Four years after graduating from Manchester High School in 1974, Allen married Cynthia Mimlitz. Together they had one daughter, Tara Eads and one son, Mitch Eads. Later he married Renee Copeland in 1994. They had three daughters.

Allen had a true love for the outdoors. For those who knew him they knew the passion he had for hunting, fishing, and most of all trail riding on horseback with friends. He also loved driving big trucks. This could be seen by the jobs he had in his life. From 1996 to 2001 he drove truck for Freeway Trucking. He then moved on to driving  for Eads & Son Bulldozing Inc., Lagro, Indiana and was there for the last 18 years. During the last two years, Allen also worked for Quinn & Sons in Urbana driving dump truck.
