Thomas Fulton Allen Jr., (Tommy) lived his dash 1932-2024 to the fullest for 92 Years.
The line between the day we’re born and the day we leave this earth.
In that little dash is a lifetime of laughter, love and tears.
Tommy was born in Kosciusko, Mississippi, and moved to Port Arthur, TX at a young age. He built a home in Bridge City, TX where he lived with his wife Joycelynn Allen, and three daughters, Susan Rhodes, Ruth Lawless and Lori Dickman. He was living in the Toledo Bend area of Fairmount when he passed November 20th 2024.
He was a devoted and loving husband to his wife Joycelynn Allen for 61 Years.
He was the cherished Pawpaw of his grandchildren Trisha, Tamara, Nicole, Teesha, Kimberly, Candace, Cory, Callie, Cassie, and also was a proud Pawpaw of 12 great grandchildren, and 6 great-great grandchildren. He also loved all of his son-in-law’s and great son-in laws.
After his graduation from Thomas Jefferson High School in Port Arthur, TX in 1951, he was drafted into the Army and served our cherished country in the Korean War.
Tommy worked most of his life at Jefferson Chemical Refinery as a dedicated machinist. Aside from his career, he was a master gardener and took pride in his yard with all of the beautiful Oak trees he planted.
He was an honest and generous man. He once said in his 92 years he never hated a single human being his entire life. That says a lot about the soul of a person.
Tommy experienced a life rich in experience and fulfillment from beginning to end and touched the lives of many people along the way.
His celebration of life will be determined at a later date.
