Allan Rey Bresee

Allan Bresee flew home on Friday, January 11th in Santee, California. Born on January 19 in 1951, Allan was predeceased by his parents, Dean and Dorothy Bresee and first wife, Janice Jett Bresee.

Allan was a father to many and a friend to all. He was a veteran of the United States Army, a commercial pilot for Fed-Ex for over thirty years, and an avid fly fisherman. Allan lived his life in the air, and his passion for flying was surpassed only by his love for his family and community. He is survived by Megan Bresee, his wife of 26 years, his daughters Katie Meyer, Erika Bresee and Emily Bresee, and his sons Jonathan and Justin Bresee, his grandchildren Grace and Sarah Meyer, along with over a dozen nieces, nephews and a squadron of pilots who will think of him every time they touch the sky.
