Michael was named Honorary Mayor of the Mildred Community, a role that he thoroughly embraced and enjoyed.
Preceded in death by father, Willie Allen, and sister, Brenda Totten.

Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
My deepest sympathy and may the PEACE of GOD that surpasses all understanding the bring comfort to each of you now and forever. Treasure the memories of your Love Ones in your Hearts 💕 forevermore. Continual prayers for the days, months and years to come.

I worked around and with Michael at Bellsouth for many years and he always made the job a little more bearable and fun. I use to laugh when McBath would rag him, but Michael would take it in stride and stay at “arm’s length” from Big Lennie. After not seeing him for a number of years, I bumped in to him at the Walmart last Christmas season after hearing that unmistakable laugh in the next aisle. After catching up, I gave him my brother Rick’s #, who use to work with him in the DLC crew. He was truly one of a kind who will never be forgotten and will always bring a smile to anyone who knew him. Boo, & family, so very sorry for your loss and Godspeed my old friend.
