Alan Allsopp Obituary

Alan Allsopp, 74, was born on December 3, 1951 in Weymouth and passed away at his home on February 7, 2026 in Plympton, Massachusetts. He was the son of Olga and George Allsopp, both deceased, and the kind of man who lived his life with his hands, his humor, and a deep sense of loyalty to the people he loved.


He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Fred Allsopp; his sister, Sandra Zentz; his stepdaughter, Donna Barboza; his wife, Barbara Allsopp; and his beloved daughter, Brittany Allsopp. He is survived by his son Adam and his wife Nicole; his son Chris; his stepdaughters Deb McCormack and Diane Campbell; and his stepson Walter Dunbar and his wife Paula. He leaves behind grandchildren David Murphy and his wife Whitney, Tyler Allsopp, Caitlin Allsopp, Natalie and Lucas Dunbar, Rob Campbell, Christopher, Shaun, and Dakota Allsopp, and Savanna and Summer Garcia, along with his great‑granddaughter Harper Murphy and many nieces and nephews.


Alan worked hard his entire life. He spent more than 30 years at Eversource as a mechanic and retired as the Facility Foreman. He graduated from Silver Lake High School’s automotive program in 1970, and from that point on, cars were simply part of who he was. He fixed them, restored them, talked about them, and loved them. If you knew Alan, you knew he was a Ford man through and through, and Mustangs were his constant companions from the moment he could drive until the end of his life.


He spent countless hours in his driveway garage helping friends, neighbors, and anyone who needed a hand. He was proud of the cars he restored and proud of the trophies he earned at Plymouth car shows. He loved motorsports, football, and movies, and he had strong opinions about all three. He insisted that Die Hard was a Christmas movie and watched it often enough to prove his point, even if he fell asleep halfway through.


Alan enjoyed a Tito’s and cranberry, and the family believes the drink should be renamed in his honor. He also loved the Upland Club in Plympton, where he found community, conversation, and a place that felt like home. He enjoyed the raffles, the stories, the familiar faces, and the chance to be part of the pit crew on family day.


People experienced Alan in different ways. Some knew him as the person who could fix anything. Some knew him as stubborn. Some found him difficult. Many loved him deeply. He was quiet, smart, resourceful, and steady. He could frustrate you and support you in the same breath. He was imperfect and human and loved in a way that stays with the people he leaves behind.


Services will be held at the Shepherd Funeral Home, 216 Main Street, Kingston, Massachusetts. Visitation will take place on Sunday, February 15, 2026, from 4–7 PM. A service will follow on Monday, February 16, 2026, at 11:00 AM at the Shepherd Funeral Home. A private burial for the family will take place at a later date . 


All are welcome to join the family for a Celebration of Life immediately following the service at the Upland Club, 76 Upland Road, Plympton, Massachusetts.


In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the ASPCA in Alan's name.
