Melvin enjoyed spending time entertaining family and friends. He loved talking “stuff” and no one was safe from his banter. Having barbeques during the summer months were his passion. His grandchildren held a special place in his heart, and they will truly miss their papa.

King; grandchildren, Serena, Elijah, Corvalis, Caydence, Autumn, Kingston and Kashton; two sisters, Lucy (Michael) Mims and Lisa (Anthony) Kennedy; brother, Mark Allen; several nieces, nephews and a host of family and friends. He was preceded in death by mother, Yvonne G. Allen; and brother, Eugene "Geno" Allen.
