Alan R. Medford, affectionately know to his family and friends as Red, passed away unexpectantly on Wednesday, April 3, 2019. Red was a Christian. His family has the assurance that he is now in heaven. In life Red enjoyed playing the guitar and watching Western Movies. He also enjoyed the outdoors. Red liked to fish, camp or just ride up to the mountains. Red worked as a painter for Charlotte Paint Company for many years. He will be dearly missed by his family, his church, his friends and all that knew him.
Red is the son of the late Rachel Childers.
Surviving Red, and charged with carrying on his legacy, are his wife, Barbara “Babs” Medford, daughter Heather Nicole Medford and son Tony Ray Medford. Red leaves behind his sister, Rhonda Billings of Dallas and brothers Jimmy Jones of Dallas and Larry Hornsby of Stanley.
