Marty Lee Allen, 66, of Blackshear, passed away Saturday afternoon, February 14, 2026, at Memorial Satilla Health in Waycross, following a sudden illness.
Born in Pikeville, KY February 3, 1960, he lived in Melbourne, FL for many years prior to moving to Pierce County in 2018. He was a 1978 graduate of Melbourne High School in Melbourne where he had excelled at baseball. He worked in construction as the superintendent for the J. Hiers Co. and not only worked very hard but loved what he did. He loved to be outdoors whether it was hunting or working in his yard. He was not only a good man, but a good provider for his family whom he loved dearly.
He was a son of the late Joel and Maxine “Gloria” Duval Allen. He was also preceded in death by a young brother, Kip Allen.
Survivors include his wife of 44 years, Elizabeth “Beth” Connor Allen, Blackshear; his daughter and son-in-law, Rebecca and Shayne Harris, Palm Bay, FL; his son and daughter-in-law, Josh and Candace Allen, Patterson; three brothers and sisters-in-law, Terry and Donna Allen, Palm Bay, David and Marie Allen of West Virginia and Shane and Karla Allen, W. Melbourne, FL; four grandchildren, Hunter Allen, Emersyn Harris, Beau Allen and Gray Harris; three brothers-in-law in Florida and several nieces, nephews, and other relatives.
