Allan Alegado

Allan Alegado, (1971-2024), age 52, of Orlando, FL, died of cardiac arrest on 22 September 2024. He was born in Manila, Philippines, arrived in the US on January 1973, and got his US citizenship status on November 1978. He belonged to a military family where moving around to many places was part of life. Eventually settling down in Orlando, FL, Allan attended Colonial High School before studying to be an electrical engineer at the University of Central Florida (UCF). While working his way through college, he worked at SeaWorld Orlando and Universal Studios Orlando. As a lifelong artist, he loved to draw and sketch just about anything and everything to hone in his craft.
