Alan Cohoon

Alan grew up with a deep love for the outdoors and a strong commitment to family, faith, and community. He dedicated 30 years of his career to Beech / Raytheon, where he served as Head of Maintenance and was respected for his skill, leadership, and steady presence.

A man of faith, Alan was active in Grace Presbyterian Church, where he found friendship, purpose, and a sense of belonging. He was also honored to serve as an active Mason Consistory and an AA advisor, roles through which he encouraged and supported many others.

Alan’s happiest moments were often spent outdoors. He was an avid hunter, enjoying pheasant, quail, deer, and all types of game, and he took pride in training his own hunting dogs. He loved fishing, and in his younger years enjoyed golfing, bowling, water skiing, and riding motorcycles. After retirement, he continued to serve his family by helping mow and maintain the family land, something he took great pride in.

Alan is survived by his loving wife, Carolyn A (Lehman) Cohoon; son, Chad Alan Cohoon (Jolene); son-in-law, Mike Lash (Michelle); brother, Rodney Cohoon; grandchildren, Tyler Lash, Clara Cohoon Bragg (Kegan), Ella Cohoon, Dash Cohoon, Cooper Cohoon, Natalie Lash (Drew Scanlan), Jourdan Sullivan (Von), Judah Wilkinson; great grandchildren, Alice, Ruby, Otto, Naviyana, and Zenovia.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Arley and Esther Cohoon; daughter, Charlene R. Cohoon Lash; siblings including Arley W. Cohoon (Bill), John W. Cohoon; and in-laws Alice Lehman and Dale Lehman.

He is also remembered by his beloved dogs, Pepper and Sophie, loyal companions who brought him great joy.

Those who knew Alan would describe him as hardworking, loyal, and endlessly generous—always ready to lend a hand, share a story, or help someone find their footing. He leaves behind a legacy of dedication, friendship, and quiet strength.

Pallbearers will include Tyler Lash, Cooper Cohoon, Dash Cohoon, John P. Cohoon, Adam Foster, Migeal Tafoya
