Marty Lee Allen

Mr. Marty Lee Allen, 66, of Blackshear, passed away Saturday afternoon, February 14, 2026, at Memorial Satilla Health in Waycross following a sudden illness.

Born in Pikeville, KY on February 3, 1960, he lived in Melbourne, FL for many years prior to moving to Pierce County in 2018.  Marty was a 1978 graduate of Mel High School in Melbourne where he had excelled at baseball.  He worked in construction as the superintendent for the J.

He was a son of the late Joel & Maxine “Gloria” Duval Allen.  He was also preceded in death by a young brother, Kip Allen.

Survivors include his wife of 44 years, Elizabeth “Beth” Connor Allen of Blackshear; his daughter and son-in-law, Rebecca & Shayne Harris of Palm Bay, FL; his son and daughter-in-law, Josh & Candace Allen of Patterson; three brothers and sisters-in-law, Terry & Donna Allen of Palm Bay, David & Marie Allen of West Virginia, and Shane & Karla Allen of W. Melbourne, FL; 4 grandchildren, Hunter Allen, Emersyn Harris, Beau Allen, and Gray Harris; 3 brothers-in-law in Florida; and several nieces, nephews, and other relatives.
