JB was larger than life and a role model. He was very instrumental in the success of the Weslaco Jaycees. His faith in God showed through in his service and actions in everyday life. We will pray for the repose of his soul. May he rest in peace.
Deepest sympathy to the Allen family for the loss of such a magnificent, spiritual being. There aren’t enough words to describe the blessings John and his family were to us. A steadfast and generous friend to our big brother Michael, which extended to we siblings for years after Mike’s demise. His love of God was indeed contagious and was valued by all who were graced with his sunshine. Much love to John and his whole, wonderful family. Love you forever, Valerie….

I first met John when the Weslaco Jaycees were going strong in the 1980's. He and his brothers Noble and David (along with Mary Lou later when they admitted women to the organization) were the driving force in making our club one of the best in the State of Texas. After every meeting, we would recite the Jaycee Creed which John exemplified.
We Believe:
That Faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life
That the brother hood of men transcends the sovereignty of nations
That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise
That government should be of laws rather than of men
That earth's great treasure lies in human personality
That service to humanity is the best work of life!
