A man of many talents and unwavering loyalty, Alan Dean Heredia of Richmond, CA, passed away on October 2, 2024, at the age of 47 in Springfield, MO. Born on October 19, 1976. Alan’s ride on Earth was filled with dedication and love that touched the hearts of all who knew him.
Alan embraced life with a fervor matched by few, excelling in all his endeavors. He found memories and brotherhood within the Hell’s Angels organization, fostering lifelong bonds that will echo through time. Alan was a master of all trades and to say that doesn’t do him enough justice. This man knew and could do it all. No one ever doubted that. Alan’s altruism and dedication to his circle of people knew no bounds. He was unapologetically, authentically himself every single day.
He was united in marriage to Samantha Gilstrap on May 5, 2013. Alan was a supportive, loving, dedicated father to his daughter, Catalina, and son, Alan “Bam” Heredia.
A man full of realism and ever-present advice, Alan held family and friends close, offering unwavering protection and endless support. His genuine nature made him a best friend to all, a beacon of light in darkness.
Alan leaves behind his spouse Samantha Heredia, who shared in his joys and sorrows. He is also survived by his children and their spouses, Catalina Heredia and Tanner Welborn, and Bam and Allisabeth Heredia, three grandchildren, Lola Lorraine Welborn, Dean and Israel Heredia, and one baby on the way, as well as a sister, Amanda Giliberti, and his beloved brothers with Hell’s Angels. While his physical presence may be no more, his spirit of kindness and generosity will continue to inspire, uplift and live in all those he touched.
