David Richard Allen
David Richard Allen was born on March 10, 1950 and left to be with Jesus on December 12, 2022. He joined his parents, Vilores and Charles Allen there. He leaves his wife, Darlene Allen and children, Christopher and Steven Allen, and stepchildren, Greg Fenlon, Todd Fenlon, Guy Fenlon and Jill Johnson.
David was just a man:
A man who sacrificially took many menial jobs to support his family during hard times.
A man who taught people how to take care of their health and often ministered to their spiritual needs when he owned a health food store for 19 years in Belvidere. He continued afterward with the same care and concern with an online business.
A man who greatly loved his wife and supported her by performing numerous household tasks and technical assistance during her teaching career.
A man, who as a father taught his sons and stepsons how to fix and build things and treat people with respect.
A man who dearly loved his parents and always listened and spoke to them often.
A man who always put the needs of others before his own. Yes, David was just a man. But an honorable man who loved God and whom this world is not worthy.
