A man of many talents, Allen was an ex-Golden Gloves boxer and a gifted artist. His freehand paintings were so remarkable that Mr. Thompson, his high school art teacher, invited him back every year, a rare and special honor.

Allen's life was a beautiful journey, marked by love, creativity, and resilience. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. May his soul rest in peace.
