Allen Wayne Lacey

Allen W. Lacy, 57, of Marana, AZ passed away unexpectedly on June 25th, 2024. Allen is survived by his wife Victoria, sisters Carol, Cheryl, and Dianne, brother Timmy, step-children Kyle, Kelby, and Talon, and many generations of cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Allen graduated from Marana High School, where he cultivated many lifelong friendships. His skills as a cook paired with his spirited attitude attributed to the rising fame of Tucson’s Li’l Abners’ Steak House, where he worked from the 1980s’ through the 2000s’.  Allen spent his life building a career as a commercial electrician. His greatest success was in his most recent work at the Silverbell mine; he was proud to be a part of the ASARCO team.

Win or lose, Allen was a diehard Buffalo Bills fan all of his life. He was an avid hunter and fisherman; always happy to come along for the adventure when anyone in the family drew a tag. He enjoyed watching old western movies, trips up to the White Mountains, and going for drives in his truck and side by side. Allen was a foodie. He lived for a good meal and anything spicy. He was an excellent cook and often brought the family together for barbeques, breakfasts, and pozole nights.

Allen was strong willed and stubborn at times, but he also had an enormous heart and sense of humor. He quickly made friends anywhere he went. Allen was known as the family prankster. If you’ve spent any time around him and his family you’ve probably heard some of the countless tales of his mischief. Known to his numerous nieces and nephews as ‘Uncle AL’, he will be remembered for all the heart he shared with his family and friends. He truly loved each person and was often described as the “glue” which kept the family together. He was generous, loyal, and always held a positive outlook.

A celebration of life will be held at a future date. As Allen prioritized finding joy in life, the family asks that you do the same - go out and do something that brings you joy and share it with those around you.
