Alvin William Freeland, Jr., also known as "Bunny," was born on November 15, 1956, to the late Alvin William Freeland, Sr. and Julia Riggs-Freeland in Calvert County, MD. He departed this life sadly on Tuesday, May 11, 2021. The youngest of five siblings, he was given the nickname of Bunny due to his ears.

Alvin, Jr. helped his father with cropping tobacco and raising a garden for the family. Alvin, Jr. was educated in the Calvert County Public Schools system. He graduated from Calvert Senior High School in 1974 as an honors student. He loved playing sports. While in school, he was on the Varsity Basketball team and he also ran Track and Field for high hurdles.

As a child, Alvin, Jr. was baptized in Jesus' Name under the leadership of the late Bishop Jacob Green.

After graduation, Alvin, Jr. attended the RETS Electronic School in Baltimore, MD. He also attended Morgan State University and Tennessee State University. Before he enlisted in the Air Force, he was taking airplane flying lessons. A proud accomplishment was when he flew from Patuxent River Base to Huntingtown, MD to his parents' house and then returned to Patuxent River Base. Later, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and served his tour until honorably discharged with a medical disability. While in the Air Force, he met his wife Elizabeth Clopton and, from the union, they had two daughters, Bianca and Bridgette Freeland.
