JAMES ALLEN
James Michael Allen, 62, of Eleanor, passed away on July 4, 2022 in Huntington.
James was born to Travis and Arlene Allen in Gassaway on August 24, 1959. He played many roles as son, brother, father, grandfather, and friend. At work he went by many titles but everyone knew him as Peewee. He was employed in the chemical plans all over the state of West Virginia where he picked up friends who became family. He was an avid hunter and outdoorsman. He loved playing music with the guys and cutting up and joking around just to get a laugh out of everyone he could. His extra time was spent sitting at home with his beloved girlfriend and his fur babies. He passed on wisdom to his grandbabies and the lives he touched.
He was preceded in death by father, Travis Sylvester Allen, maternal grandparents, Burke and Levada Mae Waggoner Pierson; paternal grandparents, Wilford Witt and Margaret Ann Monaghan Allen. Along with several aunts and uncles and other family members.
James is survived by his mother, Arlene Pierson Allen; children, Herbert Allen, Cassandra Vance, and Brandy Allen Turley (Matthew); nine grandchildren, Andrew, Isabella, Wyatt, Jordan, Mindy, Elizabeth, Preston, Carolyn, and Cory James; siblings, Charlene Jenkins (Jimmy), Connie Griffith (Cliff), and Marlond Allen (Melissa); uncle, William Pierson; his girlfriend, Debbie Elswick and her three children; his first wife, Wanda Starcher; as well as several nieces and nephews.
