John Allen, Houston, TX — The community is mourning the loss of John Allen, affectionately known as Papa John, who passed away unexpectedly sometime between the night of Friday, July 19, 2024, and the morning of Saturday, July 20, 2024. John was a Vietnam army veteran, known for his loving and kind soul, and his willingness to help anyone in need.
John’s granddaughter, Cheyene Owens, has organized a fundraiser to support his military funeral. The fundraiser, titled "Honor Papa John: Support His Military Funeral," aims to raise $5,000 to cover the costs of his funeral and memorial service. Cheyene hopes to give him a proper military burial and incorporate elements that reflect his love for motorcycles and Harley Davidson.
The family plans to hold the service in a military cemetery in Houston, TX, within a couple of weeks, on a Friday. The ceremony is expected to last about 20 minutes. John was known for his generosity and would give the shirt off his back to help others, but now his family finds themselves in need of financial support for his funeral expenses. John’s son, Samuel Owens, is struggling to cover the unexpected costs due to his own financial difficulties.
Cheyene expressed her deep gratitude for any donations, no matter the amount, and mentioned that there are alternative ways to contribute directly to the funeral home if preferred. The community’s support and generosity are highly appreciated during this difficult time.
