Jay Allen, age 78, passed away May 7th following complications from pneumonia. He was born November 15, 1929, in Tooele to Jay and Ruby (Gillespie) Neiheisel. Survived by wife Brigitte of 35 years; sons Jay (Joanna), Steve (Andrea), Ralph (Kim) and daughter Jennifer (Mark); sister Margene; 9 grandchildren; and his extended family.
Jay worked construction and was co-owner of JB Construction for many years. There wasn't anything he couldn't fix. He'd always say, "Man made it, man can fix it!" He loved his many dogs, leaving behind Annie, but will be especially happy to see Cagney again. We will miss his sense of humor and his gentle spirit. He will always be in our hearts.
Memorial Service will be held at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 S. 900 E., 801-474-9119, on Tuesday, May 13 from 2 – 4 pm.
