Allen Ray Sparks passed away on September 15th, 2021 at the age of 56. Allen was the son of Ray Marshall Sparks and Frances Baynard Carringan.
Allen's whole life and heart were his two beautiful daughters, Ryleigh Jade Sparks of Ruther Glen, Virginia, and Kinley Ann Sparks, of Boiling Springs, North Carolina. He lovingly referred to Ryleigh as his "Snowflake" and Kinley as his "Bob." In addition to his children and parents he is survived by his wife Gwen Hutto Sparks and brother Kyle Sparks.
If it had to do with cars, Allen knew everything about it. He loved car racing, restoring cars, and building car models. When it came to cars, Allen was the one to go to. From the time he could talk, cars were his obsession, his expertise, his peace, and his passion. Allen had many friends and they usually met Wednesday nights for "The Board Meeting."
A memorial service will be held at 4:00PM on Tuesday, September the 21st at Crowe's Mortuary and Crematory, 118 College Ave, Rutherfordton, NC 28139. Online condolences may be made at www.crowemortuary.com.
