Donald Mark Alam

Donald Mark Alam, 68, born November 28 1953 in Cottage Grove, Lane County, Oregon to Dale F. Alam and Nila J Gibson Alam. He left us on February 6, 2022.

He is survived by Laura Brophy. They met when they were 13 years old at the strawberry fields. They reunited later in life and enjoyed 20 years together living in Bothell, Washington.

Don leaves behind his children, Donald Dale Alam (Lori) of Tulsa, OK, Jason Paul Alam (Amber) of Addison, TX.; daughter, Tiffany (Jeff) Sperling of Coos Bay, OR and his stepson, Jarod Brophy of Everett, WA.

Don has 10 grandchildren, Don Jr’s: Baylee Alam Edson (Kurt), Shelly Alam; Jason’s: Ashton Alam Williamson (Spencer) and Sarah Alam; Tiffany’s: Jace, Izabella and Khloe Sperling and Jarod’s: Taylor, Kegan and Shane Brophy; and one great grandson, River Lee Banks Edson.

He is also survived by his mother, Nila J. Alam, brother, Richard N. Alam of Arlington WA and sisters, Carolynn J. Hess of Vancouver, WA and Patricia G. Rodgers of Jackson, AL.

He left us to be with many great family members, his father, Dale F. Alam; sister, Kimi M. Alam Cooper; brother, William R. Heckathorn; granddaughter, Jasmyn Nicole Alam and his beloved Grandma Nanny.

He worked in the computer industry and truly loved it. He was a brilliant man who loved to research any topic and share his knowledge with others. He was the glue that brought the extended family together through social media. Don was big on honesty and simple living. He loved the woods, music, movies and meeting new people. He collected and shared all the family photos for our Clan. He will be truly missed.

We look forward to celebrating Don’s life this summer. Location and date to be determined.
