Nicholas Lee Allen, loving son and brother, 23, of Prairieville, departed this 
life Friday, May 17, 2013. 

He was born in Thibodaux, March 6, 1990, and spent his childhood years there.

Visitation will be from 9 a.m. until funeral time Wednesday at St. James 
Catholic Church in St. James. A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday 
at the church.

He is survived by his mother, Mary Lee Allee Allen; father and step-mother, 
Ronnie and Linda Allen; sister, Megan Allen Mayhew (Zeb III); brother, Jacob 
Allen; half-sisters, Renee Allen McCrory (Brant) and K. Cherron Allen Philippe 
(Devin); half-brother, Burch Allen; many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts uncles 
and friends.

Nicholas' love of life has been passed on by his gift of organ donation. He was 
able to witness this gift of life by having his grandfather receive both a 
heart and kidney transplant which extended his life by 15 years. Nicholas 
graduated from St. Amant High School. He was currently attending River Parishes 
Community College in Sorrento and working at Logan's.

The family wishes to thank LOPA for their respect and care. The family wishes 
to express their gratitude to St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Gonzales, Our Lady of 
the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge and their neurosurgery staff who continued to 
fight for Nicholas' life when he had no fight left of his own. Thank you to the 
TNCC staff especially Dr. Horace Mitchell, Dr. Tomas Jacome, Jackie and 
Brittany for allowing Nick's final moments to be dignified.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Home of Grace, P.O. Box 
5009, Vancleave, Miss. 39565 to help those struggling with substance addiction.

Ourso Funeral Home in Gonzales is in charge of arrangements.
