Allen Eugene McGregor

Allen Eugene McGregor was born August 6, 1962 to Evelyn and Clifford McGregor. He was raised in rural Nebraska on his family's farm, and it was there that he developed his love for farming, family, community, and God. Allen graduated from Wauneta High School where he enjoyed participating in the athletics programs. He continued on with his education and graduated college from University of Nebraska at Lincoln with a Bachelors of Science in Agricultural Business, and went on to work for FDIC as a Field Officer Supervisor. He then met and fell in love with Lori (Kent) Pemberton, and from this union they welcomed two beautiful souls into the world, Erica and Luke. During Allen's short, but impactful life, he enjoyed attending Luke's wrestling matches (one could always hear him cheering passionately above the dull roar of the crowds), going to Erica's dance shows, and spending time in Omaha with his daughter Meagan and her family. In addition, he could always be heard belting out his favorite Elvis tunes and loved barbecuing/hosting some epic Nebraska Husker tailgate events (win or lose, he loved watching them play). In his last few years, he found much joy in the new community he moved to off Leech Lake in Walker, MN. Here he joined Bible study with close friends, participated in community events, snowmobiling in the winter months, and fishing (particularly loved it when Luke could come out and be with him on the beloved lake). The highlight of his days were spent fishing, boating, hunting, and spending time with family (he loved to be with his children, grandbabies, and close cousins) and friends. Survived in death by his children Meagan, Erica, and Luke, grandchildren Theron, Kaleigha, and Hadley, aunts, uncles, cousins, and a multitude of close friends. According to Allen's wishes, he was cremated and there will be a future celebration of life. This event will be held at at the edge of Leech Lake, where he loved boating and fishing. Please check in closer to May for a finalized date and time of this event. Updates (6/17/22): Sincerest apologies for the lack of updates on the celebration of life event. We have had to delay for a multitude of reasons, but at this time it is looking like it will happen in mid-September. More to come, we all appreciate the continued love, support, and patience as we figure everything out. We look forward to remembering our father with you all.
