of Mountain View, AR

October 15, 1950 - April 17, 2009

Alan Wayne Harper entered into eternal fellowship with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Friday, April 17, 2009. He left behind his beloved wife of thirty-nine years, Lorinda; his three daughters, Danyelle (Paul) Harris, Carrie (Tim) Bourne, and Tami (Rob) Griffith; his brother, Robin Harper; his eight grandchildren, Alyssa, Caleb, Jordan, Titus, Dax, Baylee, Silas and Georgia; and mother-in-law, Ruby Willingham and many loving relatives and a host of close friends, and the members of Flatwoods Missionary Baptist Church, where he had spent thirteen years in joyful ministry. He will join those already with our Savior including his parents, Gerald and Alice Harper and his sister, Sharron Allison.

After a childhood in Georgia, Wayne served his country for twenty-one years as a decorated member of the United States Air Force. While stationed at Barksdale AFB in Bossier city, LA, Wayne surrendered to full-time ministry. For the remainder of his life, there was nothing he loved more than spreading the good news of God's love-through both song and sermon. He is probably still playing his guitar, singing tenor, accidentally knocking shelves off the wall of his heavenly mansion, and doing his legendary Elvis impersonation.

Brother Wayne will be remembered for the passion with which he lived his life. He laughed and cried every time he was near his wife, his daughters, his grandchildren, or his Lord. Anyone who wishes to celebrate his life or honor his memory is invited to a memorial service at Flatwoods Missionary Baptist Church at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, April 20th, 2009.

Visitation is 4 8 p.m., Sunday, April 19, 2009 at Flatwoods Missionary Baptist Church, Mtn. View.

Funeral Service is 2 p.m., Monday, April 20, 2009 at Flatwoods Missionary Baptist Church, Mtn. View.

Roller Crouch Funeral Home, Mtn. View is in charge of the arrangements.
