Eric Allen Obituary

Eric Alexander Allen
Eric Alexander Allen, age 34 of Black Rock passed away on Friday, March 19, 2021. Eric was born in Bridgeport and grew up in Fairfield. He was a 2004 graduate of Fairfield Prep and a proud member of the Temple University graduating class of 2009. Following his graduation Eric worked as an accounts manager for Securitas and then as a landscaper/project manager for Outdoor Design where he worked tirelessly to beautify the outdoor spaces of homes in the Fairfield area, often going far beyond what was expected. That was Eric. He respected and was a friend to the men he worked alongside of no matter what language they spoke or where they were from. That was Eric.
Eric was also forever in his heart a Philly boy, home of his dad's family. He loved his alma mater Temple and he loved all things football, both playing it and watching it. He chose Temple partly due the fact that Temple's football team played at "The Linc," home of his team, the Philadelphia Eagles. He enjoyed disc golf, weekend getaways with Meaghan (before Carson) going to the gym and very spicy food. Eric lived a full life and was surrounded by people who loved and will continue to love him.
Most of all, Eric was a kind, loving man. His most cherished time was spent with Meaghan, truly the love of his life, and their beautiful baby boy Carson James. Eric was a quiet humble man who detested the spotlight. He did so much for so many and truly never spoke of it. He was one of those guys that had no energy to speak badly of another. A beautiful smile and eyes that saw you, really saw you. He was a caring husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend. The life he led, the people who he loved and loved him will forever hold him in their hearts.
In addition to Meaghan and Carson, Eric is survived by his parents, Jody and Robert, his sisters; Hayley Allen Blakney (Jason), Rose Allen, brothers and sister-in-law Michael Lahiff (Ashley), Conor Lahiff, Ryan Lahiff, Katie Lahiff, Jake Lahiff, and his mother-in-law Laura Lahiff. He is also survived by his nephew Emmett Blakney and nieces Sage Blakney, Isabella Lahiff and Gabriella Lahiff as well as many loving aunts, uncles and cousins.
A grave side ceremony will be held at Loyalty Cemetery on Thursday, March 25th at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a GoFundMe account for his surviving wife and son: https://gofund.me/a35d6a8d.

I’m deeply sadden and truly heart-broken to hear about the passing of Eric Allen. ✡ He was a remarkable young man who I’ve known for almost 30 years since we started Kindergarten during the Fall of 1991 and he will sorely be missed. My condolences and prayers go out to all of his family members, friends and loved ones, especially his parents, wife and son, during this time of great tragedy.
