Alan Andrew Storey Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 5, 2025.
Alan Andrew Storey passed away on January 26, 2025, in Marco Island, Florida, at the age of 81. Born in Chicago on August 31, 1943, he lived a full and meaningful life, leaving behind a legacy of love, wisdom, and resilience.

He lived his life as an avid outdoorsman, hunting and fishing in the vast Colorado Rocky Mountains he called home. He was fascinated by the history of the Old West and held a deep compassion for the plight of the Native American peoples to whom the land once belonged.

As a man who lived life to the fullest, Alan's many passions included racing stock cars and snowmobiles, riding bareback broncos, team roping, working as a ski patrolman and instructor, guiding hunting and fishing expeditions, serving in Mountain Rescue and the Forest Service, teaching English as a second language, and volunteering for hospice care.

Alan was also a driven and successful entrepreneur in ventures ranging from land excavation and development to real estate investment and brokering.

Alan is survived by his wife, May Louise Storey; his sons, Luke, Andy, and Cody; his grandsons, Bjorn and Weston; his stepsons, Erik and Curt Bosson; and his sisters, Carla and Jula.

While his achievements in business and life were many, what truly defined Alan was his steadfast commitment to his own personal development and spiritual growth. Although he never experienced a lasting connection to a particular religion, he devoted the last forty years of his life to seeking a Higher Power in ways that enriched both himself and those he loved.

Alan was a man of integrity, kindness, open-mindedness, humor, and unwavering moral character. He was truly one of a kind, and the world is a better place for having known him.

May he find the peace he sought in the wilderness, now among the heavens. A celebration of life will be held in Colorado this summer.
