Allen Ben Chrystal-Barker was born to the parents of Cassie Chrystal and Ben Barker on February 18, 1956 in Oklahoma City, OK. Allen was a born again believer and received the Lord as his personal Savior at a young age, and continued to confess his belief in Christ. Shortly after his time with the City of Oklahoma City Sanitation Department, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corp. During his time in the Marine Corp he earned a National Defense metal and Marksmanship badge. Not long after his time in the service he met Sheila Peoples and had two children: Corey Peoples (who preceded him in death), and Monica Peoples. He will be dearly missed.
