ALLEN ROY DEERING

ALLEN ROY DEERING Sunrise December 1, 1934 Sunset July 19, 2025 It is hard to say goodbye to someone you love.
Dad passed away in the afternoon on Saturday, July 19, 2025, surrounded by his son Darcy and his wife Linda, at the age of 90.5 years, at the Carmel Hospice at St. Joseph’s Covenant Care facility. He especially enjoyed outings at the Veiner Centre, where he made many friends, travelling, especially to Las Vegas, and most recently to Alaska with his son Darcy and granddaughter Stephanie. Allen loved spending time joking with family and friends. He worked for 29 years at Dominion Glass and retired 45 years ago; his other jobs included farming and carpentry. He made friends easily in the past years.
He took up yodelling and was known around town, and as far as he was concerned, famous all over the world and internet. He will be greatly missed by his closest family members, Darcy & Linda, and their family; Chris(Shannon), Josh(Gwyn), Stephanie & Chris(Tamara) and all of their children. He also leaves in passing his sons, Monty(Karen) & Dennis and their families. Allen had numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews who will miss him.
He is survived by his Sisters, Emma, Laurina, Lily(Wynn) & Peggy. He was predeceased by his son Gerald, parents Erna & Henry, and by his brother Edwin, the jokester. He will also be missed by his friends at St Joseph’s, where he spent the last 2 years living.
