Kenneth "Brad" Bradley Allen

Brad was born on February 9, 1976, in Paris, Texas, to Kenneth Harold Allen and Ruth Ann Allen. He was raised in the Milton community near Deport, Texas, where he formed lifelong friendships and cherished memories. At the time of his passing, Brad resided in Dallas, Texas where he worked as an IT consultant.

Brad was a graduate of Prairiland High School. He continued his education at Paris Junior College and Texas A&M University–Commerce. Dedicated to lifelong learning, he also completed the LVN Nursing program at Kiamichi Tech and earned certifications in computer programming and computer repair.

Brad was preceded in death by his father, Kenneth Harold Allen; his paternal grandparents, Kenneth M. and Jessie Lee Allen of Deport, Texas; and his maternal grandparents, Mack and Mammie Kennedy of Bogata, Texas.

He is survived by his mother, Ruth Ann Allen of Paris, Texas; his sister, Kim Allen of Converse, Texas; his sister, Kenda Wheeler, and her husband Ricky of Faught, Texas; his nephews, Jake Blackburn, Tristan Wheeler and his wife Michaela, and Trenton Wheeler; his niece, Savannah Rea, and her husband Jacob; his great-nieces, Sadie and Parker Rea; a great-nephew, Jace Wheeler; and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, extended family members, and friends.

Brad will be remembered for his love of technology and for his two cats. He was also a registered organ donor, so his final selfless act will hopefully help others in need. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a local ASPCA or aspca.org.

Memorial services are scheduled for 11:00 Tuesday, July 7th at Bright-Holland Funeral Home with Rev. Tim Brown officiating. The family will receive friends at the funeral home one hour prior to the service.
