Alfred Leon Garland

Alfred Leon Garland of Burlington, North Carolina, known to many as "Alfred G." departed this life on October 17, 2020.  He was 66. 

Born just a few days before Christmas on December 23, 1953, Alfred was the son of the late Allison and Catherine Baynes Garland.  He attended Jordan-Sellars High School and graduated with the 1972 Class of Walter M. Williams High School.  

Alfred was known for his neat dress and for being a trendsetter with many remembering his 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass, equipped with a TV and antenna (Super-Fly Style).  He was a gifted Brick Mason who took pride in his work and the craftsmanship of his structures were second to none.  He also loved to bowl and was awarded multiple trophies in local and regional championship tournaments. 

As a child he became a member of Sweet Gum Grove Missionary Baptist Church, Mebane, North Carolina  and reunited with the church a few years ago attending both Sunday School and Morning Worship Services until his health declined.  

Those left to cherish his memories are his sister: Marilyn Jean Graves (Jonah Edward) of Burlington, North Carolina; wife: Genevia Garland of Burlington, North Carolina; three daughters: Kimberly Garland, Tiffany Garland and Tamela Garland all of Burlington, North Carolina; five grandchildren: Samir Slade, Tremarian Smith, Jamarious "Nikeigh" Slade, Tristin Lee and Tariah Garland as well as aunts, uncles, nieces & nephews other relatives and dear friends.
