Allen's last days were spent surrounded by family and friends that he had touched in some small way throughout his short lived, yet very memorable life.Allen's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. His deep voice, contagious chuckle, child-like smile, spontaneous humor, and gentle spirit these past few weeks has brought so much joy to our family in creating new memories we will never forget.Allen graduated from Midland High School in Midland, Texas in 1971.
