Alan Scofield

Alan Kent Scofield (“Alfer” to his mom) of Largo, Florida, formerly of Red Wing, MN, died Saturday, March 11th, 2023 at his home with his wife by his side.

He was born December 10th, 1952, in Princeton, MN. to Vernon and Jeanne (Wallace) Scofield. He grew up there and graduated from Princeton High School. His work in land surveying brought him to Red Wing where he was the owner of Johnson and Scofield Land Surveying. Alan retired in 2016 and proudly sold his shares to his son Mitch. On February 26th, 2004, he married the love of his life, Sharon, in Negril, Jamaica. Together they blended their families of 5 children. They have celebrated their anniversary in Jamaica annually and most recently just celebrated their 19th Anniversary. While in Red Wing, he was a member of the Red Wing Elks, BPOE # 845 and the Redmen Club. He also played in local volleyball traveling leagues. In 2018 he and Sharon relocated to Largo, FL where they have lived since.

Alan and Sharon enjoyed spending the summers at their cabin in Balsam Lake, WI. Alan enjoyed making good use of his smoker, making enough BBQ ribs to share with the staff at the Marina, friends, and family. He also enjoyed long, leisurely, motorcycle rides on his Harley with friends.

There were no strangers with Alan. He made it a priority to learn people’s names even if it was just a one time encounter. He enjoyed connecting with people. Most of all, Alan wanted to be around his family. Sharon was his best friend and called her his Hero. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren and bragged about them every chance he got.
