Allen Ray Buazard

Allen Ray Buazard, age 57, of Loves Park, Illinois, passed away at home and was found on December 29, 2025. Allen was born on April 8, 1968, at Swedish American Hospital in Rockford, Illinois, where his story began and where many meaningful memories were made throughout his life.

Allen is survived by his beloved daughter, Raelyn Buazard, who was the light of his life and meant the world to him. He is also survived by his daughter, Renae Clark; his mother, Lisa Champion; his sister, Connie Buazard; and his brothers, Matthew Buazard and Michael Buazard. Allen was preceded in death by his father, Claude Wayne Buazard, and his son, Michael Moriarity.

Allen was a hardworking and dedicated man who took pride in providing for those he loved. He completed his education locally and went on to work at SJ Carlson Fire Protection, where he was known for his strong work ethic, reliability, and willingness to help others. He believed in showing up, doing the job right, and standing by his word.

Outside of work, Allen found peace and happiness in the outdoors. He loved fishing and hunting, but his true passion was riding his Ninja Kawasaki motorcycle with his best friend, Scott Nelson, where he felt most free. Music was also a huge part of his life, and one of his most meaningful joys was sharing his love and passion for music with his daughter Raelyn. Those moments—listening, talking, and simply being together—meant everything to him.

Allen will be remembered for his strength, fight, loyalty, and the quiet love he showed in his own way. He lived a life shaped by hard work, deep emotion, and a strong connection to the things and people he cared about most.
