PVT Brandyn N. Allen

US Army PVT Brandyn N. Allen, age 28, born October 4th, 1997, went to be with his Lord and Savior on December 14th, 2025. He was born in Corpus Christi and spent his childhood and youth in Rockport, Texas. He attended and graduated from Rockport Fulton High School, where he spent his time attending youth group, playing sports, going to the beach with his friends, doing anything outdoors, and driving around in his blue Mustang. As an adult, he learned many trades, worked hard at anything he put his mind to, and never missed a sunset ride on his motorcycle. In 2025, he achieved one of his life goals and joined the military. He was honored and excited to embark on this chapter of his life serving in the United States Army as a 19C Bradley Crew Member & 19C Cavalry Scout with the 194th Armored Brigade. He didn’t know a stranger; in fact, everyone he met was a fast friend. He was quick to lend a helping hand, find the fun in any situation, joke when others needed it, and volunteer to be the first to try something new. This led him to accomplish many incredible things, including choosing to serve his country in the armed forces, being part of the Hope Church Launch team, joining foreign missions to Acuna, Mexico, and doing wheelies on his motorcycle. He loved Jesus, his family, his friends, and even his dogs Yo and Buddy boldly and out loud. He was easy to love, and he will be impossible to forget. He was survived by his parents, Serenity and Eric Allen, his brother Arron Valdez, his sister Kasi Valdez, and his maternal grandmother, Darlene Keller numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and his Battle brothers & Best Friend’s Jeffery Seliga & Mathew McElroy. His family and friends will feel the greatness of his loss forever, and they ask that you join them in remembering and celebrating his life today and every day after. Remember him in your daredevil and adventurous moments, choose to be generous like him when you find those in need, work hard for those you love, and never stop pursuing your relationship with Jesus.

A memorial service will be held at Hope Church in Rockport, Texas at 3:00 p.m. Sunday, December 28, 2026 with full military honors following at Rockport Cemetery.
