Teddy was a redhead whose fiery personality truly suited him. He had the gift of making friends with anyone and always found a way to make those around him smile. A talented athlete, he excelled in every sport he tried, from basketball and gymnastics to hockey.
Though he faced challenges from the day he was born, Teddy remained remarkably positive, always greeting others with a huge smile and ensuring they felt loved.
Teddy was raised by a devoted "village," including his father, Theodore Allen III; grandmothers, Joy Powell and Marilyn Allen; grandfather, Theodore Allen II; Yolanda Anderson; and his uncle George and aunt Sarah.
He deeply loved his sisters and his cousins. He and his cousin, Stephen Howe, spent much of their time together playing basketball, fishing, and grilling.
While his life was cut far too short—at a time when he looked forward to a family, a career, and his independence—his spirit remains. To honor Teddy’s memory, please share a smile and let others know they are loved.
