Steven Kent Allen, beloved husband and father, died on January 29, 2022, surrounded by his family, in South Daytona, FL.

A leap year baby and a twin, Steve was born in Indianapolis, Indiana to parents William and Barbara Allen. Steve enlisted in the Air Force at 18 years old and is a veteran of the Vietnam War. He went on to achieve the rank of chief master sergeant, the highest rank for enlisted members.  During his 30 year military career, Steve had the opportunity to live all over the world, including Japan, Germany, and Holland.

Steve received his undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland and Masters in Business Administration from St. Martin's College.
