Obituary
Ronald Lee Allen passed on the 28th of August 2024. It was sudden. He was born on October 22nd 1948. He left behind his daughter Aubrie, son Kiel, wife Linda, twin brother Rod and brother Dennis.
He was an awesome guy. He served his country in the Viet Nam war, and further served his community by becoming an engineer at Castlewood Fire Department, later becoming South Metro Fire Department. He was there for 25 years, and painted a mural at Station 32 on Orchard Rd in the 80’s. It is still there today.
He put him self through college, gaining a degree in art from Arapahoe Community College. He made amazing 3 dimensional wood cuts, stained glass art, paintings, pottery, and more.
He was the kind of man who could make something out of nothing. He could turn pieces of wood into play sets for his kids, art pieces, or a new room for his house.
In his later years, he enjoyed nothing more than getting up into the mountains and enjoying nature. He loved his spotting scope so he could see everything that nature had to display.
He is missed terribly by his family. It was too soon, Pop. It was just too soon and so sudden. We love you, Pop.
