He was born June 25, 1949 in Pennington Gap, Virginia. He was raised in the Fairland community in Shelby County and was a 1967 graduate of Triton Central High School. He was employed for over 40 years at Amtrak in Beech Grove, retiring as a foreman.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Marvin Glenn and Joan (Wilkinson) Allen and sisters, Linda Beattey and Debbie Armstrong.
Mike, our dad and grand-dad, was gentle and strong and loved his family above all else. He loved to read and learn and work hard. He taught us to be grateful and help others, be honest, and say our prayers. He loved basketball, golf, running marathons, fishing, chopping wood, and rolling dice. He loved to see his family grow and succeed. Thanks for showing us the way. We love you and we will miss you.
A celebration of Mike's life will be held from 4 to 7 p.m., Saturday, May 3, 2025 at Willow Branch United Methodist Church, 6244 N. Thomas St., Wilkinson, Indiana 46186.
