In Loving Memory of My Son, Darius Allen
June 10, 2000 – September 20, 2026
It is with profound sadness and a broken heart that I announce the passing of my beloved son, Darius Allen, who left this world far too soon on September 20, 2026, at the age of 26.
Darius was a one-of-a-kind son, brother, and beloved member of our family whose presence brought immeasurable joy to everyone fortunate enough to know him. His life was filled with passion, strength, loyalty, and a love for the people and things that meant the most to him.
From the age of five, Darius found a love for football that remained with him throughout his life. He was a devoted Philadelphia Eagles and Philadelphia 76ers fan, proudly cheering on his teams whenever he could.
Music was another part of Darius’s soul. His true passion was making music, where he had a creative spirit and a desire to express himself through his art. He also found his strength and determination through mixed martial arts. Standing 6’5″, Darius thrived in the sport, embodying the discipline, courage, and perseverance that made him who he was.
Above all, Darius was a protector. To our family, he was someone they could look to, depend on, and feel safe with. He brought laughter, happiness, and countless unforgettable moments into our lives. The joy he gave us can never be replaced, and the space he leaves behind can never truly be filled.
Darius still had so much life to live, so many dreams to pursue, and so much love to give. Though his life was far too short, the impact he made will remain forever. His memory will live on in the music he created, the passions he pursued, the memories he gave his loved ones, and in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him.
Darius is survived by his loving parents, Stephen Allen and Jami Allen; his brothers, Devonntae Lampkins, Daylan Allen, and Dorian Allen; his sister, Raven Allen and two half-brothers Josh Houston and Ariel Houston. He also leaves behind extended family, friends, and loved ones who will forever cherish his memory.
Darius, you were deeply loved, fiercely protected by your family, and will never be forgotten. Your life mattered. Your presence mattered. Your love mattered. You will always be our protector, our son, our brother, and a part of our family that can never be replaced.
As your mother, I will carry you in my heart every day for the rest of my life. There will always be an empty place where you should be, but there will never be an empty place in my heart.
Until we meet again, my son, rest peacefully. We love you forever.
A Memorial Service for Darius will take place on Friday, October 2, 2026, at 6:30 PM at the Gospel Lighthouse Church, 933 LaSalle Street, Racine, WI.
Beautiful and heart-wrenching. Darius is now like an Eagle himself, his spirit soaring from life into worlds unknown. He left us a gift of love, then took his talents and courage with him to face what is next. He will be missed by all who loved him, and he will himself miss all he loved. He could not stay. But we always wished him happiness, and he would wish the same for all of us, no doubt – a kind wish from a young man with a good heart.
I Didn’t Know Him But, My Condolences To His Mom, His Dad, The Rest Of The Family.
My prescious grandson. He always was seeing about and taking care of the family! He had so much love in his heart for his family. He is wonderful and will be missed so much. He is with Jesus in heaven now praying for all of us. Never to be forgotten always in our hearts
Too……Soon….
By Aunt Sarah: Your Absence Leaves Me Damaged
When tragedy strikes we are continuously blindsided by an unexpected ambush. We are permanently affected by the pain, hurt, and loss that follows.
We keep our memories, we remember, we see you. We stare at pictures, relive your life, and wish wholeheartedly that the outcome would have differed. We honor who you were, as you were, the love that represents you, we recall how you made us laugh, made us cry, made us think, and gave us something to smile about. We see your beauty, inside and out. We reminisce on every shape, every crinkle, curl, gleam, conversation, and thought we ever had. You were so astonishing. With every low there was a mountain you climbed, with every fall there was the rise of an eagle. Just know that with every tear and every pain, you remain alive in my heart..in my soul…in my memory.
Sometimes words are too much, and sometimes they are not enough…….. your absence leaves me damaged….
