Allen Harvey Lenz "Big Al", born September 1, 1951, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 19, 2025. He is survived by his children: Cindy Broderick-Solorio (husband Danny), Heather Sutton (husband Matt), Allen Lenz (wife Katie), Aaron Lenz (wife Cortney ), and Alex Lenz. Grandchildren: Alec Broderick, Mackenzie Broderick, Carolynn Solorio, Michael Solorio, Dwain Sutton, Emily Sutton, Dominic Lenz, Evan Lenz, Lucas Lenz, Elliot Lenz, and Henry Lenz. Siblings: Judy Lenz, Greg Lenz, Robert Lenz, and Kenny Lenz Al moved to Houston in the early 80's where he owned and operated 6 pizzerias, named Pizza Palace, in Houston and Katy for over 10 years. He then went into the construction business, building out many large franchise pizzerias. Though Al lived a quiet life, he will be remembered by those who knew him for his love of fast cars, Starbucks and his dry sense of humor paired with his distinct laugh and facial expressions. No formal service will be held, per Al's wishes. His ashes will be scattered in Michigan where he grew up.
