Allen was born May 19, 1951, in Denison, Texas, the son of John and Lorene (McAlister) Pearson. He married Donna Pool on September 13, 1998, in Pottsboro, Texas. Allen partnered with his family to open Texoma Interiors in Pottsboro in March of 1982. He worked side by side in the beginning with his dad, mom, and brother Bob. Over the years, his son Lance joined the fold as well. He worked in the business up until the time of his passing.

Allen leaves a legacy of love for family. Whether it be visiting his mom for hours at a time in his childhood home, taking a trip over to his sister’s or brother’s homes in his Kawasaki Side by Side, mowing the yard on his Bad Boy Zero Turn so he and Donna could relax in a perfectly manicured lawn, or just being there for his ever-growing family, Allen will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Allen leaves behind this beloved family: wife, Donna Pearson; son, Lance Pearson; mother, Lorene Pearson; sister, Norma Mercer and husband, Dennis; brother, Bob Pearson and wife, Sandra all of Pottsboro, TX; stepchildren, Josh Sena; Jennifer Foster and husband, Jeff; Jeana Sena; step grandchildren, Taylor Perdue; Madelynn Peace; Joshua Sena, Jr; Elijah Foster; and Blake Foster. He was preceded in death by his father.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME

When tomorrow starts without me and I’m not here to see If the sun should rise and find your eyes are filled with

If the sun should rise and find your eyes are filled with tears for me

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today

While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say

I know how much you love me….as much as I love you

And each time you think of me I know you’ll miss me too

But when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand

That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand

And said my place was ready in Heaven far above

And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love

But when I walked through Heaven’s gate I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me from His

When God looked down and smiled at me from His great golden throne

He said this is eternity and all I’ve promised you

Today your life on earth is past, but here it starts anew

I promise no tomorrow for today will always last

And since each day’s the same way, there’s no longing for the past

So when tomorrow starts without me, Don’t think we’re far apart

For every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart
