Obituary

Alan Richard Blommer was born on April 11, 1939 in Wheaton, Minnesota and died on February 21, 2016 in Dallas, Texas at the age of 76.  He passed away at home peacefully in his sleep after a 6 year battle with Dementia.  He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and very proud of his family.  He met his wife Mary in Florence, Texas and they were married for 53 years. He grew up on a farm in Minnesota, but the family spent their winters in Texas.  After marriage, he was a grain farmer in Wahpeton, North Dakota.  He loved that farm, but eventually sold it to start a citrus grove care business in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.  While living in Mission, Texas, he was called to become a preacher, so he sold the citrus grove care business and moved his family to Dallas, Texas.  He graduated from Dallas Baptist University and received his Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.  He was a Southern Baptist minister at the University Baptist Church in Galveston, Texas and loved to preach God’s Word.  In later years, he was self-employed and started several small businesses.  He spent several years in long haul truck driving which included two years in Iraq as military support.  He enjoyed gardening, traveling and especially liked the mountains.  He loved to work and was happiest when he was busy. Preceded in death by his father George, mother Norma, sister Joanne and brother George.  Survived by his wife Mary, son Alan Jr., daughter Scarlet, son-in-law Roy Bell and granddaughters Shaina & Ashley Bell.  Also, Ashley’s fiancé Adam Robinson and many cousins, nieces and nephews. The funeral service will be held on February 27, 2016 at 2:00 pm with the viewing starting one hour before at Aria Cremation Service & Funeral Homes 19310 Preston Rd. Dallas, TX. 75252. We love you, we miss you and we will see you in heaven. Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
