Allen DeLeon Spain

Allen DeLeon Spain, 75, of Kernersville, NC, passed away on October 11, 2024. Born on May 9, 1949, Allen was revered as a true gentleman who dedicated himself to his family and community.

Allen proudly served in the U.S. Army, completing a 13-month tenure before receiving an honorable medical discharge. After his military service, he embarked on a noteworthy career with the United States Postal Service, where he retired as an I.T. Manager after 30 years.

He was a devout member of Grace United Methodist Church in Greensboro, NC. Allen's commitment to community service extended through his involvement with the Ancient Free & Accepted Masons, Order of the Amaranth, and other Masonic bodies. His hobbies included playing golf, woodworking, building computers, camping, and most of all, doting on his grandsons.
