Marcus

Allen

Marcus Allen, 65, of Iowa Park passed away November 6 from a sudden medical event. Marcus was born February 14, 1958, to Evelyn (Harbour) and Enoch (Jack) Allen. He was a graduate of Wichita Falls High School and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity.

Marcus lived a colorful life and loved to entertain friends with his (mis)adventures while owning a bar in Dallas. He began work with TransWestern Directories in 2001 and made a name for himself in north Texas and Oklahoma as a skilled sales professional and manager. He continued in that career until making a change in 2013 becoming a successful mortgage broker with Network Funding and licensed in Texas and Oklahoma.

The only thing Marcus loved as much as his beautiful life partner Betty Sharp - was cooking. His skills were chef-caliber. Nobody turned down an invitation to Marc and Betty's house when he was cooking! Marcus also dearly loved his dogs.

Marcus was preceded in death by his parents Jack and sister Sheila. He is survived by Betty Sharp, her children, and grandchildren whom he considered as his own. He is also survived by his close friend and business partner, Casey Glenn and his close friend and fraternity brother, Greg Horn, and wife Linda. Because Marcus Allen never met a stranger and never forgot a customer or acquaintance, he is survived by a whole lot of people who will never forget him.
