Max F. Allen

The angels took Max F. Allen home to the Lord on March 18, 2010 after suffering a long, faithful battle with severe COPD. He was born March 25, 1937 in Kalispell. He served his country in the U.S. Army and worked as an operating engineer in southern California for 18 years and three years on the Alaskan Pipeline.

Even though Max had to move away from his beloved Montana for work, his heart always stayed there. He enjoyed the great outdoors, fishing, hunting and loved living at Middle Thompson Lake.

Max and Isabelle Marty were married Aug. 19, 1965. They were blessed with two children, Marty Ann and Max Wayne. They were again blessed with granddaughter Natasha Ann who was adopted into the family as their daughter.

Max was known for his loving nature and compassion for the great Lord and devotion to Jesus Christ. Max was a kind person who sacrificed his own personal well being for others and never asked for anything in return. He had a quiet, witty way with humor which he used to pull tricks on all with much enjoyment.

Max was preceded in death by daughter, Marty Ann and his parents Frank and Nettie Allen. He is survived by wife of 45 years, Isabelle, Max Wayne and wife Tammy, their son Rance Vaughan, daughter Natasha Ann, brothers Gary and wife Angie, Ron and wife Marilyn, and Dennis. Also, several nieces and nephews who Max loved and prayed for.

Services for Max were held at St. Richard's Catholic Church. Rosary was Friday, May 21 and funeral services were Saturday, May 22.
