Andrew James Allen

Andrew James Allen passed away suddenly on May 16, 2026 in a single vehicle accident. Andy was born on July 23, 2003, at Mercy Medical Center in Mt. Shasta to Donnie and Colleen Allen. He lived his entire short life in Siskiyou County with his parents, his brother Hayden, and, since 2024, with his much-loved wife, Jocelyn. After graduating from Northern United Charter School in 2021, Andy worked for Montague Elementary's SAFE program, Northern United-Siskiyou Charter School as a tutor, the City of Yreka, and most recently serving as manager at our local McDonald's. He was such a kind and joyful person who loved everybody, always had a positive attitude, and made friends everywhere he went, even up into Canada and all the way to England. In life, Andy's passion was music. He was a gifted singer-songwriter and musician. He loved to perform, whether on piano, trumpet, drums, vocally, or in ASL. Andy was always an entertainer! At the time of his passing, he was working on his album, Dear Reality, with his dad. It was a project that they were both so fiercely proud of. Andy was also an avid Bible student. He especially enjoyed learning Bible history. He was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in October 2020, and loved to talk about his faith and his hope for the future. His wife, Jocelyn, says that they found much comfort in sharing Romans 8:38 & 39 with each other. His faith was strong, his hope remained bright. Andy is survived by his beloved wife of 2 years, Jocelyn Allen; his loving parents, Donnie and Colleen Allen; his younger brother, Hayden Allen; also mourning his passing are his adoring grandparents, Albert and Beverly Cross of Yreka; Molly and Dan Bagley of Yreka; Donnie R. Allen of Central Point. He was their pride and joy.

Further cherishing his memory are his aunts and uncles: Shari and Dan Rozon and family of Kanata, Canada; Shannon Rhine and family of Montague; AJ and Sara Cross of Yreka; and other loved members of his family. Along with those mentioned, Andy had a large spiritual family of the Yreka Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses who are all grieving the loss of this dear man.
