Allen Mongene Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Family Life Funeral Homes - Pickford (formerly Galer FH) on Sep. 12, 2025.
Allen Fred Mongene, age 74, of Brimley, Michigan, died on September 7, 2025, at the Ball Hospice House in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. He was born on January 11, 1951, in Sault Ste. Marie to Fred and Virginia (Germain) Mongene. Allen grew up in Raco, Michigan, and was a proud graduate of Brimley High School. He dedicated over three decades of his life as a security guard at Bay Mills Casino in Brimley, where he served faithfully for 31 years. Allen was a proud member of the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Known for his strong work ethic and dedication to his job, Allen was often described as a workaholic. However, in his younger years, he found joy in the outdoors, spending time hunting and fishing-activities that connected him deeply to the natural beauty of the region. Allen is survived by his sons, Eric (Patricia) Mongene of Raco, Michigan and Lloyd (Lisa) Smith of Pennsylvania; grandchildren, Eric Allen Mongene, Eli Ezekiel Mongene, Ehan Everett Mongene; siblings, Elizabeth (Mike) Trimm, Donna (Jeff) Smith, Kenny Mongene, and Mark Vaser. Allen was preceded in death by his wife, Sarah Mongene; and sister, Eleanor (Gene) Swartz. Per Allen's wishes there will be no service. Condolences may be left to the family at www.familylifefh.com.
