Alan D Satterfield

Alan D. Satterfield, 60, passed away after a courageous 6-year battle with cancer on Tuesday, May 30, 2023 at Stillwater Hospice in Ft. Wayne.

He was born on December 24, 1962 in Howard County, Indiana to Everette L. and Carolyn R. (Myers) Satterfield. After graduating from high school, Alan would enlist in the U.S. Army and served until his Honorable Discharge in 1986.

He would meet Jody A. Galbreath during a pool tournament and on November 22, 2016, they were married in Claypool, Indiana.

Alan worked for Rieth-Riley Construction as a bridge builder and was a member of the Laborers’ International Union of North American Local Union 645, but had to resign due to his health. He would then become a parts driver for NAPA Auto Parts.

He had a great sense of humor and maintained, even through his health battles. The couple enjoyed camping on their seasonal campsite and enjoying their new boat.

He is dearly missed by his wife, Jody of Claypool, and his step-son, Scott (Eiko) Armstrong of Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana; a brother and sister; and many great friends.

A Celebration of Alan’s Life will be held at a later date.

Memorial contributions can be made to the K21 Health Foundation, 1101 Park Ave, Winona Lake, IN 46590.
