Allen enjoyed working as a quality control supervisor at the Reynolds Co. for over forty years, who became his extended family. He was a faithful member of Rock Springs Baptist Church. Allen was an avid bass fisherman. Over his life, he fished with many clubs, winning many tournaments, even co-winning a boat in one of them. He mostly enjoyed fishing with his best friends, Jimmy and Mark. Allen's easygoing and good nature will be greatly missed by all who loved him. He is survived by his sister, Karen T. Puckett; father-in-law, Furman Odell Burgess; nieces, Jade Chappell, Toree Powers, and Chanler Burgess; nephews, Chase Burgess and Colby Burgess; great nieces, Hayden Chappell, Payce Chappell, and M.J. Powers; and great nephews, Zane Burgess and Cash Powers. In addition to his wife and parents, he was predeceased by a sister, Sally Lynn Stephens; and a brother-in-law, James Mark Puckett. Memorial services will be held at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, January 6, 2022 in the Chapel of Robinson Funeral Home - Powdersville Road.
