Raynold "Worth" "Worth" Allen III III

Raynold "Worth" Allen, III passed away August 11, 2025 in Montpelier, VT. Worth was born August 17, 1979 in Charlotte, NC to Worth and Charlain Allen. Worth grew up in Charlotte, a graduate of Myers Park High School in 1997. Worth graduated from Western Carolina University in 2001 with his B.S. in Criminal Justice. Worth graduated Washington State University, in 2004 with his M.A. in Criminal Justice.

Worth lived in Marblemount, WA with his beloved cat Midnight from 2004-2012, employed as a Washington State Fish and Wildlife Officer. Worth loved the environment and animals above all else and lived to protect them both.

In 2012, Worth continued his career with the National Park Service. During his training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Jekyll Island, FL he was awarded the Expert Marksmanship Award. Also, Worth served as a National Park Federal Officer in Yosemite National Park, CA and Big Bend National Park, TX.

Worth's next adventure took him to Vermont Law and Graduate School where he graduated in 2019 with his Juris Doctorate. Worth loved living in beautiful places and Montpelier was surely one of those. He walked to work where he was an Administrative Law Judge for the Vermont Department of Labor.

Worth loved to travel, from climbing Mt. Kenya in Africa to scuba diving in Fiji. Worth was an athlete from a young age with basketball then track and cross country in high school and college. Worth loved the fine arts as well, he was thrilled to dress up for an opera, ballet, or theater. And he was just as happy living in a tent for two weeks on the side of a mountain.

Worth's love for animals knew no end and his cat, Aldo, was his very best companion and loyal friend. Be kind to animals and when you cuddle a cat, remember Worth.

Worth is survived by his loving parents Worth and Charlain Allen, sister Selwyn (Jason), nephew and nieces Colton, Layla and Stella Mae Wishnefsky. Worth was adored by his Aunt Terrie (John) Davis and a long list of cousins. Worth leaves dear friends in Montpelier, VT including his best friend, Sophie Ehrhardt.
