Russell Kevin Allen went to be with the Lord on Sunday, May 2, 2021 at the age of 64. The son of Rose & William Allen, Russell was born on June 3, 1956 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. After graduating from Putnam City West High School, Russell began working. He was employed by General Motors for almost 30 years before going to work at the US Postal Service where he worked in the Maintenance Dept. for many years. A dedicated, hard-working and diligent task manager, Russell was no stranger to hard work. He took great pride in his work and loved going to his job daily always putting for his best efforts. Russell knew how to enjoy himself as well. He balanced his hard work with living his life to the fullest and sometime on the edges especially back in the day when he was riding his Harleys around. Russell also loved playing video games, going to play at the casinos and sandy beach vacations close to the ocean waters. He especially loved visiting the California coast line. He was also a loving and devoted father who cared for his family with all of his heart and never missed an opportunity to show them just how much they meant to him. He will be deeply missed each day but we will continue to let him live on through each of us in spirit daily.
