Richard D. Allen
Arizona
Richard (Rick) D. Allen, 68, was set free to the angels on Wednesday, November 15, 2017, after a courageous battle with a sudden illness at Banner Heart Hospital in Mesa, Arizona.
Rick was born February 9, 1949, in Des Moines, Iowa, to John and Mildred Allen. He proudly served in the U. S. Air Force. After his service, he became a diesel mechanic at TMC and then a medical equipment repair technician. His favorite thing to do was to go to sprint car races with his family. He will be remembered as a selfless man.

He was preceded in death by his parents, granddaughter, Megan and son, Troy.

Rick was a kind and gracious guy, when he saw others who were down, he was the first one to reach out and offer his ear to listen and have sympathy. He had an impact on the people he worked with through out the hospital. I worked with Rick since 2005 and sat right next to him for several of those years in the Biomed Dept at Chandler Reg. Med. Ctr, we shared many stories and life expirences, but most of all he was proud of his children and grandchildren, he Loved all of you very much. I am sorry for your loss, we will all missed him.
