CARL JEROME ALLARD

August 16, 1953 ~ October 27, 2019

On October 27, 2019, Carl Jerome Allard, lowlife biker trash and soulmate to Kelly, passed away and is now riding free. A hard man to kill, medical staff dubbed him ‘The Miracle Man’. Carl passed away from Esophageal Cancer, his second cancer since 1989. An only child born to Lila and Joseph Allard in Empress, AB., Carl spawned nine offspring; Kelci (Clay), Lynsey (Rick), Megan (Peter), Andy (Kyla), Dustin, Arlen (Krissy), Tedd, Joe (Sylvie) and Renee as well as many grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Carl worked on the family farm as a child, running all kinds of equipment at a young age. He loved being an equipment operator and especially using the High Hoe. Carl enjoyed long haul trucking with over two million miles under his belt. Kelly started trucking with him when the kids moved out, but until then, they relied on their radar love. Carl and Kelly had their first date 31 years ago and have been together ever since. Carl even threw away his Little Black Book. His third marriage would be the last. They met when Kelly lived right next door to his first ex-wife. Kelly had two children and Carl adopted them; he stepped in when their bio-dad stepped out. Carl taught Kelly how to ride motorcycle bringing out the crazy biker-bitch in her and she brought out the crazy cat-man in him. Their love for each other was legendary as he was her Sweet Cheeks and she was his Boo Angel. Carl had many sides; wild, passionate, tender, mischievous and loving. He had a way with people, charming many women. Upon meeting him, Kelly’s grandmother told her, she would not worry about Kelly anymore. Carl loved motorcycles and he built his first Harley with his dad at the age of 12 years. He did things his way, far too independent to join a club. The only rules he followed were his own and the only opinions that mattered were his and Kelly’s. Carl loved kids, he melted around babies. An incredible man, husband and father he was man enough to show his feelings. Carl loved animals and would not stand idly by when people were cruel, even teaching some a very painful lesson. While the world is a lesser place by his absence, heaven / the afterlife / whatever; is a much brighter, far more interesting place. As Carl would say, “Freedom”.

“Ride free my love, I will take you with me wherever I go. You always told people that I ‘had your six’, now you will have mine as you watch over me”.

A private time of remembrance will be held by the family. (Condolences may be expressed by visiting our website at http://www.cooksouthland.com) Honoured to serve the family is
