Bio
Obituary for Alton Daniel Machan Mr. Alton Daniel Machan, 85, died on July 5, 2023 at his farm near Caldwell. A graveside service will be held at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, July 8, 2023 at the New Tabor Cemetery under the direction of the Phillips & Luckey Funeral Home in Caldwell, Texas. Bro. Joseph Polasek of Snook Brethren Church will officiate. A close friend from childhood, Joe Rychlik, will lead the music. Alton was born October 17, 1937 in Burleson County, Texas, the eleventh child of John Jerry and Lydia Ann Hovorak Machann. He graduated from Caldwell High School in 1954. In his childhood, the family built the home and established the ranch he would own as an adult, working it for the rest of his life. There he enjoyed bird watching, reading, and studying the weather. Alton was a member of the New Tabor Brethren Church, where his grandfather had been a founding elder. He was beloved by his family; they will miss his humor and gift for storytelling. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Lydia Hovorak Machann; siblings: Frank (Stacy) Machann, Lidie Machann, John (Sophie) Machann, Lillian (Steve) Prazak, Lydia Rose (Don) Campbell, Edward Machan, Willie Machan, Julia Machan, Alvin Machan, Robert Machan; nephew Glen Edward Machan and niece Nelda Vera Campbell. Survivors include Nephews: Clinton (Virginia) Machann and Donald (Dessie) Campbell Jr.; Niece: Janice (Fred) Nelson. Great nephews Philip (Sally) Roscher with children Charlotte & Aubrey and James Roscher with Stephen, Brittany, Corbyn, Kaylyn and Connor. Great nieces: Casey (Josh) Akin, Alena (Kersten) Horn with sons Marc & Mattis, Tessie (Tim) West with son Cyril, Sarah (John) Piel. The family appreciates the staff of Traditions Hospice and has heart-felt gratitude for the long hours, responsible caregiving and companionship of his private care givers, past and present. To the end, Debra Cass was beside him, encouraging and patient; the family also owes considerable thanks to Gloria Willett, Natalie Mantle, Fausto Martinez, Bette Bell. The farm has run smoothly with the work of Brycen Johnagin, Benny Cass, and, earlier, Kenneth Bell. Memorials may be given to the charity of your choice in Alton's name.
