CHRISTOPHER ALLEN, 55, of Naples, Florida, was joyfully reunited in heaven with his late parents Hazen “Jake” and Carole Allen, and his son, Christopher, Jr. on January 24, 2024, after a valiant battle with cancer.

The 1986 graduate of Fauquier High School joined the United States Marine Corps, advancing to the rank of Sergeant. Upon his return from several deployments, he began a long and illustrious career in law enforcement, first serving with the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office, and then with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, where he met and married the love of his life, Angelica. Warm weather and a sense of adventure brought Chris and Angelica to Florida, where Chris served both as a patrol deputy, and then as a detective with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office. He studied public administration at Barry University, graduating summa cum laude in 2016, and again in 2020 with his MBA. His professionalism, work ethic, fighting spirit, and humility earned him the respect and admiration of his peers and superiors alike.

While Chris brought laughter to every situation he encountered, he was also a devoted and gentle husband, a proud father to his son Jacob Hazen, and had a warm and generous heart for his family and friends.

Besides his loving wife of 21 years, Angelica, and his son Jacob, Chris is survived by his brother, Tim Allen and his wife, Kim, of Sumerduck, Virginia, his brother Lee Allen of Stafford, Virginia, and his sister Evie Mills and her husband, Democrat, of Delaplane, Virginia and by his Godson, Caleb Sams. He was a much-loved uncle to eleven nieces and nephews- Matt, Ashley (Jeremy), Brad (Kelsey), Amber, Ashley, Alexis, Abbie, Brittany, Francisco (Abbey), Kelsey, and Hailey; and nine great-nieces and nephews- Logan, Landon, Taiden, Tabitha, Riley, Mason, Austin, Ryan, and Brynnlee. He is also survived by innumerable faithful friends and law enforcement brothers and sisters, particularly the members of his East Naples “Easy Company” shift.

A celebration of life will be held at First Baptist Church, 3000 Orange Blossom Drive, Naples, Florida, 34109 on Tuesday, January 30th, an open casket invitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. until 9:25 a.m. The service will begin promptly at 9:30 a.m.

A funeral service will be held at the same location on Monday, February 5th at 10:30 a.m. with an interment to follow at Quantico National Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the Family requests that donations be made in Chris’ honor to either the Cancer Alliance Network at https://www.canceralliancenetwork.org or the Humane Society of Naples at https://hsnaples.org.

While we deeply mourn our loss, we also celebrate Chris’ resurrection in Jesus and rejoice in the knowledge that we will see him again surrounded by God’s glory!
