WE LOST OUR ANGEL TODAY – CONNOR ROBERT ALLEN

APRIL 13,2010 – JANUARY 2, 2019 

Our family suffered a tremendous tragedy and loss on January 2, 2019 when a freak accident took the life of our grandson, Connor Robert Allen.  Connor is the son of Robert E. Allen of Palm Coast, FL.

Connor had a smile that could light up a room, a wonderful sense of humor, and a zest for life.  Our lives will never be the same again since his death, but he will remain in our hearts forever.

Connor was the kindest, sweetest child a family could ask for.  Always polite, loved by his school mates at Belle Terre Elementary School, in Palm Coast Florida.  He lived life to the fullest and enjoyed everything from driving a go-cart, riding on a dirt bike, which he was to get from a friend if he made all A’s on his next report card.  He was working so hard on getting all A’s and we were all so proud of him.   He enjoyed fishing, going to NASCAR races.  Last year at the NHRA (National Hotrod Association) / Gator Nationals in Gainesville, FL he had his helmet signed by both Tony Schumacher, an AA fuel dragster U.S. Army Team racer, and Eric Latino, who drives a pro-mod car from Canada.  They both noted that he would be a natural driver as he so loved the sport so much.

Connor spent a lot of time with us and enjoyed driving in his grandfather’s pro-street Dodge Daytona car and his Chrysler Daytona Shelby Z.  He also loved our 1990 Ford F350 4x4.  On his last day, he and his grandfather, Roland, spent the day together doing errands, going to McDonald’s and hanging out in grandpa’s workshop.  Just before 5:00 pm he asked to go for a ride in one of grandpa’s cars.  I watched from my front door as they drove out the driveway and I waved to them, and Connor had just a big smile on his face as he waved back.  I will always remember that beautiful smile.  A few minutes later they returned and I watched the car drive into the shop/garage.  Something awful happened.  Connor was out of the vehicle and standing alongside of the car.

While driving the car into the garage, the throttle control malfunctioned and thrusted the vehicle forward and veered to the left, and it went through the garage wall.  Connor was found lying in the grass a few minutes later.

His father, Robert Allen, is in need of some financial assistance to pay for expenses.  Any donations will be appreciated.
