Perry “Alan” Lisenby

7/30/1963-12/27/2023

A beloved member of our community passed away on December 27th, 2023.

Alan will always be remembered by his hard work and his heart to serve; he never turned down an opportunity to help someone day or night. He was respected by many in the North Highland Community as he took care of the sick and encouraged many on the streets. He was an active and cherished member of Highland Community Church. He served as part of the Chicken and Rice Team every Saturday morning bringing food to the poor, and he was known to go into unreached areas that no one else would go.

He had a joy as he worked that came from his faith in the Lord that enabled him to serve his neighbors and community in many ways that cannot be replaced. His last years here with us can be summed up in the greatest commandment: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart…You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mark 12:30-31). He will be deeply missed, and his memory will always be treasured.

Alan is survived by his mother, Joyce Monfort, sister, Silena Thomas, and brother Brian Lisenby. His daughter, Alana Maria Lisenby, along with his three sons Emanuel, John, and Kraig Lisenby are also with us, cherishing the memory of their father. He is preceded in death by his father, Jerry Lisenby, and his eldest brother, Larry Lisenby.

A memorial service will be held for Alan at Highland Community Church (3408 5th Avenue Columbus, Ga 31904), on Wednesday, January 10th at 4:00 pm. Alan’s desire was to leave money to help support his young daughter, Alana. Donations may be made out to Highland Community Church, and any money collected will be put into a savings account for her. Thank you for helping us honor his memory.
