David Earl Allen

David Earl Allen passed away on August 9, 2010 in his sleep at his home in 
Powell, Wyoming. Dave was born to James (Jim) and Mona Allen on June 16, 1955. 
Dave lived a very full life, even though it was too short. He attended Powell Schools and 
graduated from Powell High School. 
Dave married the love of his life, Laurie Dart, after high school although they later divorced.
He had worked various jobs over his career, ranging from farming, ranch work, oil rig work, 
lumber jack, construction, working with Powell Ready Mix for 17 years, mining reclamation 
and most recently for Heart Mountain Irrigation District running heavy equipment. Dave also 
purchased Coulter Mall from his mother and was very busy keeping it maintained. 
Dave was well known in the community and leaves behind many friends and acquaintances who fondly remember 
Dave as pursuing life with great entertainment and high energy. 
Dave loved the great outdoors and enjoyed skiing, camping, hunting, fishing, kayaking, 
riding horses in the back country, four-wheeling, and driving his Baja bug in remote and interesting places. 
He is survived by his mom and step-dad, Mona 
and Don Phay; sisters Sherry Funk of Carmichael, California, her daughters Darci (Duston) Carpenter, their children Kylie and Kannon, and Deena (Rich) 
Howerton, their son Mason; Jody (Chuck) Frazier, their children Shawn (Ben) Hubbard, their sons Caiden and Callum; Jason Frazier; and Kaela (Trevor) 
Nelson, their daughter Jordyn; and Tracy (Joe) Darrah, Tracy’s son Neal (Jordan) Simpson; and Dave’s extended families and friends.
