Andrew James Allen
January 20, 2015 - October 22, 2022
Andrew James Allen, age 7, departed this life Saturday, October 22, 2022 at UK Children's hospital. He leaves behind a slew of broken hearts: His Daddy and Mommy of Pikeville, KY), His sisters , His Papaw and Mamaw of Louisville, OH), His Poppy and Granny of TN & Lecanto, FL), and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and his church family (the Main Street Church of Christ in Pikeville, KY). All who know Andrew understand what a special and beautiful boy he is. Words cannot describe the joy he has brought to our lives. His sister asked, "How do you describe seven amazing years?" Truly, Andrew's life was more than a list of dates and relatives. Andrew has the kindest heart. He always tried to be a comfort to those around him. He was known for writing notes and drawing pictures for those he loved (especially silly pictures). He loved being with his family. If you gave him a choice of what to do, he would often suggest to just stay at home, hangout, and play board games. He loved to draw and to make pictures for those he loved. Andrew gives the world's best snuggles and hugs. Andrew loves his family. He is curious, playful, and hilarious. He has tons of imagination. He is famous in his family for being an inventor of games and toys, such as, "the whippetaw", "the Nieminator", and "The-Thing-I-Used-To-Do-All-Day". He is a builder of forts, a climber of trees, and with a good stick he is a scourge to Kudzu or anything else that needs beaten back in the yard. He was always full of big ideas. Andrew is an avid prank-puller, but not a very good one, but that did not deter him. He loved his hoverboard and would ride it expertly all through the house, even if he just had to go across the room. He loves adventures big and small. He loved to ride his bike around the neighborhood, especially with his sisters. He also loved to ride around fast on the minibike with Dad and Chloe. He enjoyed taking walks to look for cool rocks and creatures. He loved finding flowers for his mom. He loved riding roller coasters after he conquered his fear. He always thought he was the fastest runner in the family and that he was stronger than his dad. He loved to trade punches and wrestle. Andrew loves baseball. The past two seasons in coach-pitch league meant the world to him. He tried so hard and he got his first real hits this year and everyone cheered for him, even parents on the other teams. Even though it is Fall, he was working hard to improve his hitting and was so proud that he was able to knock a whiffle ball out of our yard consistently. Andrew loves to play the piano. He played the piano at home all the time and was amazing for being only 7 years old. He could play by ear and would only have to hear a snippet of a song and in a few minutes be playing it. His sister Ella called him a prodigy. Andrew loves to read. He was working his way through our family library with books far above his grade level. If you asked him how school was going he would always say "Terrible!" but you could tell by his smirk that he said this just to get a reaction. He really loved all his teachers and his friends at Pikeville Elementary. Andrew loves his church family and he knows they love him. The Main Street Church of Christ was such a big part of his life. He had many friends young and old. He could always be found playing with his friends after church services in the back. He loved all the youth activities and bible classes. He was very proud of the verses he was memorizing and learning how to lead singing, prayer, and read scripture. Andrew is all this and so much more. Indeed, "How do you describe seven amazing years?"
Visitation will be in at the Main Street Church of Christ for friends from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 25, 2022. Funeral Services will be at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 at the Main Street Church of Christ. Keith Blackburn, Thaniel Thacker, and David Lawrence officiating.
Burial will follow at Annie E. Young Cemetery, Pikeville, Kentucky.
