Allen was truly a people person who loved life and cherished every moment with his family. He adored children, especially his grandkids, and always had endless stories and memories to share. Allen loved fishing and found joy in the simple things. He was a devoted father to Brooklynn, Dylan, and me, Brittany, and a beloved sibling to Keith, Carrie, Lisa, Renee, Jason, and Lindsay. He was also a proud grandfather to eight wonderful grandkids. Allen’s warmth and kindness touched everyone who knew him, and his memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.

Allen was a proud member of the union for many years and enjoyed his career as a pipeliner. Even as he faced health issues in the last few years, he remained dedicated to his work and the values it represented. His commitment and pride in his career were a big part of who he was.

His passing was completely unexpected, leaving our family heartbroken and facing the sudden expenses that come with saying goodbye. We want to honor Allen’s memory with a service that reflects the love and joy he brought into our lives.

We are asking for help to cover the funeral service costs. Anything you can give is deeply appreciated during this difficult time. In Allen’s words, “I’ll give you a dollar, 2.99”—every bit of support means the world to us as we navigate this loss and celebrate his life.
