Alan Roderick Routhier

Alan Roderick Routhier was born in Berkeley, California, on December 9, 1946.  He passed away on December 27, 2015.  He moved to Sacramento, California, at five years of age, when his father graduated from Cal and got a job with the State of California.  He is preceded in death by his mother, Elizabeth Marie Roderick Routhier.  He is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Pamela Tuttle Routhier, and his two daughters, Julie Routhier and Jennifer Haley (Peter), six grandchildren, Kayla, Nick and Olivia Morrow and John Macedo, Abigail and Jameson Haley; his father Albert Routhier, his sisters, Eloise Weidner (Robert) and Suzanne Routhier (David Rothbard), seven nieces and nephews, and his beloved mother-in-law Katherine Petta Tuttle.

Alan was a very smart, generous, kind, dependable, responsible, considerate man.  He loved his family, friends and his job at the County of Sacramento in the IT department.  He enjoyed traveling and helping people.  He was full of energy, rarely sat down and was always fixing something, whether at home or elsewhere.

He lived in Sacramento most of his life, except during his college years when he lived in Berkeley and Hayward, and his military years when he was stationed at Ft. Myers, Virginia and worked at the Pentagon.  He was a content man. 

He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He had a special relationship with his grandchildren-they adored Papa.

May he find peace in Heaven.

Friends are invited to attend the Mass of Christian Burial on Thursday, December 31, 2015 at Holy Spirit Church at 10am. Burial will follow at East Lawn Memorial Park.
