7-18-1938 to 7-29-2024
A Husband, a Father, a Grandfather, a Brother, a Uncle, and a friend to many. A barber, a
dancer, a hunter, a fishermen, a true lover of life and all it has to offer. Alfred James McFadden
was the hub for all those in need. If you needed advice, there was always one wise man to call
who held his doors open 24/7, 365 days a year. He always had a story to tell and a joke to bring
levity to the room. When Al was around, no one could wear a frown. A good man through and
through, you will be missed.
Alfred James McFadden was preceded in death by his son, Doug McFadden, his father,
Harlen McFadden, his mother, Edith Galford McFadden, his brothers Frank, Johnny, and Author
McFadden, and his sister Corenia Jordan. He is survived by his wife, Gail McFadden, of 64
years, sons Greg McFadden and Russell McFadden, grandchildren Brian McFadden and Alex
McFadden, brothers Rev. Thomas (and his wife Neva McFadden) and Everett (and his wife Sue
McFadden), plus several nieces and nephews.
