Alan was born September 26, 1952, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas and went to be with the Lord on January 29, 2025, in Minden, Louisiana.

Alan was a true family man. He adored his, kids, grandkids, and his dog captain, just the latest in a long line of dogs, horses and cows he loved to care for. One of his fondest memories was riding his grandchildren on his John Deere tractor. He was his kids and grandkids’ biggest fan and spent his days cheering them on at their sporting events, rodeos and recitals. He will be dearly missed.

He is survived by his wife Libbey Watkins of Minden, sons, Case (Kristin) Watkins of Harrisonburg, Virginia, Lou Watkins (Ashleigh), of Lindale, Texas, and Jacob Watkins (Emily) of Benton, daughter, Maggie McMillian (Jonathan) of Lindale, Texas, brother, Mark Watkins (Beverly) of Little Rock, Arkansas, and Jim Watkins of Ruston, brother-in-law, Ben Barnard of Raleigh, North Carolina, and grandchildren, Ellie, Emma, Max, Crew, Hallie, Lucy, Ella, Mae, Sofia, and Emmie.
