Larry Joe Allen

12/27/1958 - 06/12/2026

Larry Joe Allen, 67, of Bowie, Texas, passed away peacefully on June 12, 2026, with his dad by his side.

A small graveside service will be held at Montague Cemetery on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

Larry was born on December 27, 1958 to Bill and Lahoma Allen. He spent his life in Montague County, where he grew up, attended school, and built memories with the people and places he loved.

Larry was a quiet man who loved simple pleasures. He was content with a good movie (always preferring a classic western to anything modern), a day at the lake with friends and classic rock playing on the radio, or a joy ride to Wichita Falls on his motorcycle.

His greatest source of pride was his son, Jeremiah. He reveled in all of Jeremiah’s accomplishments, and his pride in him spilled out of him. He became “Grandpa Larry” when Jeremiah’s children, Charlie and Lucy, came on the scene, and he settled naturally, lovingly and enthusiastically into that role.

He spoke often of his devoted dog, Brandy, a faithful companion who brought him comfort and happiness during her life and who was a permanent piece of his heart after her passing.

Larry is preceded in death by his mother Lahoma Allen.

He is survived by his father, Bill Allen; his sister, Cindy Bell; his brothers, Rusty Allen and Danny Buck; his son, Jeremiah Allen; his daughter-in-law, Lori Allen; and his grandchildren, Charlie Allen and Lucy Allen.

In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a donation in Larry’s memory may do so to Hospice of Wichita Falls at https://www.howf.org/donate/. The family is so very grateful for their grace, guidance and comfort over these past weeks.

Larry will be remembered for his love of family and friends, his gentle spirit, and the joy he found in small-town life and its unique adventures. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
