JAZ, AJ AND FAMILY

Allan, I was scrolling... how I be scrolling and saw your memorial. I stopped scrolling, I started thinking. Thinking about my own mortality. Thinking about our conversations. How much you loved being a husband and Dad. Conversations about Cam, about being a man in your family. This was 14-15 yrs ago? I was just beginning to think as a man. You were a great influence, I wish we had stayed in closer contact. I am so sorry 😞 to hear of your passing. The World is a bit darker with your absence. I pray you a peaceful journey. Be blessed Allan, till we meet again Playboy. ~Mike

You were unmatched, Allan, simply unmatched. God Bless You, Sir. I'm truly heartbroken for your blood Fam and your Brat Fam. Rest peacefully as God knows you deserve it.

Sherri Gaillard Jenkins

Allan,

You are one in a million sir. No matter what was thrown at you, you always were you, a class act. You never changed who you were to the people around you. You would give the world your last.

You were always the example to what being a Brat means. No one was ever a stranger to you and that's one of the things that I'll remember the most.

Thank you for the laughs, the aggravating way you wouldn't listen to reason 😂, the sweetness, the hugs, and without a doubt the love you gave to us over the years. Keep smiling that beautiful smile and keep watch over us all. You get to dance with my #BooCrew4Life DJ EZG forever.

😘😘😘

Regina "Boss Lady" Tatum

Allan, I can't believe we've lost your beautiful light. You were always trying to bring us all back together, trying to recreate the diversity we grew up with. Love and miss you, brother. Carmela

Carmela

Allan, The torchbearer of all things BRAT! First, my sincere condolences to your family. They are lovely and I'm glad I met them in Atlanta so many years ago. You brought so many together. While we are all loyal to our own schools, you celebrated that and brought us all together under the BRAT umbrella. I can't count the number of times you reached out to me to invite me to events or to meet up when I was in Columbia. You sir, were a stranger to none and in fact, celebrated each and every one of us. Your legacy for the BRAT nation is impressive. You sincerely wanted this brother/sisterhood to remain intact and you grew friendships among all of us that crossed our respective schools. You had a talent. You were humble, proud and loyal. You are missed Allan. You touched many lives including mine. I am honored to have met you and consider you a friend. You cared for so many of us and made us feel special and included. Thank you my friend. Rest peacefully. Auf wiedersehen. Mel HHS c/o '90
