Allan K. Brown
June 6, 1947 — September 11, 2011
Allan K. Brown, 64, of Amarillo passed away on Sunday, Sept. 10, 2011. Services will be held at 3:00 P.M. Wednesday, September 14, 2011 in Memorial Park Cemetery North Mausoleum by LaGrone-Blackburn-Shaw Funeral Directors, 8310 S. Coulter Road, Amarillo, TX. Burial will be in Memorial Park Cemetery.
Allan was born June 6, 1947, in Amarillo to Kenneth Virgil and Mildred Kathleen Abell Brown. He was raised in Amarillo and graduated from Tascosa High School in 1965. He went on to attend West Texas State (A&M) University, graduating in 1972 with a BA in Political Science. Allan was fortunate enough to take his love of photography and turn it into a professional career. For almost thirty years “Allan Brown, Photographer” produced aerial images of such precision that accurate ground surveys could be prepared from the finished photographs. He was proud to be a member of the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, joining in 1977.
Allan was preceded in death by his parents. Surviving are his sister, Jeanne Neel, and husband Kimble of Phoenix, AZ, and his “adopted family” consisting of his “brother” and lifelong friend Greg Sagan, his “sister-in-law” Dianne G. Sagan, and their children, Bryan Sagan, Natasha Sagan, and Michelle Pamplin of Amarillo, Benjamin Sagan of Los Angeles, CA, Bradley Chappel of Telluride, CO, and Elizabeth Dixon of Denton, TX, all of whom lost their “Uncle Allan.”
The family suggests memorials in lieu of flowers be offered to the State of Texas Kidney Foundation P. O. Box 592180 San Antonio, Texas 78259.
Condolences can be offered at the service.
