Alan V. Slawter II, affectionately known to some as “A.J.” and others as “Al”, passed away on Friday, October 19, 2018 at his home in Jamison. He was 39.

Born in Philadelphia, he was the devoted and loving son of Alan V. and Rhona L. Suter Slawter.

Alan graduated from George Washington Carver High School for Engineering and Science in Philadelphia. The perfect marriage of his loves for fixing things and cars led him to the first part of his career as an auto mechanic. However, it wouldn’t be long until he found his way to a job with SEPTA where he worked on the company’s buses for the last 13 years.

Alan had a passion for history, something he shared with his father. He was a quick study and would research anything and everything to learn as much about it as possible, which often led to discussions of his findings with his dad. Additionally he enjoyed collecting all sorts of old and antique items, having built a collection which was admired by many. He could fix anything and was often the go-to person when in need of a repair. Alan would stop at nothing to help someone who needed it.

What will be most treasured by all those who knew and loved him was his sweet disposition, dry sense of humor, quick wit, and his legendary hugs. He was devoted to his family and friends and words simply cannot express how much he’ll be missed.

In addition to his parents, Alan is survived by his children, Morgan Taylor Ferguson and George Preston Slawter. His pride and love of being their dad was without measure. He also leaves behind his brother Andrew Slawter and his wife Melissa. Alan took on the role of being a big brother with steadfast devotion and love and in Andrew’s eyes was his hero, his friend, and his heart. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews; Joseph, Chase, Savannah and his beloved God Son, Andrew Slawter Jr., who beamed with admiration for him; and he also leaves behind countless extended family and friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to greet the family on Saturday, October 27, 2018 from 9:30am until his Funeral Service 11:00am at Advent Lutheran Church, 45 Worthington Mill Road, Richboro, PA 18954. Alan’s interment will be private. 

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Alan’s name may be made to Morgan and George’s Educational Fund, c/o 800 Newtown-Richboro Rd., Richboro, PA 18954.
