Brandon M Allen

Brandon M. Allen, 40, of Gardner, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, September 9, 2025.

Born in Gardner on August 17, 1985, he was the beloved son of Arlen "Butch" Allen of Port Charlotte, Florida, and Carol (Racine) LaBrie of Gardner. He was employed by All Saints Foundations. Previously, he was a maintenance worker with Avery Dennison.

Brandon was a proud member of Stange Creek-Wormtown in Greenfield and found joy in attending music and craft festivals. A skilled and well-known craftsman, he especially loved building hammocks and working on anything with a motor-whether it was his truck, dirt bikes, or four-wheelers. He had a true passion for creating his own motorized vehicles. Brandon was also the one who brought celebrations to life; whenever there was a holiday or family gathering, he was the first to set up and light the fireworks, with the Fourth of July being his favorite. Known as a "Jack of all Trades," Brandon's greatest pride was being a devoted family man, cherishing every moment spent with his loved ones.

Besides for his parents, Brandon is survived by two sons: Gaige Allen and his significant other Hailey Lunn of Townsend, and Isaac Allen of Gardner; two daughters, Autumn Allen of Gardner, and Meadow Allen of Winchendon; three sisters, Tracey Jess and her husband Colby Braconnier of Swanzey, New Hampshire, Tasha Dumas and her husband Mario of Laconia, NH, and Aimee Luongo of Tamarac, FL; Carol's "life partner" and "soul mate," David VanCleave of Gardner; and Brandon's significant other, Sarah Arsenault of Gardner. 

Brandon was predeceased in life by his brother, Dakota Rathburn.
