Leave a tribute for Allen Mace.
To the family, I’m so sorry I couldn’t attend the funeral, and so sorry for your loss. I knew Allen, and I know his wife Debbie. They’ve lived below my parent’s for years now. Allen was always really nice to me and just a really cool dude. Back in the mid to late 90’s I actually dated Allens step daughter Sabrina when she visited for the summer and played basketball with Sabrina’s brother Shane who sadly also passed away recently. A lot of great memories from back then that I’ll never forget !! I’m so sorry for the hurt your all going through with the loss of Allen and shortly after the loss of Shane. May they both R.I.P.
