Richard Allen

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Richard Allen, a cherished father, grandfather, and friend, who left us peacefully in his sleep on July 25, 2026. Born on November 15, 1954, in the vibrant town of Santa Rosa, California, Richard, known affectionately as Rick, lived a life filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Rick was the beloved son of Sara Allen and Rick Allen Sr., and he carried their spirited legacy throughout his life. His journey was marked by a deep-seated love for family and friends, and his presence was a source of joy and warmth to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Rick's life was a testament to dedication and loyalty. For fifty years, he worked diligently in a career he was passionate about, forming meaningful connections with colleagues and friends alike. His commitment to his profession was only rivaled by his devotion to his family, whom he cherished above all else. Rick's zest for life was evident in his love for fishing and his passion for sports. He found immense joy in spending time with his family, particularly delighting in watching sports with his beloved grandchildren, Skyler Tiller and Dakata Tiller. Whether it was tennis, football, or golf, Rick's enthusiasm was infectious, and his playful antics made him not only a fun-loving father but also a beloved grandpa. Rick's children, Alicia Tiller and Erick L. Allen, will forever hold dear the memories of a father who lived life one day at a time, embracing each moment with laughter and love. His grandchildren, Skyler and Dakata, will always remember their grandpa's kind heart and the joy he brought into their lives. In honoring Rick's wishes, a private ceremony will be held to celebrate his life and bid him farewell. The family kindly requests that any donations in Rick's memory be made to a charity or organization of personal choice, reflecting the spirit of giving and care that Rick embodied throughout his life. As we say goodbye to Richard Allen, we celebrate a life well-lived, a legacy of love and joy, and a man whose memory will remain forever in our hearts.
