Allan Julius Netz

Allan Julius Netz, 85, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother, passed away on March 3, 2024. He was born on January 22, 1939, to Oscar and Harriet (Shimman) Netz. Allan bravely served his country in the US Army from 1957-1959 and was dedicated to his work as a driver at Consumer's Industrial Laundry and later at Car Trucking, where he retired.
Allan met the love of his life, Connie Taylor, on a blind date, and they were united in marriage on December 2, 1961, in Detroit. Their love and partnership were a source of joy and strength until Connie's passing in 2004.
In his leisure time, Allan had a passion for bowling and could often be found on various leagues, relishing every moment on the lanes. He was also a loyal fan of the Detroit Lions, although he often joked that he would never live to see them win another championship. His family says he proved them right.
Allan will be dearly missed by his children, David Netz, and Kathy (Danny) Therrien; grandchildren, Michael (Dez) Netz, Ashley (TJ) Hilbert, and Jonathan Sampeer; great-grandchildren, Jackson, Ava, Grayson, and Savannah; his brother, David Netz, and a host of other family members and friends.
Allan was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Connie, and his parents, Oscar and Harriet Netz. His memory will forever be cherished by those who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace.
