Outside of work and community service, Allen’s hobbies reflected his zest for life. He enjoyed beekeeping, woodworking, and spending time in nature through camping, hunting, and fishing. Allen was passionate about his country and his support of Donald Trump. He also cherished the companionship of his beloved dog, Jack.

His legacy will live on through the cherished memories he created with each of them.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Frances Furr Hartsell, father, Carl Edward Hartsell, and his wife, Kathy Hartsell. Though he is deeply missed, his spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
