IN LOVING MEMORY

Thomas “Tommy” Wayne Allen

Mar 13 1953 - Sep 25 2020

Thomas “Tommy” Wayne Allen of Wylie, Texas passed away on September 25, 2020 at the age of 67. He was born March 13, 1953 to Thomas Edward Allen and Vera Loyce Robinson in Delhi, Louisiana. Tommy was a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service close to 35 years.  

It is no secret that Tommy was a huge Texas Longhorn fan. In fact, it was rare to see him in anything other than burnt orange. There is only one thing Tommy cherished more than his Longhorns, and that was his family. Tommy firmly believed that you show your love through your actions rather than your words; often times he would work 50+ hours a week, yet always managed to have a meal cooked and never missed an event for his sons. It is without question that Tommy was the best father, friend, and confidant. But above all else, Tommy was a genuine, fun-loving, all around amazing man.  Tommy never knew a stranger, and he will be missed incredibly by many.  

Tommy is survived by his sons, Chris Allen and wife, Tara of Prosper, Texas and Tanner Allen of Wylie, Texas; Mother of his sons, Kay Allen of Calera, Oklahoma; daughters, Gina Martinez and husband, Richard of Garland, Texas and Mistee Allen of New York City, New York; 9 grandchildren; 4 great-grandchildren; brothers, Michael Allen and wife, Alicia of Allen, Texas and Ricky Allen and wife, Leslie of Richardson, Texas; sisters, Suzanne Cornett and husband, Garen of Crandall, Texas and Cathy Pendley and husband, Chad of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and his mother, Vera Allen of Allen, Texas. And of course his sidekick yorkie, “Izzee” AKA his baby, that went everywhere but work with him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas Edward Allen; nephew, Timothy Allen; great-niece, Ida Mae Chambers; Uncle Bob Allen; Uncle Bill and Aunt Jackie Foster and his beloved, Nanny and Papaw Robinson.
