Allen Wayne Jenkins, Jr., 66, passed away on August 28, 2024 in Shreveport, Louisiana after a short illness. He was preceded in death by his mother, Judith Carolyn Bentley Jenkins, and his father, Allen Wayne Jenkins.
Allen retired from the City of Bossier after his years of service as a water plant operator. During retirement, he was the “Mower Man,” repairing mowers and small lawn equipment. He loved fishing, old cars, dogs, and John Wayne movies. But his true passion was his family. He enjoyed every minute he spent during family dinners and holidays, where he would try to find little gifts for everyone. He was the source of much joy and will be terribly missed.
Allen is survived by his sister Vicki Dennis and husband Fred of Bossier City, brother Mike Jenkins of Anna, Texas, sister Evelyn Wiggins and husband Dave of Bossier City. He leaves to treasure his memory his nieces and nephews, Fred Dennis and wife Amie, Jason Dennis and wife Kristine, Carl Dennis and wife Taryn, Michael Dennis and wife Rebecca, Derek Jenkins, Lindsey Jenkins, Steven Scott and wife Laura, David Wiggins, Jr. and wife Kaitlin, and Taylor Wiggins and fiancé Austin Ross as well as their children. He was a beloved uncle and brother.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 3:00 pm on Saturday, August 31, 2024 at Hill Crest Memorial Funeral Home, 601 Hwy. 80 East, Haughton, Louisiana.
Honorary pallbearers will be his nephews Fred Dennis, Jason Dennis, Carl Dennis, Michael Dennis, Derek Jenkins, Steven Scott, David Wiggins, Jr., and Austin Ross.
