George William Allen

George William Allen, beloved by his family, died unexpectedly on September 19, 2023.

William was born on September 13, 1991 and lived most of his life in Seattle. He attended St. John the Evangelist School, Bishop Blanchet High School, Winterthur High School (Switzerland), McIntosh High School (Georgia), and graduated from Ingraham High School.

William had a joyful, warm-hearted spirit and infectious sense of humor. He was always ready for fun and shared a broad smile with all he met. His party specialty was making balloon animals, which endeared him to his daughter, nieces and nephews. William enjoyed participating in sports and outdoor activities of all kinds. He spent many happy vacations with his grandparents, family and extended family on the North Carolina coast and in Omaha, Nebraska. William always loved animals, especially the family dogs. He also enjoyed music, dancing and drawing.

Sadly, at a young age, William fell into the disease of addiction, which ultimately took his life. Despite his disease, William continued to express his great love for his family and friends.

William is missed by his daughter, Arabella Ann Allen and her mother, Tiana Ryan, his parents, Nancy and George Allen, his sisters, Sarah Gershon (Matt) and Susannah Crosier (Jeramiah), and his brother, Patrick Allen (Lauren), as well as by his nieces (Madelyn, Charlotte, Hazel), nephews (Sam, Xavier, Elijah, Henry), aunts, uncles, cousins and friends here and abroad.
