Harrison “Allen” Bowen, age 73, of Lawrenceville, Georgia, died on Saturday, May 7, 2022 at Piedmont Eastside Medical Center after various health issues. He is survived by his devoted wife of 44 years, Vickie Harris Bowen; four children, Melinda & Charles Orr of Sugar Hill, GA, Allen & Trisha Bowen of McDonough, GA, Cheyenne & Austin Weeks of Jackson, GA and Amanda Bowen of Lawrenceville, GA; 16 grandchildren; 2 great grandchildren; three sisters, Sheila Faye, Roxanne and Linda Ann; sister-in-law, Freda Henderson; special friends, Dwight & Cheryl Pritchett and their son, Butch; numerous nieces, nephews, other friends and his beloved pet companion, Alpha. Allen was preceded in death by his parents, Wayman Bowen and and Mildred McKerley Bowen; three siblings, Jerry, Rick and Linda Gail. Allen was born in Charlotte, North Carolina on June 2, 1948. He worked in the construction business for over 30 years installing beautiful flooring. He enjoyed going fishing, especially deep sea fishing, cooking Bar-B-Q outside and spoiling his grandchildren and great grandchildren. His favorite western TV program was “Gunsmoke” and there was nothing like a good western movie. He was known for tearing lawn mowers apart, but putting them back together fell on his brother-in-law, Darrell. He was not a frugal man and would give you the shirt off of his back. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends. It was Allen’s request to be cremated. There will be a gathering and service in the Parlor at Tom M. Wages Lawrenceville Chapel on Wednesday, May 11, 2022 at 2:00 P.M. The gathering will be held from Noon until the hour of the service in the Parlor. In lieu of flowers, Allen would want donations to be made towards his services. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.wagesfuneralhome.com. Tom M. Wages Funeral Service, 120 Scenic Highway, Lawrenceville, GA 30046 (770-963-2411) has been entrusted with the arrangements.
