Dennis D. Allen age 69, of Gowen, passed away Wednesday, August 21, 2024 at home. He was born December 19, 1954 in Mecosta, the son of Floyd & Myrtle (Russ) Allen. He retired from Electrolux as a truck driver, hauled pulp wood with his dad in his younger days, enjoyed driving big trucks, puttering on his tractor and spending time with his grandsons.

He was preceded in death by his parents, inlaws and his son Joshua Allen. There will be a Celebration of His Life 2 to 5 PM September 15, 2024 at the Trufant DBS Hall/Community Center.
