Alden Clanahan, right
We just learned of the passing Alden Clanahan, an executive with Dallas Market Center and a frequent patron of social functions in Dallas; he was also a DIFFA volunteer.
According to Clanahan’s friend and next door neighbor, Michael A. Smith, Clanahan failed to show up at work several days ago and did not answer calls. Earlier today, police were dispatched and entered his apartment and found him dead. “His dog Bella was at his side,” Smith said.
His colleague Rawlins Gilliland, who worked with Clanahan when he was at Neiman Marcus, mourned Clanahan on his Facebook page. When Gilliland did his experimental fundraising marathon on KERA last fall, Clanahan was one of his guest hosts. “It’s too much to say goodbye,” Gilliland wrote.
No other details were available.
Thank you for this. Alden was a devoted friend to the community & those who needed our help most through his tireless work with DIFFA, to which the family has asked all donations be made.
Actually, my quote was ‘It’s much too soon to say good-bye’. But I like your version as well. RIP. Dallas lost a lion this winter’s week.
