A smile, a playful sense of humor, and the ability to bring laughter and love to
those who knew Lamont. Born November 6, 1974, in Riverside, California, he
was an adventurous wanderer who loved to travel and learn. After graduating from
San Diego High School, Lamont began to search for his passion in life. Lamont
gave generously from his compassion and abilities to connect with others,
especially as a volunteer coach and mentor to youth sports. For his family,
these qualities allowed him to bond with nieces, nephews, and cousins. He
encouraged them to play, whether it was with his beloved computer games or
the game of tag. or his favorite holiday, Halloween. His family knew the day
would bring laughter and fun as he gave freedom to his inner child.
Lamont’s life wasn’t always filled with joy yet he overcame obstacles thrown in
his path and continued to become the person he wanted to be. He freed the
creative inside him and trained as a massage therapist and personal trainer. He
combined these with his love of coaching and in 2023-4 he embarked on his
business adventure, Harmony Health and Sports. Lamont did not have the
chance to see this adventure take form and grow, his untimely death on April 11,
2024, closed this chapter of his life yet the entirety of his story remains with us
forever.
His family grieves his absence from our lives: his mother Sherry Rayne
Ogbebor, his father Charles Edward Allen; his siblings Geoffrey Olson, Charles
Jr, Crystal, Barrett, Jacque, Hamishe, Troy, Melissa, Todd, Rolova, and Rollice
Allen; his children Sherry Lozano, Jose Antonio Allen, and Andrew Stanton; his
grandfather Riley Allen; his aunts Margo Hendricks, Sherryl Allen, Tanya Allen,
Janice Allen, Crystal Allen, and Alberta Higgins; and his niece and nephews,
cousins, and friends.
Yet, he is with the ancestors who welcomed him with open arms and loving
embraces. His grandmothers Lillian Williams and Velma Allen; his uncles
Kenneth Ray Love and Frank Lee Murray, and those who went before him.
Lamont brings to them the same infectious spirit, inner beauty, love, and joy he
brought to his family, friends, and anyone whose life he touched.
