NORTH ADAMS, Mass. —  Allan Francis Royal, 61 of North Adams, died on Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2025, at his home.

He was born in North Adams on Nov. 7, 1963, a son of the late John Allan Royal and Beverly Ann (Hart) Royal. He graduated from Drury High School.

Allan worked as a property caretaker for Galusha Construction for many years. He was a communicant of the former Incarnation Church and of St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church. He enjoyed working in his yard, classic cars, spending time with his family, and tending to his parakeet without a name, affectionately known as "The Bird." His favorite part of his evening routine was an ice cream before bed.
