Allen was a strong person. He loved strong, worked strong, and was always highly determined to achieve whatever he set his mind to. He would do anything for his close friends and family. Allen was a jack of all trades he could fix and repair just about anything. He was always there to lend an ear to listen or a hand to help. At family gatherings he could always fill up the room with laughter and jokes. He had the best laugh that brought out joy in others. He loved his children dearly and always wanted what was best for them. He was never short of fatherly advice and support.

Allen truly adored all animals. He used to bring animals home to his mother as a young child and that is how he ended up with two of his childhood dogs, Rex and Rocky. He and his wife Catherine had 5 dogs together that they lovingly cared for together.

One of his favorite things to do was to spend time with his family. He especially adored his grandchildren Allen V, Xander, Kaleb, Jacob Jr., and Charlotte Gage, Eva Brown, and Maddie Dasilva. He enjoyed playing with them, making them laugh, and always put a smile on their face.

Allen III was welcomed into heaven by his father, Allen Jr, and his beloved son Eric Robert Gage. He is survived by his mother Mary Gage, his two brothers Robert Gage and wife Raeanne, William Gage and wife Tara, and sister Kelly Ann Stuart and husband Ken.
