Allen was born on May 19, 1949, in San Jose California to Imagene

Screaming Eagles Airborne Division, serving in the US Air Force. He owned
American Private Investigator and worked as a Private Investigator 20 plus
years. He was a professional horseman, bull rider and farrier. He loved hunting
and fishing in Tahoe Bason, California with his buddies, and one time he "accidently"
ended up in Oregon.
Allen was a friend to all and could always regale you with a
story. He led an amazing life, full of adventures. There was not a challenge that
he wouldn't accept, he loved his family fiercely and was loved and respected by
many. He had special connection with children of all ages, in his 70's, he
challenged one little girl to a hopscotch contest and lost. He was the most
generous person you would ever meet.
Allen is survived by his wife, Linda of Greenville; son, Tim
Pendergraft and wife, Melissa; adopted daughter, Jennifer McKague; aunt, Janet
Foreman; cousins, Rocky Foreman and Jerry Foreman.
Allen is preceded in death by his mother.
