Kenneth Allsen

With deep anguish, we announce the untimely passing of Kenneth Lloyd Allsen, adventurous, generous soul, at the age of 46. Kenneth’s honorable journey was tragically cut short leaving family and friends to both mourn and celebrate his many accomplishments all too early.

Born on December 16, 1977, Kenneth was a soldier from the start. He pursued JROTC in high school and followed with two decades of combat military service as well as many civic leadership roles. He was an active, loving father, husband, son, brother, nephew, and friend with extensive community outreach and service. Friends and family remember Kenneth’s fearless, giving spirit who extended camaraderie and kindness with ease. He had a unique ability to read a room, discern one’s character, and connect with people, leaving a lasting impact on those who had the privilege of knowing him.

In addition to his extensive youth leadership, Kenneth was a decorated soldier surviving several active tours of duty in both The Army and National Guard. He earned accolades as a Mason and extended that experience by leading his children in DeMolay and Rainbow community service.

Kenneth is survived by his spouse, Lanora; his children, Blayne and his spouse, Megan, Kennedy and her spouse, Dalton, along with their mother Jessica Allsen; Lanora’s children. Brittanie, Katie, David (Bubby), his spouse Vicky and Clayton. They both love each other’s children as their own and came together as one family. He also leaves behind his grandchildren, Adelynne, Zeon, Leenah, Liyla, Zaden, Lecia, Michael, Maverick, and one more on the way that will carry his middle name; parents, Bruce and Vickie Allsen; siblings, Bryan Allsen, Britt and Shona Willis; brothers from another mother, Cory Becher, and Joe Goin; many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Kenneth is preceded in death by loving grandparents; aunts; uncles; military comrades and his mother, Lecia Knighten of Seminole.
