Alvin Haug

On June 11, 2023, the world lost an amazing man, a loving husband and father, a best of friends, and a great warrior of God. Alvin Haug, 59, was a free spirit and lived a life of love and peace. Alvin was known for his big heart and his forgiving ways, and he left a mark on every person he crossed paths with. He was the type of man to take a stranger out of the cold and into his home or to give the shirt off his back to even the ones who wished him bad. He constantly won the hearts of people with his grace and love for others. There were very few people whom Alvin met who didn’t consider him a friend or family. A father of eight, Alvin was also known for his hard work. He loved his job as a plant mechanic and spent 30 years with Washington Potato and was said “to be the heart of the plant.” He instilled the same strong work ethic in his children. A simple man, Alvin always believed that a man’s legacy would be survived by his friends and family, to which he had in abundance.
