Allen graduated from Golden Plains High School, in Rexford, KS, in 1988. He attended Goodland Vo-Tech and completed the carpentry program.

He then started working for Frontier Ag and became the manager at the Rexford elevator. Allen enjoyed his work, maybe a little too much, and made several friends throughout the years. He also served as the Rexford Fire Chief. Allen was loyal, funny, honest, and would tell it like it is. He enjoyed tractors, guns, farming, dogs and spending time with his mom. He also liked spoiling his goddaughter, Amanda Cheney. He tolerated hugs from his relatives and his younger cousins called him “Uncle Alf”. Allen was a good man who was loved by many and will be greatly missed.
