Obituary of Douglas Joseph Allen

Douglas Joseph Allen passed away on November 25, 2014 in Jacksonville, FL. Doug was born on June 24, 1986 in Brunswick, ME, to Thomas Allen, Jr. and Anne-Marie Allen. Doug was a wonderful, loving young man who made friends wherever he went and never understood the meaning of the word “Can’t.” He knew that with enough love, time and determination, he could accomplish anything and that is how he approached everything in his life-- Never letting anything stand in his way or stop him from reaching his dreams. It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye, knowing that Doug has gone on to Heaven where we will once again see him one day. Doug had a passion for motorcycle riding, snow skiing, scuba diving, the New England Patriots and FSU football, church service, travel, movies and video games.
