Allen Spencer

On August 19, 2026, at the age of 78, Allen Spencer passed away peacefully at The Heather. He is survived by his loving wife, Linda; his four children, Sharon, Ryan, Matt (Emma), and Jarrod; eight grandchildren; and one great-grandson. He also leaves behind three surviving siblings, along with many cherished cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

A lifelong Gratten Laker, Allen was always ready to lend a helping hand to any neighbour in need and was a bright, active presence in both the Gratten Lake and Rawdon communities. Naturally creative, he was constantly drawing, building, or fixing things with his hands. He possessed a wonderful sense of humour and a unique knack for turning almost any song into a personalized jingle.

Allen could frequently be spotted in the early morning or quiet evening hours taking some well-deserved “me time” in his Canada flag canoe—and wherever there was a dance floor, Allen was on it! He had a warm, genuine spark that made anyone feel instantly welcome. Family and friends hold countless stories of his many adventures (and misadventures). We take comfort in knowing that as he begins his next adventure, he is being welcomed with open arms by all those who went before him.

Most importantly, Allen was a devoted husband, a loving father, and “the best little brother anyone could have”. Never one for long lectures or heavy speeches, he chose instead to lead by example through kindness, hard work, and laughter. We hope we make you proud, Dad.

Allen, you left an unforgettable mark on every heart you touched. Until we meet again.

The family has held a private tribute to celebrate Allen’s life. For  those wishing to honour his memory in place of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice
