Hello, I just saw this, I remember Allen Hatch visiting our church Beacon Hill Baptist in Forney, Texas. I ran across one of his CDs in my collection he was such a good singer he reminded me of Elvis. He was so fun and full of life the last time I saw him was at a Valentine's Day banquet back in 2006 or 2007 we had a great evening with good fellowship, he singed love songs and had great preaching, he is singing in heaven now, GOD bless his family and his wonderful memories.

Wednesday, we lost a very Special and dear friend. A wonderful soul-winning man of God, loyal to his Lord, his family and his friends. He knew what Donny and I were going through and he was ALWAYS there to encourage and lift us up. We praise GOD for putting him and Tammie and his precious family in our lives. He was a PRAISING, PREACHING, SINGING preacher that could raise the roof on any building, and always bring Honor and GLORY to the Lord. His song"What a Beautiful Morning" seems so appropriate at this time. I know he's really walking with JESUS right now. Tammie, Brandon, Shonda,Glenda and family, our hearts and prayers are with you. We love y'all dearly and thank God for the wonderful friendship we've shared down through the years. May God bless you and wrap you in His loving arms and Carry you through this valley of tears, and heartaches. God is good all the time. We already miss him but he left us with many precious memories.

Allen was a very talented singer .... have his CDs ... met him when we first moved to Abilene in the 1981... kept up with him through his mom & dad in later years .. as we were members of Temple Baptist Church with them... last time I got to talk to Allen was at Carl’s funeral... it was so good to see him after years ... I didn’t get the opportunity to hear him preach ... but hopefully will be able to get a recording from Bible Baptist , his church ... prayers for all family members , church family , friends, fans ... Rest In Peace in our Lord ..
