Allen Bares, Jr. died in selfless service to his community on June 23, 2014. He was born in Houma on October 7, 1962 and raised mostly in the Leblanc Community. He graduated from Erath High in 1982. His love of country music led him to his first career in music as a country music DJ at KROF/KASC as radio personality Mike Daniels. He met the love of his life Tina and they married in 1989. In 1993, the second love of his life was born, his daughter Amy. Thirteen years later God blessed them with their son, James. He had a calling for law enforcement all his life and began his career with the Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office in January of 2002. He served both Iberia and Vermilion Parish where he formed a brotherhood with his fellow officers. He gave his life serving and doing what he loved until his final breath. Allen was a devoted Catholic who was raised in a loving and spiritual home. He loved the Lord and was very blessed in the gift of faith. Allen had a big heart who would give his shirt off his back. There wasn't a stranger he didn't know and made his neighborhood his family. He loved to cook and entertain and blessed his family, neighbors and friends with his large gatherings. He had a wonderful personality and was a friend to everyone and had a smile that could light up a room. He could joke and charm his way into anyone's heart. His presence and spirit will live on forever in the cherished memories of everyone who had the privileged of meeting this hero. He will live on in his children and his fellow law enforcement brothers and sisters and will sit with our Lord and His mother Mary in eternal glory interceding for us all. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Tina; his daughter PFC Amy who he loved more than life itself. She serves our country in the U.S. National Guard, and his son, James, his buddy and his little man; his loving parents Allen Sr. and Lynn Bares, his sister, Claire and her husband Bill Pipes, and Brenda Bares; brother, Kenneth and his wife Melissa Bares. He also leaves behind his five Godchildren who he adored, Ashley Broussard, Drema Bares, Rachel Pipes, Mark Pipes and Gina Boullion; in-laws; numerous nieces and nephews; and cousins. He is preceded in death by paternal grandparents, Edier and Effie Bares; maternal grandparents, the former Mayor Jimmy Vorhoff and Mildred Vorhoff; and a large extended family who he loved to entertain. The family requests that visiting hours be observed at Vincent Funeral Home - Abbeville, 209 S.
