Allen Ray Horge

Allen Ray Horge Age 76, of Eden Prairie, MN, (formerly of St. Louis Park), passed away peacefully on June 25, 2023 after a courageous battle with cancer. Allen was born April 7, 1947 in Crookston, MN, to Raymond Horge and Rae Ann Hanson (Collins), the oldest of six children. Allen graduated from Crookston Central High School in 1965 where he was a multisport athlete (football, basketball, track). In September of 1966, Allen enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he served in the Vietnam War from 1966-1968. On November 1, 1969, Allen married Pamela Renslen and enjoyed 53 years together. Allen was a surveyor and inspector for 40+ years where he made many friends and got to enjoy the outdoors on a daily basis. He was an active member of AA, with 42 years of sobriety, where he was a leader and mentor who was devoted to aiding others in their recovery. Allen was an avid hunter with a special love for the beauty of the Gunflint Trail and Grand Marais, MN. And most importantly, Allen was the #1 fan of his daughters and grandchildren, attending every activity and event that he could to show his support. Those who knew Allen enjoyed his larger than life personality, "the look" he would give you, his love of a good laugh, his great stories, and his big heart. He cared deeply for others, and helped many people with "tough love" moments...just as others had helped him many years ago. Allen is survived by his wife Pamela Horge; daughter Kimberly and husband Steve Griffiths and their sons Caleb and Logan; daughter Nicole and husband Greg Lawrence and their two daughters Ella and Aliyah. He is also survived by his siblings Cathy (Steve) Simmones; Sue Ann (Gary) Brantl, Terry (Richard) Hanson, Timothy Horge, and James (Karen) Horge; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents. Celebration of Life service will be held at St. Philip the Deacon Lutheran Church, 17205 County Road 6, Plymouth, MN 55447 on Friday July 21, 2023 at 2:00 with visitation one hour prior and reception to follow. A private inurnment will be at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. Memorials to the Semper Fi & America's Fund veterans organization
