To the family of Thad Allen, my deepest condolences. I met Thad while shopping at Last Chance. He befriended myself, my brother and my mother. He always had the biggest smile and was one of the kindest people I have ever met. He was so very generous and took Jon (my brother) and myself to lunch a couple of times at Nordstrom’s where he had some perks through his level of spending, it was always good to catch up with him and share some laughs. I will miss his jovial laugh. Thank you for sharing him with us. May Thad fly with the angels and rest peacefully in paradise forever. Matt Staats

Thoughts and prayers to Thads family.  I worked with Thad at Robb and Stucky.  I loved working with him.  Thad was always kind, helpful.  He was also so funny!  Very kind man.  Rest in peace Thad.

I would like to offer my deepest condolences to my dear friend Darlene Lee and her family on the passing of her elder brother Thad.  I know that she will miss him dearly because they were really close and kept in touch quite often.  May God grant the family peace and healing during this difficult time.  


To Thad Allen entire family your St. Louis Allen family send our deepest Sympathy our father Zell Allen and uncle Earl Allen were brothers. The time we  spent with Thad  and the other family members from 
Arizona were the best memories of our lives.

Humbled and sadly Submitted by your Allen family in St. Louis.

I Doris Allen shared many many phone conversations with Thad over the years he was fun encouraging intelltavle caring and was truly in love with his entire Phoenix family, those that he was in contact with and those that he wasn’t.  Darlene and Steven may God for ever bless you and your families.
The love I have for Thad will forever be embedded in my heart and soul my love for him will never fade.
Thad I will always love you and cherish our many talks.
Love you always your cousin Doris Allen from St. Louis.

Thad I don't even know where to begin telling you how much I love you and how much I am going to miss you. I know you are better off being with Francis and the rest of the family. I know that because you are not in pain anymore. I'm sure going to miss our phone calls to each other. Sometimes we would talk for hours and then there were times we would just say how are you doing today. Either way you would say neice when you call and I would reply hey Thad or brother of mine. I could go on and on about you Thad. But I don't think I will because I told you and I showed you my love for you ever since I  have been knee high to a grasshopper. And I  know you have loved me all of your life.  Tell the family hello and I'm still holding everything down that's within my power.  Love you forever 💓 Denise. 

Steven , Ashlee  , Isaiah & Brynlee I hope you all can lean on each other during such a difficult time! I hope you receive comfort and peace from Jesus our Lord and Savior as without him these times impossible to get through. You are loved and thought of often Heaven gained 2 beautiful angels this year! 

Every time I saw him he was all ways kind and had the most beautiful smile on his face R.I.P 🙏🙏🙏

My prayers are with the family during these difficult times. I will miss Thad when I make my appearance in Phoenix. He was mentor for us women shopping at Last Chance.RIP Thad

I’m so sorry for your loss.  Thad was such a wonderful man with an infectious smile and laugh, I enjoyed visiting with him and sharing my children and grandchildren with him. He was a wonderful friend to my mom and for that alone I will be forever grateful. May his memory be eternal❤️

I have been his neighbor across the street for over 30 years and he has always been a very kind and warming gentleman. My Family and I always helped him with his yard. The last 3 years I have been decorating my parents house for Halloween and Christmas and he would come out and tell me how beautiful they where and how it set the tone for the holidays. He will ne deeply missed each time I pay a visit to my parents house.

Thad will be missed. I remember growing up with him across the street always had a great personality and a smile. I remember always going and helping him with his lawn and long time ago putting up Christmas lights on the house and how they all had to be facing the same direction.

Thad, I miss you so much already!! You were the best father in law ! I can honestly say you were one of my best friends. We have talked on the phone everyday for the last 15 years . Thank you so much for loving us 4 so much! Isaiah & Brynlee were your best little buddies.  You would always say whatever they want they get as long as I’m living. You truly were our Angel on earth. Now you are our Angel in heaven. It’s going to be quiet around here. I love you Thad!!! I will treasure all of the wonderful memories we have shared. 💙

My sincerest condolences,  Thad had an uplifting brightness to him that will always be remembered. Wishing you comfort, courage and praying for peace for your hearts.

Making the long plane ride to Canada to celebrate my 5th birthday; joining us in Missouri for my High School Graduation; comforting me over the phone as I served in the U.S. Navy; throughout my entire life you have always been there for me with unconditional love and support, and I know I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for you. You will always be one of the best men I've ever known, and you will always be in my heart.
With love forevermore, Michael.
