Doug Allen

Douglas Keith Allen, 57, of Bloomfield, Iowa passed away on November 24, 2022, at MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa surrounded by his loved ones. Doug was born June 19, 1965, in Bloomfield to Leo Wayne and Rosemary Baker Allen. Doug graduated from Davis County High School and Indian Hills Community College. He was employed at Cargill of Eddyville for 29 1/2 years. While growing up on the family farm, Doug was very involved and had many responsibilities with the family business of raising Angus cattle. He enjoyed working outside and being on the farm along with repairing and restoring tractors and vehicles. He was also a skilled woodworker and made several pieces for family members. Doug’s work ethic and attention to detail were reflected in these projects and in everything that he did. Doug was known for his sense of humor which might include pulling a prank or joke on someone, and his ability to tell a good story. He had a gift for remembering specific details about the special people, places, and events in his family and he loved sharing these memories and stories. Doug enjoyed spending time with his family, was especially proud of his children, and was “tickled” as he would say to be a grandpa. Doug is survived by his son Brandon (Lindsay) Allen and grandchildren Claire Rose and Riggins Keith Allen of Oakland, Iowa, along with daughters MacKenzie Allen of Charleston, South Carolina, Courtney (Paul) Robidoux of Ankeny, and Megan Allen and grandson Forrest Wayne Breese of Bloomfield. Also, surviving are his brother Kenny (Christy) Allen of Pattonsburg, Missouri, and his sister, Kathy (Bill) Castle of Boone, Iowa. He is preceded in death by his parents, and his beloved grandparents Shickery and Alma Allen and Charley and Lila Baker. Doug will be dearly missed by his family and friends. Funeral services will be at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, December 1, 2022 at the Wagler Funeral Home in Bloomfield with Father Patrick Hilgendorf officiating. Burial will be at the IOOF Cemetery in Bloomfield. Visitation will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday with the family present to greet friends from 5-7:00 p.m. at the funeral home. A memorial has been established to the Davis County Courthouse Preservation Fund.
