Beyond the Music: Stadium of Fire

Alan played a key role in establishing the Stadium of Fire, a significant Independence Day celebration held annually in Provo, Utah. This event demonstrated his commitment to community and his passion for bringing people together through music.

A Loving Family Legacy

Alan’s personal life was defined by his 51-year marriage to Suzanne and their large family. He is survived by his wife, their eight sons—Michael, Nathan, Doug, David, Scott, Jon, Alex, and Tyler—thirty grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.

Surviving Family Members

He is also survived by his brothers Virl, Tom, Merrill, Jay, Donny, and Jimmy, as well as his sister, Marie Osmond. The family remembers his optimism and belief in their continued collaboration, famously stating that there was “always more work to be done together.”
