BROTHERS IN ARMS

Entered Into Eternal Rest
2023-12-09

Team
I am sad to report that Yosh has passed away this evening.

Fortunately, he was surrounded by loved ones and was at peace.

Sarah says they are looking to have a memorial on December 16th. While I believe it will be in San Antonio, I am not 100% positive yet.

CCA will work directly with Sarah to assist. We will provide updates as they mature.

No doubt we lost an incredible teammate and brother tonight.

Rest easy Yosh. We love you, will miss you and will stand by your family.

The following Obituary was released by the family on December 10, 2023.

On 9 December 2023, Alan Tatsuo Yoshida, loving husband, father, son, brother, and warrior passed away at age 51.

Alan was born in Mililani, Hawaii on 27 October 1972, to Ronald and Nina Yoshida. He joined the U.S. Air Force in 1991 where he faithfully and proudly served his country for 28 years as a Combat Controller. Alan raised three beautiful children of whom he was extremely proud—his daughter Sydney, and his sons Noah and Trevor. Through them, his legacy lives on.

On 15 April 2015, he married the love of his life, Sarah. Together they enjoyed traveling the world and going on adventures.

Alan was a graduate of Norwich University and later served as the Strategic Accounts Executive for Parraid LLC. Alan chose to work for Parraid because the company empowered him to dream big and enabled him to transform his ideas into reality.

Alan’s interests were many. He was an artist, a technologist, a visionary, a warrior, and a dreamer. He loved little kids and Izzy dog. He tolerated Yeager. His passions included surfing, parachuting, hunting, fishing, and working on his land in Hondo. Alan truly loved his career. Although it left him in great pain, he never regretted a minute of his service and would do it all over again if he could. He was born to be an operator and was one of the best there ever was. He truly loved his brothers in arms and used his gifts and genius to improve their lives, safety, and survivability. But most of all, Alan loved and cherished his family. He was the happiest just spending time with his kids and Sarah. Give him a good cuddle and he was content.

Alan was preceded in death by his father Ronald. He is survived by his wife Sarah, his daughter Sydney Price, his sons Noah and Trevor, his mother Nina, his brother Dale, his sister Ann, and his nephew Joshua.

In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made to the Combat Control Foundation or bring a tree to plant in his orchard.
