Brian S. Allen

Brian Scott Allen, 59 years old, of Millerstown, passed away peacefully with loved ones by his side on October 28, 2024, to be with the Lord, after a long, hard-fought battle with his health. He was blessed to live an additional 15 years after a heart transplant in 2009. He was born in Harrisburg, PA on October 19, 1965, to the late Frank A. Allen and Nancy (Gusler) Allen. He lived in Susquehanna Township, PA for most of his life, until 2003 when he moved his family to Perry County. He graduated from Susquehanna Township High School in 1984. He loved the Lord, his family, hunting and fishing, and politics. He spent a considerable amount of his life as a salesman or entrepreneur in various businesses all the while delving into the world of politics and raising a family. He grew up in the grocery store his family owned, Allen’s Market on 6th street in Harrisburg, and was assigned to work on the register at 12 years old because he was a bit shy and unwilling to talk to people. After that job, he never stopped talking. He and his brother Steve owned and operated The Tackle Shop in Penbrook, PA. He then went on to making subs and catered for several years as an extension of Allen’s Market. He operated the café in the Dauphin County courthouse for a couple of years, worked for the Department of Corrections in their Big House Products division, and then became a commissioner for Perry County. He leaves behind his wife Susan (Joyce) of 32 years, their daughter Rachel Minium (Flint), their sons Frank (Mallory) and Thomas (Mikayla), and their youngest daughter Anna Smith (Michael). He was the proud grandfather of 6 grandchildren and one brand new granddaughter he hadn’t met. Lorelei and Wilder Minium, Dawson Allen, Jensyn and Jameson Allen, Michael and, brand new Paisley Smith. He is survived by his mother Nancy (Gusler) Allen and her brother Thomas Gusler, his brothers Steve (Donna) and Greg (Tracy) Allen, his niece and nephew Marie Allen and Brandon Allen, and his nephews William and Zachary Boone to his sister Karen, who preceded him in death. A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at 2:00pm, at the Newport Assembly of God Family Life Center at 27 W. Shortcut Rd., Newport, PA. There will be no viewing, but there will be a time of fellowship and food following the service.. The Boyer Family is honored to handle the arrangements for the Allen Family.
