George Stephens Allen III

He was born in Gainesville, Georgia, June 29, 1937. Steve graduated from Stanton Military Academy and received an associate degree from Atlanta Business College. He was married to Carol Vignec on October 18, 1975.

Steve had a career as a sales representative traveling throughout the US for multiple companies including Luxottica Optical Group. Steve’s career in sales was a natural fit as he knew business was built on trust and relationships. He knew how to listen, anticipate needs and put the client first. Consequently he was always a top salesman nationally.

He was a member of Seniors on a Mission, International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and the Beaches Chapel Prison Ministry. Steve had a passion for the prison ministry at Lawtey, Florida, starting in 2003 and experienced the joy of seeing several of his mentees being released from prison and living their lives as productive citizens.

Steve was a wonderful example to his family. He is survived by his children, Lisa Barnette Moore, Suzanne McCombs and Michael J. Allen and his grandchildren, Austin Barnette, Cadin and Kylin McCombs. He is also survived by his brothers, Charles and Horace Allen.
