Alan Joseph Blanton was 27 when he died on January 13, 2007, in Oklahoma City. An obituary lists his birthdate, June 20, 1979, says he was deeply loved and will be missed, and invites mourners to a memorial at South Life Church on South Walker Avenue a week after his death. No cause or circumstances of death are given in that notice.

Public vital-records indexes confirm the death but add no details. Court and correctional records tied to his name and birthdate show earlier drug-related cases in Oklahoma County in the early 2000s, including possession of methamphetamine, deferred or suspended terms, and drug court involvement, suggesting a period of addiction and attempts at rehabilitation.

If anyone knew Alan, his last residence, or has information about what happened in January 2007, please share what is known.
