Obituary for Allen Whitley
Allen Owen Whitley, son of the late William Luther Whitley, Sr. and Annie Bell Staggers Whitley, was born on February 23, 1961 in Johnston County, North Carolina. He departed this life on March 7, 2019 at 628 Grantland Drive in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Allen attended Johnston and Wake County Public Schools. He spent most of his adult life as an auto mechanic and always went the extra mile to keep your vehicle in shape.
Allen was preceded in death by his sister Annie Pearl Whitley Adams.
Allen leaves to cherish his memories, his wife Regina L. Whitley; daughters, Jamonica Foster (James) and Starkesha Lunsford; sons, Brandon Lunsford (Brillian), Rakeith Lunsford, Jamal Mitchell, and Ezekiel Mitchell all of Raleigh NC; 18 grandchildren; sisters, Ida Faye Hinton and Shirley Whitley Parker; brothers, William Whitley, Jr. and David Lee Whitley; loving in-laws, Oney Louis and Gladys Louise Lunsford all of Raleigh, North Carolina, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
With his kind heart, he allowed two sons to be adopted by families that gave them the best life that they could have, during a time when he was not in a position to give them the life he knew they deserved. He loved them enough to let them go. He was blessed to meet one of them before he passed away. We are so grateful to the family both for loving him and allowing him and Allen to meet.
