Joseph “Alan” Block
Joseph “Alan” Block passed away on April 2, 2020. Alan was born on March 21, 1979 in Houston, Texas and graduated from Pine Drive Christian School as Valedictorian of the Class of 1997. Alan was an avid sports fan and he played on the varsity basketball, baseball and football teams in high school. Alan loved all sports, but his favorite teams included the Houston Oilers as a child, the Houston Texans and the Houston Astros. He loved to watch, attend or talk about sports as much as he could. Alan also served as Class President.
After graduation, Alan attended San Jacinto College and became a certified HVAC Service Technician and worked with a number of companies before becoming ill and suffering from major complications, due to Diabetes. Alan never met a stranger and had many return customers due to his social nature and quick wit.
Alan is survived by his parents, Thomas and Alma Block; his children, Alana Marie Block, Parker Alan Block and Kenzley Reese Block; brother, Bryan Block and his wife Gina; sister, Jessica Block Valdez and husband, Adrian; nephews Enrique Cruz Block and Mateo Miguel Block; many aunts, uncles and cousins who he dearly loved.
His parents would like to thank all of those who visited, supported and prayed for Alan in his final days, especially Jimi Rae Cebulla, Joseph Gamino, Bubba & Debbie Brannan, Dustin and Tracey Alexander, Diego Monroy and the doctors and nurses who cared for him.
Due to virus concerns, a Memorial Service will be announced at a later date, so that we can all come together to celebrate his life. Memorial contributions can be made in Alan’s memory to the American Diabetes Association.
Our lives are shattered with your loss. There is only comfort knowing that you are no longer in pain and are embraced by the arms of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

We know that you will be playing on that field of dreams and I can see you swinging for the fences. We love you most… Mom and Dad
