Tribute released to David Allen – Reading

A tribute has been released today (13/6) on behalf of the family of David Allen following the sentencing of Jacob Trussler for murder.

His family said:

“Firstly, we are a large family who will never get over the loss of a father, grandfather and friend. A person within a close family, who we had only ever received help and good from.

“The loss of David is greater than any sentencing to us as a family. We will remember the good times, not what happened to him and we will remember him every day as a family.

“David was taken too soon and in circumstances that we hope and pray no other family has to go through.

“The events since December have been unbearable but made more possible to move on with because of the fantastic service of the police, emergency services and liaison officers to name a few.

“From the respect we were shown as a grieving family, we would like to say a big thank you to each and every one of you that have been involved in this senseless situation.

“Thank you from all of the Allen family.”
