Family of Murder Victim Manchella (Joe) Allen

On  Feb 27th, 2021 Manchella "Joe" Allen was murdered at the Cookies & Cream Night Club in Theodore, AL while out supporting a friend at a birthday celebration in a senseless act of violence in front of his wife. He was a dedicated employee at APM Terminal, Mobile, AL.  He  spoke very highly of his employer, coworkers, and even the truck drivers he encountered daily. He was a hardworking father who over the years has been very active in the community. He was a little league sports coach and almost like a second father to his players for over 7 years.

Manchella had just purchased a new home for his family. He leaves behind a grieving wife, oldest son whom is left to help his stepmother to care for  and lead his 3 younger brothers, a son heading to college, a future football/basketball star for whom he has never missed a practice or game, and a very smart and a 4th extremely intelligent son. We would like to help make life a little easier in this sad time for his wife and kids by showing  them as much love as possible to assist with funeral expenses, mortgage payments, or any other expenses she may need help with to ease or prevent hardship while she is grieving the loss of her husband.

This man has never bothered anyone he was out having fun with his wife and friends. He has always been there for every friend he has made and he considered all of his friends family. He was the epitome of a family man, father, son, husband, co-worker, and friend. He loved his job and his He will be truly missed by every one near and far. His family will be able to see all who leave a donation.
God bless you all.
