He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Virginia Allen and Lee Smith.
Craig is survived by his wife, Amber Allen; daughter, Laney Allen; parents, Dennis and Leah Allen; grandmother, Elaine Smith; grandfather, Robert Allen; sister, Lauren Allen Germany; brothers, Lee Allen and Blake Allen; and 8 nieces and nephews.
Craig was a loving husband, father, son, and brother. He was courageous beyond measure & tackled every challenge set before him with intensity and integrity. Everyone who knew and met him immediately saw his passion for life and those he loved. Craig loved “his girls” with all of his heart and not a day went by that he didn’t express it. His mark on this world is very deep, and we are all better for having had him in our lives.
Family will receive friends on Sunday, Dec 22nd from 5pm-7pm and services will be held on Monday, Dec 23rd at 12pm, both at Faith Baptist Church, 3755 N. Germantown Rd., Bartlett, TN.
Craig was passionate about running and the St Jude Marathon always held a special place in his heart. The family asks that memorial donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
