Obituary
Raymond Troy Allen, 56, of Lincoln,
passed away on November 22, 2024, at Barnes Jewish

Raymond was born July 1, 1968, in Chula Vista,
California, the son of John and Sylvia (Moreland)
Allen. Raymond was united in marriage to Debra
Haseley on February 8, 2020, in Puerto Morelos,
Mexico, surrounded by family and friends.
Raymond is survived by his wife, Debbie; brothers
and sisters, Johnny (Sherry Hudson) Allen, Randy
Allen, Carrol (Richard) Delgado, Julie (Brian)
Miller, Bart (Becky Holloway) Allen, Jenny Allen,
and Tracy Allen; his mother-in-law, Judy Haseley;

niece; and fur-babies, Beastie, Ollie, and Mr.
Chatsworth.
Raymond is preceded in death by his father, John
Allen; father-in-law, Lynn Haseley; and
grandparents.
Raymond worked for the California Conservation Corps
which led to becoming a firefighter for Cal-Fire in
northern California. Raymond sought adventure and
backpacked throughout many countries. He landed for
a time in New Zealand where he worked on farms and
at an inn by the sea. His next stop was Australia
for 8 years, where he worked in gold mines in the
Western Australian outback. Raymond met the love of
his life, Debbie, and his travels took him back to
the states to Lincoln, Illinois.

Anyone that knew Raymond was blessed.
He was a kind, caring, and giving man that never
asked for anything in return. Growing up as the baby
in the family with 7 brothers and sisters plus his
travels, he always had a story to tell. Raymond
loved to see people smile and to hear them laugh. He
took pride in cooking for family and friends.
Raymond was known for his Mexican cuisine. He had an
uncanny knowledge of many things; you could always
learn something new in a conversation with him. He
had a passion for all living creatures especially
snakes, spicy Mexican food, good whiskey, and the
desert. He made lifelong friendships with every
journey throughout his life. Most of all, Raymond
cherished his wife, family, friends, and his
fur-babies. He touched many lives and will be
greatly missed.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in
Raymond’s name to the St. Louis Hope Lodge at 4207
Lindell Blvd., St. Louis Mo, 63108 for all of their
continued support to families in their time of need.
Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to
Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home.
