He also enjoyed photography, often snapping priceless moments of high school and college graduations. Allen graduated from Putnam City North High School in 1985 and attended Oklahoma State University. To know Allen was to be instant friends with him. He had a kind word for everyone he met and was never shy about giving a heartfelt compliment. He loved all children and made it his mission to be the fun uncle to all his nieces and nephews. He loved watching UK sports with friends and brothers and especially enjoyed sharing his love of soccer with his son, Gabe. He was a smitten father to his daughter Mackenzie and was wrapped around her finger from birth. He was generous with his time, his talents and his love.
