Alan Mcdorman

Alan Wesley McDorman, 41, of Sebring passed away on Saturday, January 28, 2012 at the Cleveland Clinic. Alan was born in San Nicolas, Argentina the son of James Wesley and Evangeline “Vangie” (Parker) McDorman; he was a 1989 graduate of West Branch High School and a graduate of Baldwin Wallace College in 1993. Alan was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Alliance where his love for God continued to grow. From early childhood, Alan had an irresistible love of books. It was a natural outcome that he should share that love as an English Teacher, teaching in the Mentor and Jackson High School districts. He coached football, shot put and discus and his loyalty as a Pittsburgh Steelers Fan was legendary. A long-held dream came true as he married and became a father. Survivors include his mother “Vangie” McDorman of Boardman, his wife Nikki (Herold) McDorman of Sebring whom he married on July 22, 2005, two daughters; Mollie Kathleen and Kamryn Scout, two step children Alexis Woolf and Lucas Woolf all of the home. He is also survived by two sisters Amy (Stephen) Bossong of West Grove, PA Kathleen (Robert) Menegay of Homeworth, 3 nieces and 1 nephew.
