Corey Allen Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hansen Desert Hills Mortuary and Cemetery - Scottsdale on Mar. 16, 2026.
We are heartbroken that Corey James Allen, the beloved son of Merilyn and Vince Allen, passed away suddenly on March 6, 2026, at age 40.

Corey enjoyed playing the cello in his middle school (Cocopah) and high school (Chaparral) orchestras. His musical tastes spanned from Bach to Dylan. At home he played his guitar to his current favorite bands.

Corey graduated from Northern Arizona University with a degree in Business Administration. He developed a love of the outdoors, including the California beaches and the mountains of Pinetop, AZ, where he spent a lot of time with family. He was his dad's best fishing buddy. He and his mom loved going to the movies and shopping together.

He was a great sports fan, closely following the NY Mets, NY Giants, AZ Diamondbacks and all college sports.

Corey will forever be remembered in our hearts and memories. His beautiful smile will shine on. May he find eternal peace in the arms of the Lord as he joins family members and friends in life after death.

A celebration of life is being planned by the family for April 11, 2026. Please reach out to Merilyn and Vince for more information.

In lieu of flowers, please feel free to donate in honor of Corey Allen to:
