Honoring the Life of Michael Thomas Allen

Hi Guys, so not the story I want to tell, but gonna try n do my best, as Michael’s sister in law. On Saturday July 19th, Michael had a seizure at home- despite Karen’s efforts, he chose not to go in and be seen by medical personnel. A couple short hours later he collapsed, CPR was done, 911 was called, arrived quickly but were unable to bring our Michael Thomas back. We never imagined this day would come so soon… he was only 44years old and aspired to do and be so much more! He leaves behind his Loving Wife Karen and Treasured 15yr old Daughter Adie Elizabeth. And so many more loved ones and friends, whom he loved so dearly! Michael was incredible with words, always had something to say-most often with a goal to make people smile and feel loved. Michael once told me, “Love never fails! It’s up to us to make time, to spend with the ones we love.” As we come together in his honor, wishing so desperately we could press the rewind button, the funeral planning and costs [that no one could possibly see coming, this soon] are climbing and seeming impossible. If there is any way we could join together, to help Karen with this unbearable Loss- any amount will be greatly appreciated and given directly to Karen and Adie for funeral costs. If you’d feel more comfortable with Venmo or meeting up in person, I can include my cell phone number and Venmo, as well as Karen’s Address for cards. Please understand Karen is overwhelmed with navigating this Loss and next steps, so she’d prefer cards mailed vs phone calls this week. Funeral date will soon be known and we’ll get that info out as soon as possible!

Karen’s Address: 12285 Fremont Lane Zimmerman, MN 55398
