He is also survived by his mother, Carol Lee Melvin; his sister, Lisa Jean Macy; and his brother, Mark David Shirley. He was preceded in death by his father, Wesley Shirley, and his brother, Michael Wesley Shirley.
Alan dedicated many years of services to the Charles County Board of Education, where he worked as the Supervisor of Maintenance. Known for his strong work ethic and generous spirit, Alan was the kind of person neighbors and friends could always count on in a time of need.
A man of quiet strength and deep compassion, Alan made the selfless decision to be an organ donor, continuing to help others even after his passing.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Humane Society of Charles County, a cause close to Alan's heart.
