The Lord called for our daughter, Dawn Marie (Gross) Radtke Allen, to come home to Heaven on Thursday, October 30th, 2025. Dawn was 48 years old. She passed away at home in a house fire.

She leaves behind to mourn her loss, her children, Dylan, Mady, and Maylee Radtke; her husband, Mike Allen; mother and stepdad, Deb and Brad Hedke; biological father, David and (Linda) Gross; plus a brother, Jeremy (Sheri) Gross of Minnesota. She lost her best friend 10 years ago, her sister whom she adored.

Everything was lost in the fire. Mike and Dawn had no insurance. We are asking for help, only if you can, for memorials or donations to help cover the cost of the funeral home, relocating, and living expenses for Mike. All prayers are greatly appreciated . Mike got out of it with only the clothes on his back. The kids were not there and live with their dad and stepmom, so they are taken care of now.

This family is a mess right now. We've never had to do anything like this before. Thank you to all that have been sending up prayers for Mike and the family. We need every one of them. Services will be set at a later time. Skinner Funeral Home in Cumberland is making arrangements. God bless you all, and I pray that this never happens to anyone else.
