Doug, I worked with you and Denise at Turfland Mall Cinema over 30 years ago. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I can not imagine what you are going through as I have a 19 year-old son myself. I want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Chris and family -

I'm saddened by the news of your loss. Such a heartbreaking loss for such a loved family. Stay strong in your faith and know that Allen is in good hands up there.

I did not know Allen personally, but I went through school with Chris and I know Allen will be truly missed by all...especially my brothers, Grant Gieringer (and Kayla) and Ben Newman. I've watched them hurt over the past few days and I can see how much Allen is loved by all his friends and family.

May God comfort your family during this difficult time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers...

Although i never knew you as well as i could i knew you enough to look at the sky when i heard the news and i knew bear was now doing it big in heaven where our creator God awaits him. Being only 15 death is something i dont have much experience dealing with but the only condolance i continue to keep in my mind is that God needed him back. The 21 years Bear spent on this earth where far to short but i know while he was here he made each person he knew a better person. In loving memory of the only guy good enough to be called simply Bear.

We love you and we will miss you Allen.

I don't even know where to start. Allen was and still is the most amazing person I have ever known. Being around him and having him as one of my dearest friends truely touched my heart. He was a very genuine, sweet and caring guy. He didn't have a mean bone in his body. He always knew just the right way to make anyone smile or laugh in any situation. I love him and will continue to love him with every ounce of my heart. Just as I know anyone who had the chance to be a part of his life will. My thoughts and prayers will forever be with his family.

..We all miss you Bear, you're life was drawn way too short. Your legacy will continue living on through all of us, until the day comes that we each see you again. I love you.

Allen was my dearest and best friend. He knew me better than anyone else. He taught me a lot of things during the time i spent with him which was practically everyother day. He put others before himself, loved with all his heart, and he knew how to crack jokes to losen up the mood. I loved and still love him with all my heart and i see him as family. He will never be forgotten. His family will always be in my heart and in my prayers.
