Alan Quinton Turner was born on February 2, 1956 in Springfield, Missouri. He peacefully passed from this life to his heavenly home on Saturday, December 2, 2017 at Cox South Hospital.
Alan spent his childhood adventuring through the woods and fields of Christian County, Missouri, on the farm of his Grandma Roma and Grandpa Charles Weter. He was raised in Wichita, Kansas until age 6, when his family moved to Belton, Missouri. Alan loved the Lord and was baptized at age 10 in Springdale Lake, Belton Missouri. He returned to Christian County at age 18, where he met his wife, Regina Maples. Alan and Gina raised their daughters in their home in Nixa, Missouri. Alan worked at General Council of the Assemblies of God for 19 years and Assemblies of God Financial Solutions for 19 years. Alan was a self-less, generous, hard-working, honest and Godly man who was loved by everyone who had the joy of knowing him. He was described by many as having a servant’s heart and was an active member of Fountain of Life Church.
Alan was preceded in death by his grandparents; father-in-law, Leeroye Maples; father, Calbert Turner; and brother, Aaron Turner. He is survived by Regina, his loving wife of 41 years; two daughters, Sarah Wells (Jeremy) and Hannah DeGuzman (Janpierre); 4 grandchildren, Avery and Elias Wells and Micah and Malachi DeGuzman; as well as his mother, Charlene (Weter) Turner; brothers, David Turner (Yolanda), Dennis Turner, Adrian Turner (Kim); sisters, Denise Konnerup and Melissa Turner (David Redding); several nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins, and in-laws. Alan was a wonderful, dedicated husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend.

Alan will always be a blessing to me. One memory that stands out was a vacation our family took when I was a teenager. I don't remember details--maybe Sarah was with us for some reason--but Alan and Gina were at our house when we returned. Alan had his hand bandaged and I assumed some crisis had occurred and was ready for the freak-out stage of the story. Alan and Gina just casually explained he was mowing the lawn and had an accident. Rather than freaking out they took it in stride and treated it as just a thing that happened in life. I so appreciate that every time I think of it. It reminds me to go with the flow and be chill. I'm so grateful for Alan and the Turner family. So many hearts and lives are better because of Alan.

Oh Gina, I don't even know what to say. I love you so much. I grieve for you and your family. Alan was the perfect example of a man with a servants heart. You saw it everyday at AGF and I saw it in how he treated you. I admired your relationship with him for years as I yearned for my own. I wish I could be there to hug you in person. If you ever need someone to talk to who knows you and loves you but is a bit removed I am here. Please let me know if I can do anything for you dear friend.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
Jonathan Ragsdale left a message on December 3, 2017:
Gina and family, my heart grieves for you and with you. In the confusion of it all, I do find peace knowing Alan is with his Savior. Alan was a joy to work with and so much fun to be around. My observation of him is that he treasured his family. I cannot help to think about the many stories about "the life and times of being married to Alan Turner" and laugh. He will be missed.
Paula Lentz left a message on December 3, 2017:
Gina and family, I couldn't have asked for a sweeter more gracious co-worker. I will miss his gentle spirit in the office. Our prayers are with you during this very difficult time. We are all in the same family so please lean on us for anything you need. Our love is with you.
