Robert "Bobby" Nolan Allen

Robert Nolan Allen, 78, passed away peacefully on January 16, 2026, in Houston, Texas. Born on July 10, 1947, in Pasadena, Texas, Robert lived a life marked by devotion to family, generosity of spirit, and a deep love for the game of football.

Robert, “Bobby” was the beloved husband of Janis Baker Allen. Their marriage of 56 years stood as a testament to enduring love and partnership. Together they built a close-knit family that brought Bobby immense pride and joy.

He was a devoted father to Brandi Allen Sellers and her husband Christopher Gary Sellers, and to Tara Allen Stanislaus and her husband Jim Loren Stanislaus. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren: Lauren Sellers Collins and her husband Christopher Collins; Ryan Christopher Sellers; Mason Robert Stanislaus; and Matthew Braydon Stanislaus. Bobby also delighted in the presence of his great-granddaughter, Elaina Mae Collins.

Bobby is survived and remembered, by his sister Suzanne Britt. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Vallie Allen of DeBerry, Texas, and his brother Larry Joe Allen of Laporte, Texas.

A gifted athlete with a passion for football, Bobby played at South Houston High School before continuing his athletic career at Texas Tech University and was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles after college. His love for the sport remained with him throughout his life and was a source of camaraderie and joy.

Bobby was the founder and owner of AHI, Supply, LLC., a successful masonry supplier and manufacturer to the Texas construction industry. He was a smart businessman, who built the company with pride and dedication. He believed that success was rooted in hard work, leadership and taking care of both family and employees as one.

Those who knew Bobby will remember him as giving, caring, loving, family-oriented, and generous—a man whose warmth touched everyone around him. His presence brought comfort and strength to those he loved most.

A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
