Ricky Wayne Allen

Rick you will be forever missed. You were a great friend and a wonderful man. You always made us feel so welcome in your home. We love you. Until we meet again in Heaven.

God bless you Kiki, Rick would be so happy and proud to read your eloquent account of his life written with such love and grace. I am wonderfully blessed for the opportunites to laugh and cry and pray with Rick, such a dear open hearted man. Charles and I are enriched to know him, and Bianca was greatly encouraged by Mr. Rick when she played her guitar for him; he was such a wealth of musical knowledge and experience. Praise God, hallelujah, thank you Jesus we will all be together again one day.

My husband, Allen, and I are among Rick's Missouri friends. We graduated with him in the Zizzer Class of '79. He was such a fun-loving, "wild-and-crazy" guy. His unique taste in music, style and humor always set him apart from the crowd. I never hear a Kool & The Gang song without thinking of Rick! Remembering his carefree spirit always makes me smile. We send our condolences on his passing. He will be missed by many.

Rick always had so much enthusiasm for life. As kids, we had so much fun together. Sometimes we forget that all things have a time limit and we take for granite that there will always be a tomorrow. I am so thankful that he and I were able to spend part of our youth together. Thank you Kiki for making his life so good. He truly loved you and it is easy to know that you loved him. Love you both!

Thank You Kiki for this beautiful obituary. You know I love your husband, he has moved from earth we know, and miss him, but he lives on in heaven. We continue to pray for your comfort, peace, and future. We love you and thank Hod for being you both into our lives.
