A native of Watertown, New York and resident of Broussard, Mr. McKinley went to be with
the Lord Jesus at 5:49PM on Sunday, July 31, 2016 at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. Mr.
Allen clearly understood the concept and driven attitude toward citizenship. Upon
graduating high school he entered the United States Marine Corps and proudly served his
country during the Vietnam War. This would be the precedence for a lifetime of servitude
for God and country. He retired with the Marine Corps after 22 years and continued
serving his country through numerous government agencies. Most recently he was employed
with P.S.C. Supply of Broussard. Mr. McKinley was a blessing to all who knew him. He
was a loving father, grandfather, brother and faithful husband who had a contagious joy
that followed him.

Youngsville, Jeffery McKinley of Broussard, and Steve McKinley of Havlock, North
Carolina; a brother Richard McKinley of Rochester, New York, a sister Carolyn Larson of
Broussard; his precious grandchildren, Jayden and Jolie Comeaux, Kaileigh McKinney,
