Lynda), sisters Shelley Field (nee Moir) (Nicholas), and Melanie, and grandmother Eleanor. Alan never married, and had no children of his own, but was an important figure in the lives of his closest friends' children, providing to them an outstanding example of diligence, politeness, and caring. Alan will never be forgotten, and a warm and welcoming celebration of the life of this remarkable man is 3 p.m. Saturday, June 16, at the Bridgeview Room at Shugrue's, 1425 N. McCulloch Blvd. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Alan's memory may be made to Lake Havasu High School Audio Club c/o Sam Brindis. |
