Alfred William Bonner of Acworth, Georgia, is no longer with us. At the age of 65, Alfred unexpectedly passed away on January 4, 2026, ending a life filled with diligence, quiet tenacity, and undying love for his family.
Born on December 4, 1960, Alfred approached every day with the kind of determination that comes from knowing the value of effort. He worked in many trades over the years, starting with rebuilding auto parts, then running his own roofing business, and later building houses from the ground up. No matter the job, he brought pride and a strong work ethic, treating each task as a chance to do things right and provide for those he loved.
Family was the true center of Alfred’s world, the motivation behind every long day and tough decision. He poured his heart into those closest to him, finding joy in the roles of husband, father, and grandfather. Though he faced profound losses along the way—preceded in death by his father, William “Bill” Bonner; his first wife, Kathy Bonner; his brother, James Bonner; and his grandson, Ethan Hendricks—Alfred carried on with a resilience that inspired everyone around him.
In Acworth and the surrounding communities, Alfred was known as someone who lived fully and honestly. He embraced life’s demands without complaint, balancing hard work with the simple pleasures of time spent with family. His legacy is one of love, strength, and dedication, qualities that will continue to guide those he leaves behind as they navigate the days ahead.
Friends and family will gather to honor Alfred’s life on January 11, 2026, at Georgia Funeral Care in Acworth. Visitation begins at 2:00 PM, followed by a funeral service at 3:00 PM. These moments together will offer a space to share stories, offer comfort, and celebrate the full life he lived.
Though the pain of this loss feels overwhelming now, Alfred’s spirit endures in the hearts of all who knew him. His example of perseverance and love will keep shining through, a quiet light for his family and community in the years to come.
