Allen

Jason “Jay” Shawn Allen, 28, of La Grange, passed away peacefully at his residence on Monday, Oct. 25, 2021.

Jay was born in San Antonio on May 7, 1993, the son of Mary Regina Allen.

He married the love of his life, Cassandra Lee Layton on Sept. 30, 2019, in Bastrop. Jay and Cassandra were blessed with their beautiful daughter, Ellinora Nicole on June 5, 2020.

Jay was a devoted husband and father. He cherished spending time with his family and extended family members every opportunity that he had. Jay was the type of person that never met a stranger. He was kind, caring, and had a heart of gold.

His hobbies included fishing and a love for music. Jay even loved to rap and would entertain his family and friends by throwing out a few rap lyrics from time to time. More than anything Jay just loved life and lived it to the fullest.

He is survived by his loving wife, Cassandra “Cassie” Allen and their daughter, Ellinora Nicole of La Grange; grandmother, Peggy Allen of San Antonio; mother, Mary Regina Allen of San Antonio; sister, Tiffany Dean of Bryan; his favorite cousins: Dalton Dupree of Bastrop; and Isabel Garcia and husband, Michael of San Antonio; along with his aunt, Leah Allen of La Grange.

Jay was preceded in death by his grandfather, Melvin Gene Allen; brother, Christopher Allen; uncle, Joey Allen; and aunt, Terri Allen.

A private celebration of Jay’s life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
