Born to Julius and Lillian Lentfer of Bruning, Alan was the sibling of John, Audrey, and Scott. Raised in Bruning, Alan was baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church. At 18, Alan embarked on a new chapter, moving to Denver, Colorado, where he spent the majority of his adult years. He dedicated himself to a career in the airline industry before transitioning to long-distance trucking. In 1984, Alan married Kim Richards, and together they raised their wonderful children, Johnny and Jessina Lentfer. His love for family was evident in everything he did, always striving to provide, protect and care for those closest to him. Life brought Alan another opportunity for love, and on September 9, 2009, he married Debby Spickelmier Tobin. With this union, his family grew to include Tim Tobin and Tracy Tobin Swanson, further enriching his life with love and joy. One of Alan’s greatest joys was being a grandfather. He adored his grandchildren—Caston, Jameson, and Annabelle—and they brought immense happiness to his life. Alan loved spending his time fishing, gardening, singing in the church choir, cheering for Nebraska Husker Football, and watching the Denver Broncos. In the last few years he upgraded his love of watching NASCAR to a passion for working at the Phoenix International Raceway during races. Alan quietly passed into the arms of his Savior on Saturday, November 9th, 2024 in Avondale, Arizona, at the age of 71. Alan’s legacy is carried on by his mother, Lillian, his siblings John (Anne), Audrey (Randy) and Scott (Marlene), his wife Debby, their children Johnny, Megan, Jessina, Matt, Tim, Tracy, John and those beloved grandchildren. His many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews will carry fond memories of their uncle as well. Alan has joined his father, Julius, and sister-in-law, Patt Lentfer, in Heaven, where they are reunited in peace. Alan Lentfer’s life was a testament to his dedication to family, hard work, and the simple joys that come from loving and being loved. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
