Alan Howells
25 December 1961 – 16 December 2023
Alan was always the go to for both reason and compassion and our loss will be heavens gain.
After being diagnosed with cancer and given the worst prognosis he fought his condition with the true spirit of the warrior that he was. He smashed his recovery and moved on with his life.
When the cancer returned recently he did what Alan does and just kept on going and fought his fight with valour until he could fight no more.
Alan spent all of his working life giving care to others as a nurse and amongst his many skills he was a dementia specialist and achieved many awards.
Outside of his work his other love was the martial arts and in addition to his 3rd Dan in Aikido he was also an instructor in the Viking art of Glima and held yudansha grades in Wado Ryu Karate and also Yoshinkan Aikido and was very proud to be Kizuna Brother.
A founder of the Zenreikan Aikido School, Southport, after his recovery he moved back to his beloved Wales and spent the last few years passing on his knowledge in Anglesey.
Alan will be greatly missed. Love you Bro x
