Scott Allen

(From Ozark Funeral Home)

James Scott Allen, born September 6, 1962, in Monroe, Louisiana, passed away on July 12, 2026, in Anderson, Missouri.

He was the son of the late James Allen and the late Lois Loyd Allen.

Scott was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Whitney Nicole Allen; his sister, Angie Williams; and his lifelong friend, Charlie James.

He is survived by his former wife and the mother of his three children, Renee Lambert Allen; his son, James Hunter Allen and wife, Ryann; his daughter, Bailee Jo Puckett and husband, Joel; his sister, Brenda McDaniel and husband Darin; and his cherished grandchildren, Bryson, Colt, and Milly.

Scott was a hardworking and skilled man who took great pride in his work. He owned and operated his own business, Allen Electric, in Delhi, Louisiana, for more than 10 years, and he was very proud of that accomplishment. He also worked for JCI Industries Inc. as an Electrical Motor Mechanic, where his talent and dedication were well known. He was especially skilled at rewinding electric motors.

Beyond his work, Scott was a generous, caring, and compassionate father who loved his children deeply. He was known as the life of the party, someone who could bring energy, laughter, and warmth to any room. His kind, thoughtful, and generous spirit left a lasting impression. He was also a proud former president of the Ponderosa Hunting Club, an association that reflected his love of the outdoors. Scott found peace and joy in deer hunting and fishing. He was an avid New Orleans Saints fan and enjoyed music of all genres.

These interests were part of what made him who he was, and they brought him many happy moments throughout his life. His memory will continue to live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date in Missouri with immediate family. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in memory of Scott Allen, honoring his life and legacy while also celebrating the life of his daughter, Whitney Allen, who underwent treatment at St. Jude.
