On January 30, 2023, Bobby was unexpectedly taken from us due to a work accident. Bobby’s friends and family understood his “Old School” work ethic and desire to provide the best life he could for his family.
Bobby was born in Fort Riley, Kansas, and grew up in southern New Mexico. He was part of two blended families that adored him. Bobby was incredibly smart and gifted in sports. He was known to play baseball with his family and football in middle and high school. One of Bobby’s proudest moment was being selected as a freshman to be a starter on the varsity high school football team.
After high school, Bobby set out for Colorado to live with his dad and his family. It was there that Bobby met his soulmate, Kristen. He and Kristen loved to spend time with friends and family, traveling to new places. A few short years later Bobby’s world changed forever when they welcomed their daughter, Arya. Anyone that knew him would say that being a dad was completely natural to him. It was truly amazing to watch him be a husband and dad.
Bobby is preceded in death by his mom, Eva Mayme (Clark) Pannella, Uncles Bobby, David, and Eddie, and cousin, Little Eddie, and several grandparents/great grandparents.
Bobby is survived by his wife, Kristen Lancaster Allen, and his daughter, Arya Evalise Allen. He is also survived by his sisters, Nicki Leigh Clark and Sharla Holman, and his, dad Bud Allen. Bobby had an extensive extended family to include two sets of his blended families as well as his in-law family. Bobby was welcomed in the home of numerous friends through out New Mexico, Colorado, and now the Kansas City Area.
