“For his life to end this way, it’s so gut-wrenching and very difficult to process him no longer being with us,” said his dad.

“The funeral home notified us that they would not be able to set up any arrangements until a payment has been made.”

On behalf of the Allen family, a GoFundMe was created, and in just its first day, almost $2,000 was raised. You can find it right here.
