Mitchell Allen Obituary

Mitchell Allen
October 23, 1955 - February 3, 2023
Lancaster - Mitchell Allen passed away on February 3, 2023 after a battle with Cancer. Mitch was preceded in death by his parents Pat and Sheldon Allen of Santa Clarita California. Mitch was at home when he passed, surrounded by his wife Terry, and sons Brian and Daniel. Mitch will be missed by family and friends who knew and loved him. He is survived by his wife Terry, and sons Brian, and Daniel as well as his daughter-in-law Kim, and grandchildren Cierra, Reed, Donovan and Dean. His siblings, include Vince and Chris, and his sister Sharon. In addition his aunts and uncle and nephews and cousins on Mitch's side of the family, as well as dozens of extended family on Terry's side (Morrison).
Mitch was born in San Fernando ( third generation) on October 23, 1955. After a childhood there, he spent his teen years in Canyon Country. Mitch was of the fourth graduating class of Canyon High School, and spent a year at College of the Canyons. Mitch then took a job at Von's Supermarket and retired 43 years later in 2017. He loved and cherished his family and friends, and enjoyed snow skiing and sailing. Most of all he loved spending time with his grandkids. Mitch wished for everyone to always express empathy to those in need, and to retain our humanity towards one another, even if that is easier said than done.

Terry,
I was so shocked and sad to hear of Mitch´s passing. Something was telling me to read the SCV obituaries today....and I never usually do. I´m having a good cry now over his passing. Mitch was a great part of my teen years, always a good-natured clown with a huge heart and grew up to be a class act. I´m so happy he had you, a wonderful person by his side all of these years. Please know I am thinking of you and send my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Ruth Giarrusso Brock
