JELANEE S. ALLEN

and Marlene Lesperance-Allen in Bronx, New York.

Jelanee was a very active child with a love for basketball, music, cooking,

and his Haitian culture. These passions were engrained in him, and they

would follow him as he grew up. Many of his friends would say that one of

these topics came up in any conversation with Jelanee, affectionately

known as J or JJ.

Jelanee loved hard and was a protector. He made a career out of doing just

that as a Security Guard in both Connecticut and New York; however, his

true dream was to be a chef. There was not a meal that Jelanee could not

cook and cook well! Although he endured some difficulty in his short time

on earth, he accomplished much. Two of his greatest accomplishments

were his two children, Alani C. Allen and A’larick L. Horlman, whom he

loved very much.

After the birth of his first child, Jelanee accepted Jesus Christ as his

personal Lord and Savior and was baptized.

On December 26, 2022, the Lord called him home. He was preceded in

death by his Grandfather, Leonard B. Allen, Grandmothers, Shirley Temple

Allen and Rose Yvonne Lesperance, and his cousins, Akeem and Talisa.

Jelanee leaves behind to mourn his passing a multitude of family and

friends who loved and cherished him; especially his Daughter, Alani C.

Allen, his Son, A’larick L. Horlman, his loving Father, Clifford Allen, his

loving and supportive Mother, Marlene Lesperance-Allen, his Brother, Akil

C. Allen (Rediesha), his Sister, Imani F. Allen, his Grandfathers, Bernard

Lesperance (Rose) and Bartus Allen (Ernestine), two Nieces, and a host of

Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends.
