This is nothing new to anyone. DON was the most kindest , nicest and wonderful person. It saddens me to know that a person as great as him was taken away too soon. He has left a legacy and not because he had to because he wanted to. God has a wonder person now to help watch over all of us.

Don Allen was a man who was willing to work with you if you were willing to work. Though the frequency of our dealing with one another was not often, when we did, he was a gentleman and fair. Thank you for the opportunities, Mr Allen. Via Con Dios.

Our thoughts and prayers are extended to the family in this time of mortal loss. While embraces are offered during these next few days, our hearts will always reach out to our dear friend, Carolyn. We are sure that her faith will follow Mr. Don's soul on his journey to final peace and glorious reward. Say not in grief: "He is no more", but live in thankfulness that he was. Hebrew Proverb

My heart was saddened to hear of the loss of this wonderful man. Don and Glenda, two of the finest people I've ever had the privilege to know. Don had a sense of humor like no other and a heart of gold. I never think of Don without thinking of soccer! God's blessings to Glenda and the boys at this time. Praying his comfort during this time of sorrow. ( I still have my birdhouse. )

Donald Ray, my favorite uncle! I am so sorry for the pain and suffering you have gone thru for the last few years. Even though we never really spent much time together, except when I was young and you thought I was a brat, I did love you. I'll miss my yearly birthday call from you, as well as me trying to call you for yours. May you rest in peace and tell my Dad hello.

Love, Cindy

Donald Ray Allen was a Stand up Guy. A man of Integrity. I have known Don for some 40 years and he was a man that I always admired in his Very Professional life and Personal life as well. He was old school in the way he took care of business, lived his life, and took care of his family. He cared about his community and gave back so much over the years. To Glenda and the children you are Blessed to have lived your life with one of the Best. Don will be missed by an entire community and a World of Friends. He left this world a better place than when he came into it ! I am Honored to have known a man such as him in my life. May God comfort each and everyone who knew him.

Don and Glenda are two of the finest people I have known. Don was always full of joy and so much fun to be with. From coaching soccer together or just meeting on the street he always had a kind words to offer. He meant so much to the Weatherford area through all the things he did. He will truly be missed and but will always remain in our hearts. We will cherish the memories forever. May God bless Glenda and family in this time of sorrow.

There were so many experiences Don and I shared throughout the twenty-eight years we knew one another. From coaching soccer against one another to working side by side professionally, it was a privilege to know him. My prayers are with each of the family. God bless you All!

Don was one of my favorite people at Jerry's. My husband worked there off and on since 1993. Don always had something to say to me when I was there, no matter what part of the dealership I was at, he was always there watching over his flock. He is truly going to be missed.
