Alan was born on June 13, 1961 in Friona, to Artemus Virgil (A.V.) Warren and Bonnie Marlene Foster. Alan grew up in Farwell and graduated Farwell High School in 1980. He married his beloved wife Sandra Fleming on May 17, 1985 at the Church of Christ in Farwell. They welcomed a daughter, Bailey, in 1988 and a son, Aaron, in 1991.

Alan had a close group of friends he spent most of his free time with. This rowdy bunch coined Alan "Hound dog," a nickname no one is quite sure (or willing to divulge) how exactly he got it. The boys spent many weekends together at Conchas Lake and that is where Alan met Sandra in 1982. Alan enjoyed spending time with his family, watching his grandkids games and recitals, hunting, shooting, tinkering in the barn with his son, building and rebuilding go-karts, stock cars, airplanes and everything in-between. Alan was also well known for giving some the best unsolicited, backhanded love imaginable.

After graduation, Alan went to work for Helton Oil for 25 years before deciding to change careers. In 2007, Alan began working at Deaf Smith Electric Co-Op as a Groundman where he worked until his unexpected passing in 2024.

Alan is preceded in death by his father, A.V. and his grandparents Chet and Lillian Warren and Tom and Loucile Foster.

He is survived by his wife Sandra Warren of Farwell, daughter- Bailey Warren of Farwell,  son- Aaron (Regan) Warren of Burkburnett, mother- Bonnie Warren-Howard of Farwell,  sister Kittie Warren of Tulsa, grandchildren Braelynn (11), Ryder (11) and Hudson (1) and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
