Douglas William Allen, 89, of Big Piney, died on Wednesday, April 22, fol- lowing a brief illness and hospitalization. He was predeceased by his dear wife, Jose- phine Ann Bradley, and is survived by his children; Michael, Karalee, Ronald, Paula and Angela; six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Doug was born Oct. 25, 1930, in Pleas- ant Grove, Utah. He learned to finish con- crete at an early age and spent his youth working with his father, which began his lifelong career in construction. A fateful job opportunity brought a young Doug to Big Piney, where he fell in love and married Joie Bradley.
Doug loved to take his family camping,
hunting, fishing and he especially loved
their boat. Doug was a hardworker, a good
husband, a great father, and rightfully earned the respect of everyone who knew him. He will be greatly missed.
A graveside service will be conducted in Big Piney, on Saturday, May 2, at 1 p.m. at the Plainview Cemetery. Social distancing protocol will be observed.
