Mr Hay finished 12th in the 1500 metres at the Games in India and was a long-term member of Central Athletic Club in Stirling and Clackmannanshire.
Alastair Hay, who competed for Scotland at the 2010 Games in New Delhi, India, leaves behind a wife and two children after his recent passing.
Mark Pollard, our Head of Performance at Scottish Athletics, said: "‘Ali was a gentle giant in our sport whose quality and consistency was extraordinary over the years. "He was a multiple Scottish champion over the years and Commonwealth Games representative at Delhi 2010, Ali will be missed greatly by the athletics community in Scotland and of course by the Central AC family.
"For me, he was a real catalyst for the resurgence in male 1500m in Scotland – Ali showed the way for the likes of a young Chris O’Hare to aspire to, which led to a chain of success down the years that continues to this day."He won the Senior Men’s gold on two occasions and a bronze medal in two further years. But I am pretty sure he took just as much enjoyment from being a mainstay in the Central AC team who won the Senior men’s team gold year after year after year.
“Ali was an outstanding performer for Central for over 20 years. Moreover, he was an even better friend to all within the club, incredibly kind spirited, and a great supporter of the club and all its athletes.“A memorial and funeral service will be held at West Lothian Crematorium on Thursday June 27 at 11am for all to attend.”
