Harold's obituary
Harold Allen, born on March 21, 1942, in South Charleston, West Virginia, passed away peacefully on June 16, 2025, in Raleigh, North Carolina. He was 83 years old.
Harold’s life was a testament to quiet strength and a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures that make life meaningful. Survived by his children, Sarah Mitchell of Greensboro, and Thomas Allen of Winston-Salem, as well as his grandchildren Marley Allen of Winston-Salem.
A true outdoorsman at heart, Harold found joy and solace in nature—especially near the water. Fishing was more than a pastime for him; it was a lifelong passion that brought him peace and connection. Whether under sunny skies or during a gentle rain, Harold could often be found along the riverbank with a fishing pole in hand. Ever thoughtful and generous, he always brought an extra rod for anyone who might want to join him—a small but telling gesture that reflected his welcoming spirit and love of companionship.
Harold’s presence brought comfort to those around him. His legacy is one of warmth, generosity, and quiet wisdom—qualities that will continue to live on through the memories shared by those who knew him best.
May his memory bring comfort to all who loved him.
