Jerran Richard Allen, age 43, of Livingston, passed into the arms of Jesus on Tuesday, November 4th, 2025, at the Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital Midtown in Nashville with his loving family by his side. Jerran was a fun loving guy who had a spirited attitude, often with a touch of sass. He loved his family deeply especially his children.

Jerran was competitive to the core. You may beat him once, but he would do his best to make sure that was the only time. A natural athlete, Jerran excelled at many sports. His softball buddies and his golfing friends can surely tell many Jerran stories, and most will be told with a laugh or a smile. Jerran loved his music and enjoyed playing the guitar and grooving to the likes Bob Dylan, Red Clay Strays and alternative country. Fishing was also a past time that he enjoyed. 

Jerran was saved and baptized at Oak Hill Church in his teens. The family can take comfort that he is in a place of no pain and no tears.
