November 5, 1954 ~ May 16, 2026

It is with heavy hearts, and deep love, that we announce the passing of Cecil Allen on May 16, 2026, at the age of 71 years.

Born on November 5, 1954, Cecil lived a life rooted in family, friendship, laughter, and the outdoors. He was the kind of man whose stories could captivate a room, whose laugh was contagious, and whose smile grew widest when surrounded by the people he loved most. Whether gathered around a campfire, out on the lake, in the bush hunting, quadding down a back road, or road-tripping with his wife, Vivian, Cecil had a way of turning ordinary moments into unforgettable memories, always ready with a good-natured tease, and another story to tell long after the fire burned low.

Above all else, Cecil was devoted to his family. He will be forever loved and deeply missed by his beloved wife, Vivian; his daughter, Tracie; his son, Brad (Kelli); and his cherished granddaughters, Morgan, Grace, Zoe, and Dacie, who brought endless pride and joy to his life.

He is also lovingly remembered by his siblings, Delee (Claude), Debbie, Roy, and George (Wanda); along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and many lifelong friends whose lives were made brighter by knowing him.

Cecil was predeceased by his parents, Cecil Sr. and Phyllis Allen, and by his sister, Jaline.

Though his voice may be quiet now, the stories, laughter, lessons, and love Cecil shared will continue to echo around campfires, family tables, and hearts for generations to come.
