Dear Diane and the entire Pastrana family — We send our love and sympathy. Thinking of you. 💗 Priscilla, John, William and Hannah (Carroll) Frece
Diane you and your whole family are in my thoughts. One of the memories of Alan that always makes me laugh occurred on the lacrosse field. I was JV and we were playing the varsity with Alan in the goal for the varsity W,e took a shot which Alan stopped and he then proceeded.to run up field faking out everyone of us who dared get in his way and scored against us. Ronnie Wolf our JV coach was apoplectic screaming and yelling at us and made us run laps. Alan stood there laughing and so was I. He was a marvel and a dam fine man. He will be missed. Joe Manck
I think everyone knows the Pastranas.A wonderful and well known family.Alan always smiling and always had something kind to say.I was very fortunate to meet Alan and Diane.Very special people.Alan will surely be missed by many.Diane,you are in my prayers sincerely, Regina Weldon.
I had the privilege of playing football and wrestling with Alan at Severn and reflectively benefited greatly from his fame and notoriety. He was a superb athlete followed closely by the Annapolis newspaper and the University of Maryland Athletic Department. As a result I got to share headlines with Alan which resulted in me getting a wrestling scholarship to Maryland on Alan’s coattails. Over the years we stayed in contact by emails but the last time I saw him was when he came to my Christmas party a couple of years ago and I was able to keep up with him through Dean and Dawn Powell. I found these couple of Annapolis newspaper clipping that I’ll include here. He was a great guy and I’m sure be will be sorely missed by his family and the Annapolis community.

Dear Pastrana Family,
Our sincere sympathy to you all on Alan’s passing. His passion as a Penn State swimming parent was incredible, whether at a meet or on the bus going to early swim before a meet. He had the ability to raise everyone’s spirit and excitement level. While our world has lost a great teacher/coach and person, God now has an All-American to lead His team in heaven.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Diane and all of Alan’s family . Alan was a great guy, and a wonderful co-captain of our AHS football team. He was liked by his teammates and classmates. I am honored to have been part of the team . Alan’s passing will leave a huge void in our class reunions. He was a terrific man and liked by all who knew him. He will be truly missed. God bless your family ... John Hanna, class of 1964.
Each time I met Alan at a reunion and also the football team reunion, Alan made me feel welcome and a part of the class . He had a true gift of making everyone feel comfortable and welcome . I’m happy I had those times to meet him and Diane . Judy Hanna ( wife of John Hanna)
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with Diane and the Pastrana family. May God wrap his arms around you and give you some comfort during this time of your loss.

I am an AHS Class of '61and great follower of Annapolis athletics.
I was a member of the AHS wrestling team and I returned to watch the team with Alan on it. He was an outstanding athlete in any sport he tried.
After the match, I was driving home when a car crashed into mine. It was Alan. After he made sure I was OK.
He told me he would take care of the car. Next day, he and his family picked up my car at my house, got it repaired and brought it back.
He and his family were Annapolis Royalty!
His family had a Construction company and they repaired sidewalks in Annapolis.
A lot of people loved to watch his family work in the hot weather with their shirts off.
It was a good looking family!
