Montague Center, MA – The community is in mourning following the passing of Alan T. Stone, who died on February 19, 2026, at the age of 40. Born in Greenfield on October 6, 1985, Alan was the son of Tracy and Pamela Hill Stone. He leaves behind a legacy marked by his passion for craftsmanship and the outdoors.
Alan attended Gill-Montague Schools and graduated with the class of 2004. His professional skills were largely centered around carpentry and drywall, where he earned a reputation as a talented craftsman. Known for his adventurous spirit, Alan enjoyed spending his free time outdoors, whether it was racing on a snowmobile, dirt bike, or motorcycle. The thrill of the open air was a defining aspect of his life.
He was not just a skilled worker but also a devoted friend and family member, cherished by many. Alan’s absence will be deeply felt by those who knew and loved him. He is survived by his parents, his grandfather Edward Stone (and partner Lori), along with a large, loving family that includes numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
In a touching tribute to his bond with family, Alan is now reunited with his brother and best friend, Nicholas Stone, along with his faithful boxer, Cooper, and his grandmothers, Dale Stone and Mary Sanford.
In accordance with his wishes, there will be no formal services held. Instead, a celebration of Alan’s life is planned for a later date, allowing friends and family to share their memories and honor his spirit.
To honor Alan’s memory, his family encourages donations to the American Diabetes Association, located at P.O. Box 7023, Merrifield, VA 22116, or to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office Regional Dog Shelter, at 10 Sandy Lane, Turners Falls, MA 01376. These contributions reflect Alan’s caring nature and his love for animals.
Friends and community members wishing to pay their respects can sign the guest book or express their condolences through flowers, donations, or other heartfelt tributes. Alan T. Stone will be remembered for his vibrant spirit and the joy he brought into the lives of those around him.
