Christopher Lee Allen

Florence Arizona, Phoenix Arizona - Christopher Allen, forever 38. Was taken home in gods arms on Saturday January 11, 2025. Christopher was born in Tucson Arizona on March 01, 1986.

Christopher, “ Mr. Mayhem”, was known for his loving and caring soul. He was always willing to give someone a chance, but he only gave one. He was a man of integrity and honor who worked hard and played hard. His childhood was tough, he was tougher. Through it all he never seemed to lose his strength, or his good heart. He managed to always keep that sweet smile on his face, a positive attitude and never failed to think about others. That’s who he was, compassionate , kind, funny, respectful, respected. He walked with integrity, he was resilient, he was bigger than life, he was LEGENDARY. 

Chris loved to BBQ and boy did he love to eat a good steak and he could really cool. He enjoyed being around his family and the family he created, he was a natural protector and always put his family first. We were all so blessed to have known him. 

He enjoyed riding on the road whether it be in his Challenger or his Harley. The road was where he was free and there wasn't a road trip he wasn't ready to take. He had a passion and a real gift for photography. He had an eye for capturing life's greatest moments, and the perfect shot was always worth his time and efforts. 

Christopher never let anything hold him back. When he wanted something, he was focused and he went for it with a hunger. He was on the ski slope by age 11, he drove a speedboat, a race car, went repelling, hiked, and loved to travel. California was one of his favorite places to go. 

Christopher left a huge footprint in the world and a touched so many lives and inspired so many people. He was an amazing son, a true big brother who was loved by his brother and sister. After being a confirmed bachelor his whole life, he met the woman who would change his life in ways he'd never imagined. Samantha "Sam" brought out the man he'd never realized was missing from our world. He was never happier than when he was with his future bride and the two daughters he felt privileged to be thought of as more than just a step dad. His new family became the focus and purpose for all the good things he could bring to the world. His new life in the role of husband and father was the missing link to the world he'd never realized wasn't yet complete. And then it was. 

His loss has brought great sadness and has left our family broken until we meet again. We will keep his memory alive and celebrate the beautiful person he was, knowing he's always here with us, watching over us and loving us from afar as we love him and focus on healing to live our best lives, because he would settle for nothing less. 

Christopher is survived by his fiancé Samantha Tafoya, and his two step daughters Jade and Saveah Godinez. Christopher leaves behind his parents Jamie Allen and Scott Allen. Christopher was the proud big brother of Tyler Allen and Caylee Allen, his grandmother Viola Johnson; and his grandfather Jack Curlin. He had a large extended family including aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who also loved him dearly. 

Jack Curlin was greeted by Christopher at the gates of heaven three short days later after a long fight with bone cancer. Knowing they would be together brings us comfort. May they both rest peacefully together forever. This is not goodbye, just I’ll see you later.
