Allen Whayne McClure

Allen McClure, 81, of Dallas passed away Monday, October 31, 2022. He was born July 31, 1941 in Corpus Christi, Texas to Sam and Cliff McClure where they lived until he was five years old, and then moved to Richardson, Texas. Allen developed lifelong friends while growing up in Richardson, while embracing the joys of small-town living.

He graduated from Richardson High School, then received his bachelor's degree from the University of North Texas. After graduation, Allen went to work in the mortgage industry, and that's when he decided to go to Law school at SMU where he graduated in 1967. He spent 52 years practicing law in Dallas and buying real estate.

Allen was an avid cyclist and could be seen riding around White Rock lake on any given day or any weekend bike rally within 60 miles of Dallas. He also had a passion for sailing, snow skiing, and playing softball with his fellow attorneys. The lake house was his favorite getaway from the big city, but when he had more time, Frisco, Colorado in the summertime seemed to make him the happiest. Allen never lost touch with his Richardson high school friends and loved them all like family. Allen made a very successful life for himself, but nothing was more important to him than the love of his life Kay McClure, his kids, and grandkids. They always came first and everything else fell into place according to plan.

He leaves behind his wife of 52 years, Kay; son David McClure and wife Tracey; daughter Jordan and son Allen Scott, son Steven McClure and wife Jenny; sons Caden, Will and Ryan, daughter Jill Genovese and husband Brian; daughter Ella and son Cole. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.

At Allen's request, his body was donated to UT Southwestern Medical Center for the advancement of science with the hope that someday a cure will be found for Alzheimer disease. There will be a celebration of his life at Ozona's (Garage Room), November 13, 2022 from 2-5pm
