A Celebration of Allen’s Life will be held Saturday, November 18, 2023, at 3:00pm at Ott and Lee Funeral Home in Brandon with visitation starting at 2:00pm.

Allen was born in Mount Olive, IL to the late Donald McClaskey and Marie Harlan McClaskey. Allen moved his family to MS in the early 70's and has lived in Brandon for over 30 years. He was a member of First Baptist Church of Jackson.

Allen was a hardworking man that took pride in his work. Upon moving to MS, he started Mid South Inventory Services. This lasted several years until he started working for the Madsion County CO-OP. Shortly after his retirement, Allen returned to work part time at the Rankin County CO-OP. His loyalty and work ethic has always been unmatched.
