Charles Earl

Allen

Charles Earl Allen was born on July 5, 1962, in Eufula, Alabama to Annie Allen.  He accepted Christ at an early age.  As an adult, Charles relocated to the Chipley area where he attended House of Prayer Worship Center in Chipley.  Charles did lawn maintenance and would help anyone in any way that he could.  He always had an extended arm for Mother Betty McKinnie getting in and out her vehicle and helping her into her house.

He traveled regularly with Debra McGhee and his godson Dominic and assisted with the "heavy lifting" no matter where they went or what they were doing.  Charles spent many hours fellowshipping with George McGhee, III while George worked on his cars or just enjoying those that were visiting their home.

The light of his life was his Godson Dominic McGhee, who he affectionally called "The Boy."  He supported and encouraged him at his sporting events, musical performances and school activities.  As his health declined, he expressed his concerns about helping his Godson attend college and wanted the best for him.

Charles was a biblical scholar and regularly held extensive conversations about scripture.  He loved talking about the Word of God.  He never met a stranger, greeted you with a smile, was always willing to lend a helping hand and will be missed my all that were blessed to have known him.

Charles is survived by his mother: Annie Allen; his siblings of Samson, Alabama; his family: Dominic "The Boy" McGhee (Godson), Debra McGhee, George McGhee, Shavetta Snell McGhee, Betty McKinnie (grandmother), Alfred & Juanita Finney, Theresa Malloy, Alvin McKinnie, Pastor Anthony & Theresa McKinnie, George A.
