Bio: Allen was a 1994 graduate of Silliman Institute and also Louisiana State University P.O.S.T. Acadamy where he became a Certified Peace Officer on March 6, 1998.
He had attended Louisiana Tech in Ruston, LA and was planning to attend Southeastern Louisiana University to enter the field of criminal justice. He was also planning to become a member of the Fraternal Order of Police.
Allen was a tall young man with a special smile and a one of a kind personality. Allen was always there whenever he was needed to perform any type of duties or whenever someone needed a friend. He was always a polite and courteous person.
For example, on the night of Allen's wake a man had came to the funeral home with a sympathy card. When the man was asked how he knew Allen, he stated that he had only met Allen once when Allen had issued him a ticket a few months before. The man stated Allen was a nice young man and he wanted to express his sympathy to his family.
Allen was always very supportive and encouraging, no matter what the situation. If anyone needed anything, no matter what it was Allen was always there to give it. He would give you his last dime if you needed it. Allen was the type of person that was easy to love and hard to dislike. If someone happened to get irritated or upset with him, all he had to do is smile that special smile and everything was alright. Beyond his devotion to duty his dismeanor with the public was exceptional. Regardless of the situation, he was always polite to the public, answer ring "yes sir, no sir" "yes ma'am" no matter the age of the person he was responding to. Even when it was requested that he not call someone sir or ma'am, a lifetime of politeness would not allow for it. Although young in years, he was greatly respected by everyone who came in contact with him.
Allen was also a volunteer fireman for the Slaughter and Ethel Fire Dept for 18 months. |
