Allen E. Lantagne

On February 11, 2000 he married Kimberly (Hyde) Lantagne in Escanaba. Through the years Allen worked construction, owned and operated Six Pack Transport and later the Retro Station in Escanaba.

Al loved to participate in the tracker pulls at Shakey Lakes, playing his numerous guitars at the local nursing homes, and his very favorite pastime: spending time with his grandchildren. He enthusiastically cheered on the Green Bay Packers and was looking forward to their post season run. He was an avid hunter and enjoyed attending the yearly Whitetails banquet. He played cribbage every week with his wife Kim, aunt Jean Menard, and sister-in-law Jamie Hyde, where he normally lost and complained about it the entire way home. He was incredibly close with his siblings and their children and could be often found dropping in to visit, with or without an invitation. He had a knack for telling colorful stories and his unique sense of humor will be sorely missed.

Allen is survived by his loving wife, six children: Joseph (Amber) Lantagne, Patrick (Amber) Lantagne, Chrissy (Michael) Bettiga, Michael (Bailey) Lantagne, Daniel Lantagne and Edward (Alistar) Wolf, ten grandchildren: Timothy Lantagne, Dominick Lantagne, Kerri Lantagne, Rian Belcher, Daisy Bettiga, Boeden Bettiga, Thatcher Lantagne, Everett Lantagne, Emma Lantagne and Parker Lantagne, Siblings Sandy Delaney, Richard (Linda) Lantagne, Donna (Jim) Pepin and Tammy (Greg) Johnson, sister-in-law Jamie Hyde (Cash Daugherty), brother-in-law James Hyde, and many nieces and nephews.

Allen was preceded in death by his parents, sister: Nancy Lantagne Flores, brother: Raymond Lantagne, brothers-in-law: Edwin “Butch” Baldwin and Johnny “Chip” Delaney, mother-in-law Linda Hyde Gallant and father-in-law Jim Hyde.

In keeping with Allen’s wishes, there will be no public services.

The Crawford Funeral Homes are assisting the family.
