He was born February 21, 1931, in Benson, Arizona to Charles and Ada Plumb. On October 15, 1953, he married the love of his life Ranae Bertha Jones in the Mesa, Arizona Temple.

Alonzo lived a full life of many accomplishments. He was a successful builder, a city councilman, and a proud Army veteran. But his greatest pride was in his family. He took great joy in his family and loved to spend time with them. From ski trips with his children to lively board games with his grandchildren, he always filled everything with laughter and love.
