Timothy Vance Allen, affectionately known as Tim to his friends and family, passed away peacefully on January 13, 2026, in his hometown of Alamance Co., North Carolina. Born on May 7, 1959, to the late William Vance Allen Jr. and Ruth Apple Allen, Tim's life was one of unwavering kindness, generosity, and love for those around him. Tim grew up in Alamance Co., where he would spend his entire life, building a legacy of warmth and community spirit. His presence was a constant source of joy and support to his family, especially to his devoted sister, Pam Allen Abner, and his many loving nieces and nephews who cherished their time with him. Though he was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Jeffrey Allen, Tim's memory will continue to be a beacon of light for his family. Professionally, Tim was known for his dedication and hard work. He was a man who put his heart into everything he did, and his commitment to his work was evident to all who knew him. Beyond his professional life, Tim was deeply involved in his community, always willing to lend a hand or offer support to those in need. Tim's interests were a reflection of his generous spirit and creative soul. His love for his nieces and great-nieces was boundless, and he poured his heart into every interaction with them. He will be forever remembered as a caring man who would give you the shirt off his back without hesitation. His refusal to turn away anyone in need was a testament to his character. A lover of Halloween and festive gatherings, Tim's joy was in bringing people together. His talents in crafts, decorating, and cooking were unmatched, and his creations brought beauty and flavor to every family event and neighborhood gathering. His love for his neighbors and community was reciprocated, as they all looked out for one another, creating a tight-knit family beyond blood relations. Timothy Vance Allen's life was a tapestry of love, care, and community. As we say goodbye to a man who was not just a loving brother, uncle, and friend, but also a pillar of the Alamance Co. community, we celebrate the indelible mark he has left on the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him. His legacy of kindness and selflessness will continue to inspire and guide us. Tim's memory will be cherished and kept alive through the stories and memories shared by those who loved him.
