CASA BLANCA — Jack Kirby Allen, 64, of Casa Blanca died on Jan. 21, 2023.
Mr. Allen was a son of Ralston and Rosalie Allen, born on May 5, 1958, in Sacaton. He was a lifelong resident of District 5 on the Gila River Indian Community. His life was one of service. As a young adult, he volunteered with the Gila River Police Department and Fire Department. His 25-year Gila River career began with the security department at Lone Butte Industrial Park.
As he advanced in his career and became part of the office staff, he dressed with an eye for style. He was passionate about heavy metal music and was a season ticket holder for the Arizona Cardinals. People knew not to call or visit him on a Sunday when the Cards were playing. He enjoyed road trips around the Southwest in his Chevy truck, and while at home he read political thrillers and spy novels.
Preceded in death by his parents and older brother Harlan Allen, he is survived by a sister, Carol Chunvichit of Fairfax, Virginia; a brother, William Allen of Casa Grande; and several nieces and nephews.
Graveside service at 9 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 27, in Vah-Ki Cemetery.
J. Warren Funeral Services, Cole & Maud Coolidge Chapel in charge of arrangements.
