Obituary for Allen K. Tranmer

Allen Keith Tranmer was born December 16, 1957, to Harlan and Marlene (Modlin) Tranmer, in Omaha. He passed away April 8, 2020 at Methodist Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, at the age of 62 years.

Allen grew up on a farm in Decatur, Nebraska until he graduated from Tekamah High School in 1977. In February 1979, he married Carol Miller from Blair, Nebraska. Soon after, in May 1979, their daughter April Renee Tranmer was born. In August 1984, Allen and his family moved to Denver, Colorado, where he worked as a truck driver and front-end loader until November 2017, when he returned home to Tekamah, Nebraska.

Allen’s family always came first and foremost. He never missed an athletic game, school event or life event when it came to April, even if it meant parking a semi on the side of a busy street. He enjoyed hunting and fishing with his father, Harlan and his brother, Roger. He also enjoyed beating his mother, Marlene and sister, Wynelle in card games.

He is survived by his daughter, April Tranmer of Thornton, CO; parents, Harlan and Marlene Tranmer of Tekamah; brother, Roger Tranmer and sister, Wynelle Morrow of Tekamah; an aunt; nieces and a nephew; a great niece and great nephew; cousins; brothers-in-law; friends.

MEMORIAL SERVICE will be held at a later date. We ask that you share any memories or condolences to the Tribute Wall of Allen’s obituary.
