Allan Lee Van Dalsen 75, passed away unexpectedly December 24, 2022 at his home in Goodyear, Arizona.

Allen was born in Rochester, Indiana to Richard Van Dalsen and Annabelle (Zolman) Van Dalsen. His early education was in Macy, Indiana until the family moved to Rochester, Indiana where Allan graduated from Rochester High School, participating in Baseball, Basketball, Senior Sales, Lettermen’s Club, Pep Block, Track, Weight Lifting, Intramurals and Play Crew.

He married Carol (Miller) Van Dalsen and three daughters were born of that union, Andrea, Ali, Angela.

Alan proudly served in the United States Army in Vietnam, and was awarded a Purple Heart, Air Medal, Vietnam Campaign Metal, Vietnam Service Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge, National Defense Service Medal and ARCOM W/V for exceptional service of Heroism with Valor.

He lived many years in Punta Gorda, Florida, Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Goodyear, Arizona.

Allan’s great passion was his study and vast knowledge of nutrition, vitamins and supplements and helping people with their desire to understand the benefits on a journey to better health.

He enjoyed watching Notre Dame, football, men and women’s basketball, and being an arm chair quarterback as well as a side line coach and reviewing in slow motion controversial plays or calls with his brother Rich.

He took great pride in landscaping his yard, building flowerbeds and gardening. Having to rise before sunrise to beat the afternoon heat in Arizona to keep it all looking perfect.

Because he lived a great distance from his family, he spent a great deal of time on the phone daily talking to his daughters, grandchildren, mother, brother and his cousin Harry Dee Van Dalsen of Macy, Indiana.
