Allyn was a truck driver having drove for NOTS Trucking in Nashville, Illinois for several years.

He was a member of the Mount Vernon Moose Lodge, Jefferson County Krazy Klowns, and he was a 32nd Degree Free Mason of the Washington Lodge #0055 in Nashville, Illinois.

He met and married the love his life, Kim M. Nehrkorn on December 5, 1987. This 35 year union was blessed with twin daughters, Allyssa (Adam) Agnew of Pinckneyville, IL and Kelsey Lietz-Mannen of Woodlawn, IL; grandchildren, Ayden Bergman, Brenlee Agnew, Callynn Agnew, and Rowen Mannen, all of whom miss Allyn deeply; others left to mourn his passing, Greg Lietz of Ashley, IL, Lindsey (Cathy) Lietz of Nashville, IL, Lori (Tom) Segelhorst of Venedy, IL, John (Lori) Lietz of Clarksville, TN, and James (Dawn) Lietz of Hoyleton, IL.

He is preceded in death by his parents; brother, Bradley Lietz; father-in-law, Kenneth Nehrkorn.

Per Allyn’s request there will be no services held. He asked that family and friends drink a cold Busch Beer in his honor or grab a 12-pack of Dr. Pepper and reminisce about the crazy antics that he pulled throughout his lifetime.
