Allen Roy Frederick

Allen Roy Frederick of Logan, Ohio was born in Akron, Ohio on September 3, 1949, and departed from us too soon on February 21, 2026, while at the OSU Ross Heart Hospital, Columbus, OH. His body could no longer fight all the health issues he was facing.

Allen was preceded in death by his mother, Cosma Frederick Ryan, his father Albert S. Frederick, Sr, his stepfather Edward Ryan, his sister JoAnn Frederick James, and his son Keith Shannon Frederick.

He is survived by his devoted wife Renee, his beautiful children Mark (Lori) of Plain City, and Jennifer of Powell, his former wife and mother of his children, Kathy of Powell, brother Albert, Jr. (Jane) of Logan, sisters DiAnn of Logan and Rebecca (David) of Cortland, OH. He is also survived by many nephews and nieces, their spouses, and all their children who he deeply cherished.

Allen was an active member, volunteer and staunch supporter of The Tree Church, Lancaster, OH, and most recently, the first Tree Church campus in Logan, OH. Allen was a graduate of Franklin University, Columbus, and served in both the US Navy and the US Army. He retired from the DLA Training Center in Columbus, was an adjunct instructor at Columbus State Community College and was employed for many years as a safety trainer and consultant with Lancaster Safety Consulting, Inc. in Wexford, PA.

Allen had many hobbies and interests to include camping, hiking, boating, Ham radio club (KD8YYM), volunteering at Burr Oak State Park, cheering on his OSU Buckeyes, spending time with his high school classmates (Sparton’s class of 1967), genealogy research, and serving church guests at Connection Central. He also spent hours and days driving Renee to various locations in support of her passion for bird watching and photography. But most of all, Allen enjoyed talking to people, making new friends, and developing deeper, more meaningful relationships with everyone he knew.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, March 14 at 11:00 am at The Tree Church, 39 Hocking Mall, Logan, Ohio. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the OSU Ross Heart Hospital, any food bank of your choosing, or The Tree Church Lancaster – Not Coming Down Initiative.
