It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Alan Wayne Pinel, a beloved husband, dedicated city worker, and decorated military veteran. Born on July 27, 1948, in Acushnet, MA, Alan spent his life serving his community in Fall River, Massachusetts, before his peaceful departure on April 15, 2025 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Alan was the embodiment of the saying, "A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles." He was a man of integrity and resilience, working tirelessly for the Department of Public Works in Fall River until his retirement. His unwavering commitment to his job and his community was an inspiration to all who knew him. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Diane Pinel, with whom he shared countless cherished moments. Alan's life was defined not just by his dedication to his work, but also by his profound love for his wife, family, and friends.

Preceded in death by his father, Alfred Pinel, and mother, Teresa Ramunno, Alan left behind a legacy of service, love, and dedication.

Alan is survived by his loving wife Diane, and two sons Michael and Nicholas.

A funeral service with military honors will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Word of Life Community Church, located at 1647 Robeson Street, Fall River, Massachusetts, 02720.

We invite all to come and celebrate Alan's life, and to remember a man who gave so much of himself to others.

In Alan's memory, we encourage you to leave your treasured memories and upload photos to his memorial page. As we share our stories, let us remember and honor a man who lived his life with conviction and love. Alan's spirit will forever be a beacon of strength and perseverance in our hearts. Let us remember him not with sadness, but with gratitude for the time we shared and the love he brought into our lives.
