Daniel Allen Obituary

Daniel Gregory Allen, 56 years old, of Wasilla, Alaska passed away unexpectedly on September 28, 2025. Dan was born in Oden, Michigan on November 7, 1968. He was the fourth of seven children. He was preceded in death by his father David C. Allen Sr. He is survived by his mother, Catherine E. Allen, and siblings; Angela Ramirez, Elizabeth Lycan (John), David Allen Jr., Abraham Allen, Emma Markley (Jason), and Joseph Allen (Aurora), and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He spent his childhood years in Michigan. The family relocated in October 1983 to Wasilla, Alaska. Dan graduated from Wasilla High School in 1986.
Dan was a man of faith. He dedicated his life in baptism to Jehovah God on November 8, 1986. He was involved in full time ministry serving at the world headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses from July 1991 to August 1993. While there, he used his skills in the cabinetry shop and maintenance department. He worked wherever he could find employment as a carpenter's helper, professional driver for various companies, furniture mover, and at Carr's Grocery store. Even though Dan's circumstances in life would change often, his love for Jehovah remained strong, as he was loyally ministering the good news of the Bible right up to the day before he passed.
Dan will be remembered for his love of God's creations, spending time with family and friends, telling jokes, football, cars, hiking, fishing, hunting ptarmigan, and Dall sheep, and eating Amish whoopie pies. He had a passion for traveling the world. In his younger years he backpacked through Europe and loved to share stories of his adventures. In later years, he made many trips to Denali Park. Seeing God's wonders brought joy to his heart.
A memorial service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at 3:00 p.m.
