Scott Allen Obituary

Visit the McKenna-Ouellette Funeral Home website to view the full obituary.

Scott Joseph Allen, 64, of Lowell, MA, passed away peacefully on September 25, 2025, at Lowell General Hospital, surrounded by his loving children. Born on January 1, 1961, in Lowell, he was the beloved son of the late Joseph “Harry” and Rosanne (Wicks) Allen.

Scott grew up in Lowell, where he discovered a lifelong passion for sports. He played football, baseball and hockey throughout his youth and carried that love forward into adulthood. A proud graduate of Lowell High School, Class of 1979, Scott built a successful career as a Computer Network Sales Engineer.

His most cherished moments were spent coaching and encouraging young athletes. Scott dedicated countless hours to Pop Warner football, Babe Ruth baseball and YMCA basketball, where he helped foster both athletic skills and personal growth in the many children he mentored.

Scott was also a proud member of several social clubs in Lowell and Worcester. Most dear to him was the East End Club, where he served as vice president for many years and found lifelong friendship and camaraderie. He loved golfing, sharing laughs with friends and cheering on all of New England’s sports teams. For many years, he was a New England Patriots season ticket holder, enjoying games with close friends and creating memories that will be treasured forever.

Scott is survived by his children, Shawn Allen of Ayer, MA and his daughter, Brooke, Christian Allen and his wife, Amelia of Daphne, AL and their daughters, Charlotte and Juliet, Zachary Allen and his wife, Alana of Winthrop, MA and Cecilia Allen of Worcester, MA; his sisters, Sharon Doherty and Sherry Allen; as well as many nieces, nephews and close friends. He was predeceased by his siblings, Susan (Allen) Favreau and Steven Allen.

Relatives and friends are invited to Scott’s Life Celebration on Thursday, October 2, 2025 from 5 until 8 PM at the McKENNA-OUELLETTE FUNERAL HOME, 327 Hildreth Street, Lowell. Burial will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Scott’s memory to the Lowell YMCA or a local youth sports organization, reflecting his lifelong dedication to supporting young athletes.
