Alan Francis Boney

Alan Boney of D’Iberville, MS, a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished grandfather, passed away surrounded by his loving family on September 8, 2025, at the age of 75.

Born on October 14, 1949, in Biloxi, MS, to the late Vernon and Minnie Boney, he was a true outdoorsman at heart. Alan developed a deep love for the outdoors, and most of all hunting, from a young age. His life was a testament of hard work, deep family bonds, and a love for the simple joys that made every day meaningful. He was a man of immense humor and wisdom, cherishing every moment spent with his loved ones. For decades, his favorite place was his deer stand or his cabin, where he spent countless hours hunting with his son, grandson, and many friends creating lasting memories and some traditions in the process. He will be remembered for his kind heart, his steady presence, generosity, and the joy he brought to those around him.

Alan was a true pillar of the D’Iberville community, dedicating countless hours to coaching Little League, Babe Ruth baseball, and Pee Wee football. As President of both the D’Iberville Little League and Pee Wee Football League, he poured his heart into mentoring generations of young athletes, teaching them not just how to play, but how to carry themselves with integrity, teamwork, and respect. To many, he was more than a coach, he was a mentor, a role model, and a second father. His passion for the game and his love for the kids he coached built a legacy that will live on in the lives of all who had the privilege of playing for him.

After graduating from D’Iberville High School in 1967, Alan began his dedicated career at Ingalls Shipbuilding. He later served the community for many years with the City of Biloxi before joining what would become Cable One, where he remained for three decades until his retirement. Through the company's many transitions and name changes, Alan's loyalty and dedication were unwavering, a testament to his steadfast character.

Alan was preceded in death by his parents, Vernon and Minnie Boney; and his granddaughter, Jessica Lorin Jordan.

Alan's family was his world. He is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Toni Anglado Boney, his partner in all things and his soulmate. He will be deeply missed by his children, Tanya (Lyle) Bourque, and Brent (Cilya) Boney; and his grandchildren, Trey Bourque, Margaret (Maggie) Bourque, and Tanner Boney, who were the light of his life. He also leaves behind his loving sister, Nona McGrevey, and a host of extended family and friends.

A visitation will be held on Friday, September 19, 2025, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in D'Iberville, MS, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 12:00 p.m. Interment will take place at Swetman Cemetery in D'Iberville, MS, where Alan will be laid to rest near his loving parents and granddaughter.

We find comfort in knowing that Alan’s legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us, the love he shared, and the memories will cherish forever.

Bradford-O'Keefe Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Alan Boney.
