Richard Lindell Allen, age 67, of Xenia, Illinois, passed away early Sunday morning, July 10, 2022, at his home.
He was born April 27, 1955, in Flora, the son of David Lindell and Pauline (Trimble) Allen.
Richard enjoyed time spent outdoors, gardening, and attending tractor pulls. Over the years he worked alongside his father on the farm and helped with livestock. He had also worked in the sawmill, as road crew for Songer Township, and as a mechanic at Knapp’s Service Station in Xenia. Often utilizing his carpentry skills, Richard enjoyed tinkering and it seemed there wasn’t anything that he could not fix.

He was preceded in death by his parents.
