Allen Crow Obituary

Allen Crow, 70, passed away on April 14, 2025, in Aurora, Colorado. Born on June 24, 1954, in Delta, Colorado, Allen spent his entire life rooted in the state he loved while exploring the world with an adventurous spirit.

A proud Coloradan through and through, Allen built a business that continues to serve the people of Colorado—a lasting testament to his dedication and entrepreneurial drive. He approached life with determination and resilience, never encountering an obstacle he couldn’t overcome. His strength of character was matched by a generous heart and a remarkable ability to listen deeply to those around him.

Allen had a passion for travel that took him across the globe. Despite his deep ties to Colorado, he found joy in discovering new places and cultures. His love for collecting guns and cars reflected his appreciation for craftsmanship and history. He also found peace and satisfaction working with wood—an outlet that allowed him to create with his hands and leave behind tangible expressions of his creativity.

He is lovingly remembered by his son Timothy Crow and wife Liza; his daughter Chella Alarid and husband Todd; granddaughter Raechel Alarid and her husband Devin; great-granddaughter Lilliannah; his sister Shirley Fine and her husband Brian; nephew Ken Kerns, wife Danell, children Kaelen and Conor; nephew Kurt’s widow Monica, daughter Kamila; and also many close friends. Allen was preceded in death by his parents, Homer and Elaine Crow; his brother Glen Crow; and nephew Kurt Kerns.

A memorial gathering to honor Allen’s life will be held on June 13, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, at 12056 E Alaska Ave, Aurora, Colorado 80012.

Allen’s presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to those who carry him in their hearts.
