Robin Dane Allen
ODESSA — With great sorrow I inform our extended family, Tae Kwon-Do family, and friends of the loss of my beloved son, Robin Dane Allen. Robin was suddenly taken from us in a tragic accident on June 13, 2003, while visiting his extended family in Corpus Christi. Robin’s greatest passions in life were family, friends, his love of music and Tae Kwon-Do. Robin’s passion for music was only superseded by his talent to create his music, and share it with others. Through Robin’s guitar he poured out his heart and soul. He expressed his feelings in the music he created and played. Robin had planned to pursue his love of music at Texas A&M Corpus Christi this fall, and Robin’s future goal was to be a studio and performing musician.
Robin was born November 16, 1982, in Odessa, Texas. He graduated from Odessa High School in 2001. While at OHS he was named ECISD Outstanding English Student 2001, was a member and Team Captain of the OHS Academic Decathlon Team, a member of Jazz Band, and participated in the OHS Marching Band.
Robin’s second home was Nunez’s Tae Kwon-Do Studio. He began his training at the age of five and reached the goal of second Degree Black Belt under Master Fabian Nunez. Robin’s accomplishments and accolades included: Assistant Instructor, Milam Elementary Tae Kwon-Do Instructor, and numerous awards for his performance at local and national tournaments. Robin was a certified referee, a founding member of the American Tae Kwon-Do Federation International and a Gold and Bronze medalist at the US National Tae Kwon-Do Championships in 1999. Robin was known to all as a dedicated, loyal, and conscientious student, as well as a patient, passionate, and knowledgeable instructor. He was a role model and mentor to many young adults. The Tenets of Tae Kwon-Do are:
Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control and Indomitable Spirit. Robin exemplified these tenets in his life. Robin faced the challenges associated with youth and developing into a young adult, and making the right choices and being a role model was not always the most popular or easiest avenue. However, Robin chose to have a positive impact on his peers and the children he had the opportunity to work with. His talent and knowledge were an asset to all.
Robin is survived by his mother, Peggy Allen; grandmother, Nell Day, grandfather Charles Harwell of Odessa, and brother, Russell Allen and his fiance, L’Don O’Bannion of Frisco.; his uncle and aunt, Larry and Leslie Harwell of Paris, uncle, David Harwell of Washington, D.C., and aunt, Kris Farrow of Houston; and as Robin always referred “for all practical purposes, my dad, Fabian Nunez, and the Nunez family”, his long time and dear friends, the Estrada’s; Claudio, Pat, Adrian, and Jay and Jennifer, and his extended Tae Kwon-Do Family. In lieu of flowers or any sign of sympathy and love, the family needs assistance with the final arrangements for Robin.
If you would like to make a donation please send or drop by your contribution to Western National Bank, 2710 N. Grandview, Odessa, TX 79762. Send to Peggy Allen c/o Robin Allen.
