Obituary of Alan Kenneth Japuntich

Alan Kenneth Japuntich, 37, was tragically taken too soon and sent to Heaven, the result of an automobile accident on October 2, 2022.  

Alan was born August 6, 1985 in Waukegan, IL.  He attended Beach Park schools and graduated from Zion-Benton Township Highschool in 2003.  He was employed as an E-Commerce Manager at Trifinity Distributions in Kenosha, Wisconsin.  Alan’s personality as huge as his smile and deep as his dimples.  He had such a love and passion for anyone that was in his life.  He leaves behind his beautiful boys, Jaxsen and Lance, who were the shining light in his life and he adored them beyond explanation - now he will forever be their shining light.  Alan enjoyed the Cubs, Bears, music, and had a huge obsession with shoes and hats.

Alan will be dearly missed by his children, Jaxsen and Lance; mother, Sandie; father, Ken (Joan); his adored sister, Tatiana (James) Scalzo; and nieces, Gianna and Adrianna Scalzo.

He will also be mourned by his Uncle Nick and Aunt Charissa Eliopoulos, along with a host of many other aunts, uncles and cousins; his Godparents, Dino and Elaine Kallianis.  He also leaves behind the love of his life, Melissa Mattonen, her daughter Jada Torres, and their dog Levi.  He will be forever missed by his best friend, James Trevino, they were brothers through and through.  The world is now without Alan but we will hold him dearly in our hearts and keep his memory alive with the many stories, pictures and laughter we shared with him.  

He will be greeted in Heaven by the family members that went before him - grandparents, Barbara and John Japuntich, and Bill and Ioanna Eliopoulos; Uncle Jimmy Eliopoulos, and his Cigarette Buddy Anita Scalzo to show him the ropes.
