Alan George Dumbleton

Alan George Dumbleton, 63, passed away on August 22, 2021.

Born on March 4, 1958 in Auburn, New York to his parents Albert and Carole Dumbleton. He moved to Sebring, Florida when he was four where he remained until he graduated from Sebring High School in 1976. He attended Troy University and majored in Criminal Justice with a minor in Corrections. He moved back to Florida temporarily to work as a corrections officer for the Highlands County Sheriffs Office until 1980 when he left Florida to begin working for the Scott County Sheriffs Office as a corrections officer at the jail in Shakopee then at the Annex in Jordan, Minnesota. He retired in 2012 to return to his hometown of Sebring and become a full time “Grandpa/MeMe”.

During his time at Sebring High School, he was a member of the key club, football, baseball, and swim team, while also performing in the band. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, going to the Sebring International Raceway and hanging out with his friends until his mom whistled out the front door to come home.

Upon moving to Minnesota, he and his former wife welcomed their first son Justin in August of 1982.  They moved to New Prague, Minnesota where they brought home their second son Adam in December 1984, then Jeffrey in May of 1990. He continued to work while supporting his 3 son’s and their hockey, hunting, and fishing, while sharing his love of racing with all three of them. Together they attended races at Elko Speedway, La Crosse Speedway for Oktoberfest and the 12 Hours of Sebring races as often as possible.

During the last 16 years he welcomed 8 grandchildren who he loved and talked about to his friends constantly. He lived his life with his family and friends first, always had his way of making others laugh. Alan enjoyed his farming life on his 5 acres where he raised his chickens and was always delivering eggs and his homemade cookies to his close friends and family. Alan never met a stranger, he was always striking up conversations wherever he went, and he made his days “busy” by visiting Ladonna’s flower shop, Hector’s jewelry shop, Taylor Rental, Glisson’s or dropping into friend’s houses to shoot the breeze. He was a large part of his high school class reunion committee and enjoyed keeping in touch with everyone over the last 45 years. He was the biggest supporter of his boys and all his grand-kids with everything they did, and he is going to be missed dearly by all of us.

Alan is survived by his mother Carole; sister and brother-in-law Ann & Skip Freeze; Three sons & daughters-in-law, Justin & Amanda Dumbleton, Adam & Julie Dumbleton and Jeffrey & Paige Dumbleton; five granddaughters, Dalila, Miley, Madison, Aubrey and Miranda; three grandsons, Leroy, Benjamin and Grant Dumbleton; and nephews Nicklas & Jonathan Freeze. Alan is preceded in death by his father Albert Dumbleton, and his brothers Brian and Craig “Buzz” Dumbleton.
