Celebration of Life for Raymond Lawrence Allen

Raymond Lawrence Allen entered life on February 25, 1966, born to the late Gerald Warren Allen, Sr. and Jeanette Mandel Allen.

Ray lived most of his life on the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Reservation in Stillwater. He graduated from Churchill County High School in 1984.

He loved the outdoors—camping, fishing, hunting, and simply enjoying time in the mountains.

Ray was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and underwent a bone marrow transplant. With faith and a positive, upbeat attitude, his cancer went into remission. A couple of years later, however, a blood disorder developed and his platelet count began to drop.

Ray entered eternal life on July 7, 2025. He is survived by his mother, Jeanette Mandel Allen; sister, Rhonda Rae Allen; and children, Markus Allen, Lucretia Allen, and Tanner Allen.

He was preceded in death by his father, Gerald W. Allen, Sr.; sister, Shawna Smith; brother, Gerald “Rocky” Allen; paternal grandparents, Raymond and Nina Dixon Allen; and maternal grandparents, Lawrence Mandel and Ione Hicks Allen.

A celebration of life will be held at the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribal Gym on July 19, 2025. Viewing will begin at 10 a.m., followed by services at 11 a.m., with dinner to follow.
