Allan was born November 4, 1948, in Iraan, Texas, to the late Barbara Adams Collett Thurman and “Rusty” Lewis Collett.  He was the eldest of three children.

After graduating from Andrews High School, Allan began his lifelong occupation in the oil field – working at Cabot, Bates and lastly at Key Energy.  He served in the Army as an ammunition specialist during the Vietnam War, where he was stationed in Germany.

Allan married LaDonna Greer Collett in 1999, blending their two families together.

Allan had a passion for history of all aspects; however, he was partial to military history.  He loved to share his vast knowledge of history with any and everyone.  His second passion was pocket watches, and he was never without one – even when the world turned to cellphones to check the time.  He was a prankster and was always ready with a good joke.

He is survived by his wife LaDonna Greer Collett; little sister Cindy Blake, husband Bill; little brother Adam Collett, wife Sue.
