Allen was my student in 9th grade English at JMB and my administrator at Wi Hi for two years. I was so proud of him for all he had accomplished and always appreciated his advice and understanding, especially when my students needed his wisdom and guidance. I am so sorry for the unbearable loss that his family is experiencing; my thoughts and prayers are with them.

Allen, as I knew him, was a student in my 9th grade English class at JMB and my administrator at Wi Hi for two years. I am shocked and saddened to hear of his passing at such a young age. Allen was an exceptional person who always made time for me and my students whenever a minor or major crisis arose. He was always positive and encouraging, regardless of the circumstances. I cannot begin to imagine the grief that his family is experiencing. Hopefully they will draw strength from knowing that Allen was loved and appreciated by so many people.
