Kenneth Allen “Allen” Chambers, age 70, of Indiana, passed away on December 18, 2025, at Plainfield Healthcare Center in Plainfield, Indiana. He was born on April 7, 1955, in Bloomington, Indiana.
Allen was a devoted and loving father whose greatest pride was his family. He is survived by his daughter, Laura Chambers Snider, and son-in-law, Daman Snider; his stepson, James Duncan; his grandchildren, Brian Wilkins Jr. and Alyssa Brokaw; his sister, Deborah Hamilton, and brother-in-law, Chuck Hamilton; and his nieces and nephews, Collin Chambers, Krystol Ward, Diana Ridenour, Megan Hamilton, Ashley Hamilton, and Zach Hamilton.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Kenneth Earl Chambers and Patricia Ann Rogers Chambers; his wife, Linda Chambers; and his brother, Larry Chambers.
Allen worked for many years as a heavy equipment operator for multiple companies, most recently Hessit Works in Spencer, Indiana. He was hardworking and dependable, taking pride in his work throughout his career.
Allen was known for his laid-back personality and kind heart. He was friendly to everyone he met and never missed an opportunity to tell a joke—whether to family, friends, or strangers. He had a deep love for music, especially Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, which brought him great joy.
There will be no services at this time. A celebration of life will be planned for the spring with friends and family in Colorado.
In lieu of gifts or flowers, please support the performing arts and maybe venture to see a comedy show.
