Lesley Marvin Allen

Lesley Marvin Allen, 78, of Shelby, NC, passed away on Thursday Jan. 26th, 2023.

He is survived by his three sons, Anthony "Tony" Allen, Jason Allen and wife Krista, David Allen (fiancé Lindsey Gautier) and four grandchildren (Dylan, Madison, Silas, and Alexis).

During his working days, Les was employed primarily as an engineer at PPG Industries (27yrs) in Shelby. "Pop" was an avid sportsman, enjoyed working the land while on his tractor, and watching Atlanta Braves baseball. Les was a person of faith with a dry wit, and sheepish grin.
