Allen Balk OBITUARY

Allen Balk, devoted husband, loving father, son, brother, uncle, and friend, suddenly passed away on September 25, 2026. Allen lived his life with devotion to his family, pride in his heritage, and satisfaction from a job well done. Whether he was restoring a car, tackling a home improvement project, or simply spending time with the people he loved, Allen brought passion, determination, and an unmistakable personality to everything.

Above all, Allen was a devoted family man. He shared his life with his beloved wife, Lori, and was immensely proud of their daughter, Dana. Watching Dana build a life of her own with her husband, Carter, brought Allen great happiness and pride. His family was at the center of his life, and his love for them could be seen in the countless ways he supported, helped, and cared for them over the years. Allen was also a loving and devoted son to his mother, Philomena, and brother to his recently departed sister, Rosie. Their bond was built over a lifetime of love, shared memories, and family. Allen’s loss has left an immeasurable absence. Allen is survived by his wife, Lori; his daughter, Dana, and her husband, Carter; his mother, Philomena; his sister, Joanne; his nephew, Aidan; and many loving cousins, extended family members, and friends.
