On December 3, 1980, God blessed Allen "Keebler" and Anna "Connie" Arvie with their 3rd child, Allen Paul. Allen Paul who was lovingly known as "AP" or "Boo," was a happy soul. At the tender age of six, "AP" was involved in a terrible accident where he was trampled by a horse. He was hospitalized for approximately six months, and during that time doctors gave a grim prognosis. "AP" beat the odds and recovered, going on to live life until the ripe age of 44 when he entered his eternal rest in his bedroom, his place of solace. "AP" was one of a kind. He made people laugh, he loved family, and he loved God. He was an active member of St. Joseph Catholic Church all his life. "AP" loved wrestling! All his siblings, nieces, and nephews can probably tell stories of times he used wrestling moves or times he "took them to boot camp!" "AP" will always be remembered as the family member that could remind you of birthdays and memories of things that happened back in the day. "AP" was a loving son, brother, uncle, and friend. He will be unconditionally loved and forever missed by all who knew him.

Those left to cherish "AP's" memory include his father, Allen James Arvie; two brothers, Damian Arvie and wife Katie, and Adam Arvie; one sister, Tobey Carrier and husband Chad; six nieces, Alanna Arvie (Godchild), Trinity Williams, Autumn Williams (Godchild), Victoria Carrier, Lizzie Williams, and Shamariah Joubert; five nephews, Mackenzie Carrier, Isaac Carrier, Braxtyn Williams, Dajavon Wilson, and Adam Arvie; and one great niece, Anna Faye Carrier.

"AP" is preceded in death by his mother, Anna Rena Ceaser Arvie.
