Ken McAllister

James Kenneth "Ken" McAllister, 53, died suddenly at home Wednesday morning, Dec. 24, 2014, surrounded by his family. He was a member of West Cove Holiness Church. He was very affectionate when it came to his spiritual belief. He loved going to church since he was a child. He spent many years traveling and singing in a gospel quartet. He loved mentoring young people and they loved him for the time he sacrificed to be with them. He with his wife, Rena, co-founded the Summer Music Camp. The camp was offered to everyone at no charge so anyone that loved music could attend. He was a wonderful "Cabin Dad." He had a unique love for old things, especially antique cars. He was often told he was born in the wrong century. He was a member of the Dade Cruisers. Most of us, including his family, never knew what he might drive up in next. He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Fay McAllister; grandparents, Roy and Lucille McAllister, Obie "Pop" McLain, Roy and Leona Bailey. He is survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Rena. Best friends, they did everything together work, sing, pray and travel. He also leaves behind a son, Eric McAllister, daughter-in-law, Amber McAllister, and the pride and joy of his life, grandson, Joshua McAllister; two brothers, Mark (Phyllis) McAllister, Mike (Peggy) McAllister, both of Big Cove, Ala.; several nieces and nephews; special friends, Jack and Millie Pollock, Lookout Mountain, Ga.
