Alan Benedict Hoffman, 49, born on April 5, 1965, left this planet on Thursday July 24, 2014. I believe he is scouting a new frontier. Alan was a kind and generous man. A cowboy at heart, he loved horses, guns and John Wayne. He was a great host and entertainer, a lot of fun. He had an infectious laugh and smile. Alan will be deeply missed forever in the hearts of his parents, family and friends. Allan is survived by his parents, Ronald J. Hoffman, and Phyllis R. Gordon; daughter, Chelsea Hoffman; sister, Kara Campbell; niece, Ashley Vanvoorst.\r\nA private family memorial will be held at a later date. The family of Alan Benedict Hoffman has entrusted the care of their loved one to the DeVargas Funeral Home & Crematory of the Española Valley.
