Robert Lee Allen, beloved husband, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 26th, 2025, at his home in White Cloud, Michigan. Born on April 15th, 1961, in Pontiac, Michigan, Robert, affectionately known as Bobby, lived a life full of adventure and love.

A skilled contractor by profession, Bobby's work ethic and dedication were admired by many. Outside of work, he was an avid hunter and fisherman, spending countless hours enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. Camping trips with his cherished wife, Anne, and their beloved dogs were among his favorite pastimes.

Bobby is survived by his loving wife, Anne Allen; his siblings, Lynette M. Roberts, Ronnie (Kelly) J. Allen, Aimee (Wayne) M. Wolverton, Jami L. O'Bryant, and Joni (Justin) L. Harvey. He also leaves behind his brother-in-law, TJ O'Bryant, sister-in-law, Michelle Allen, and many nieces and nephews. His legacy is enriched by the numerous relationships and memories shared with family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Darwin M. Allen Sr. and Patricia Ann (Schudlich) Brewer, his brother, Darwin M. Allen Jr., and his sister, Louise A. Allen.

In keeping with Bobby's wishes, a celebration of his life will be held at the White Cloud Lion's Club on October 11, from 2pm-6pm where his family and friends will gather to honor his memory and the joy he brought to their lives. Arrangements have been entrusted to Crandell Funeral Home in White Cloud.
