Dylan Thomas Allen

February 13th, 1996 – December 8th, 2025

Dylan T. Allen entered the arms of Jesus on Monday, December 8th, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of extraordinary love, faith, and kindness. He was the beloved husband of Kathryn (Kate) Allen, with whom he shared a deeply devoted and joy-filled marriage. Their love was a reflection of God’s grace—gentle, steadfast, powerful, and full of light.

Born to parents who prayed faithfully for his life, Dylan grew into a man whose heart blessed every person he encountered. He was known for his sincerity, his strength, and the way he made others feel deeply valued. His love for Jesus shaped every part of who he was, and he carried that love into his marriage, his family, his friendships, and his work.

Dylan was also deeply proud of his time at West Point, where he attended and embraced the values of character, honor, and service. His admiration for his alma mater reflected the courage, discipline, and integrity that marked his life.

Dylan loved life and adventure. He had a passion for woodworking, running, biking, hiking, hunting, canoeing, and all activities that allowed him to explore the world and embrace every moment. He cherished time outdoors, finding joy in nature.

Dylan is lovingly remembered by his beautiful wife, Kathryn (Kate) Allen, his parents, Robert and Christine Allen, and his siblings, Walker and Casey Allen. He is also cherished by Kate’s family: her five siblings, Elizabeth Carrara Greenbaum and husband Evan, Aiden Carrara and wife Meg and their daughter Charlotte, and William, Matthew, and Charlie Carrara, as well as her parents, Glenn and Carolyn Carrara.

His strong spirit, warm smile, and unwavering devotion will be forever remembered. The impact of Dylan’s life is immeasurable, and his love continues to shine through his loved ones and all who were blessed to know him. We rejoice in knowing he is now in paradise with his Savior, Jesus Christ, and we honor his memory by choosing love, gratitude, and light each day.

Dylan’s memory lives on in the hearts of his devoted wife, his parents, siblings, extended family, and many cherished friends.

May his legacy of faith and love continue to guide us until we are reunited again.
