Alvin Gilcrease was born at Vanderberg Air Force Base on November 17, 1979, to Alvin and Darla Gilcrease. The family would later move to Bastrop County, Texas where Alvin attended Bastrop High School and went on to become a lineman-foreman. Alvin was a member of Sacred Heart Church of Rockne.  Alvin enjoyed fishing, hunting, and traveling with his wife.
