Joshua Cameron Allen
Joshua Cameron Allen left this earth in the early morning hours of April 14th, 2014 in Salt Lake City. Josh was seeking treatment for struggles that he had dealt with for several years. He was diagnosed with pneumonia and passed away in his sleep.
Joshua was born December 21, 1990 on a cold winter day in Pocatello Idaho. He was the oldest child, and the first son of Lisa Jensen Allen and Cameron Maurice Allen. He had two sisters Camille and Samantha Allen who adored their older brother.
Joshua was an avid reader who did well in school. He won spelling bees, topped the honor rolls, and always had a deep philosophical way of conversing with others. Josh loved to skate board as well as roller blade as a child and into his young adult years. He would beg his parents for the newest blades, and to take him to a local skate park to hone his craft. Josh had many talents including playing the guitar, piano and love of music. He was an incredible singer and formed his own band in junior high school. He and his bandmates performed locally and competed in battle of the band competitions. They co-wrote some amazing songs together. Josh continued to utilize his ability for the theatric by trying out for several plays. He was cast as Jud Fry in Oklahoma, as well as was cast in Thoroughly Modern Millie at Weber High School.
Josh had a great sense of humor. Often times he’d have everyone including his sisters laughing at something and then his mom would come around the corner, and he’d say “what?” He was quick witted and people loved to be around Joshua. Josh was also very tender hearted. He loved animals; he loved helping those that had challenges. Joshua was generous. He gave freely of his friendship, and often times was just happy to be in a room full of friends or relatives.
A year ago, Joshua lost the loves of his life. He lost sweet Tianna and his daughter Tyler to a terrible automobile accident. Josh was never quite the same following their deaths. He often shared how he wanted to be with them. How he longed to see them again. Today he rests with them in Heaven. No more pain, no more struggles, and a network of loving relatives sharing with him their love.
Josh was preceded in death by his sweetheart, Tianna Marie Johnson; his daughter, Tyler Adele Johnson; his grandpa, Duane A. Jensen; and grandma, Adele Jensen; his grandfather, Ted Allen; and his grandmother, Dixie Allen.
