Alan K. Fields, 71, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on Wednesday, June 12, 2019.
Alan was a gifted architect for more than 48 years. He had a brilliant, creative mind; could draw the straightest line; and contributed to the landscape of Louisville and Kentucky with the design of hundreds of residential and commercial buildings over his lifetime. Alan had a passion for reading, WWII history, fishing, tennis, and snuggling with his kitties (and wife!). He adored his family, and was a white knight and hero to his loving wife and daughter.
He was born on August 12, 1947 in Hazard, Kentucky, to the late Ishmael Fields and Pauline Begley Fields. He is preceded in death by his sister, Diane Morrison.
Alan is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Janie Fields; daughter, Heather Ernst (John); nieces, Carrie Shoaf (Howard) and Jamie Linnenbom (Drew); nephews, Rob Rishel (Julie) and John Alan Morrison; and his beloved fur babies, Cassanova and Oreo.
