Born Friday, July 12, 1946 in Cookeville, Tennessee, he was the son of the late Charlie Allen and the late Mary Mabry Allen. He was the loving husband of Helen Farris Allen for 58 blessed years.

Rellon and Hazel were married at the Algood Church of Christ and were members of that congregation. He loved the Lord, his God.
