In Memoriam: Cody and Shelby Allen

Posted

John Scarffe, Gilpin County. Two Central City Fire Department fire fighters, Lieutenant Cody Allen, 29, and his wife, Shelby Allen, 27, were found deceased in their home on December 11, 2020, in Central City, Colorado. Cody Allen had been with the Central City Fire Department as a volunteer since July of 2009, and was recently hired full time to the position of lieutenant. 

Shelby Allen was a member of the Fire Department as a volunteer since February 2016. Both Cody and Shelby’s families have been members of this community for many years. 

They grew up in Gilpin County, met, married two years ago, and were looking forward to raising their family in Gilpin County. The cause of death is still being investigated and pursued by the Gilpin County Sheriff’s Office.
