Stephen (Steve) Clark Allen, died at age 56. He was born in Paducah, Kentucky, and spent his childhood in Gallatin, TN. Steve was always filled with a passion for the outdoors, adventure, and his family. He loved his "Dad" jokes and brought joy and laughter to everyone around him. He loved Jesus, went to seminary in California, and became a Pastor so that he could share that love with others in a leadership role. He moved our family to Savalou, Benin, West Africa where we spent our childhood. Africa was one of his favorite places and where he was the happiest. When we moved to America he bought Climb Time Indy. He worked hard as a small business owner. He spent the majority of his life as a proud Dad of his two kids, and 5 grandkids. He could find a way to brag about his kids to anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Proverbs 22:1 "A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold."
