Jeblosky Marques Allen passed away on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville, TN. He was the loving son of Ida and William Wells and Percy Johnson.
Jeblosky was born on March 15, 1981, and attended Paducah Public Schools. He was a member of Washington Street Church in Paducah and was formerly employed as a building engineer and maintenance staff supervisor at the Jackson House Apartments and the W.B. Sanders Retirement Center in Paducah. He was a member of USCCW227 and Carpenters Local 357.
Jeblosky was truly his brother’s keeper. He was known for his beautiful smile and his love and care for others, especially children. He was thought of by many as the little “big brother” because he was always stepping in to help if there was a need. It was not unusual to find him substituting for an absent dad so that no child would feel uncomfortable on those special occasions that required parental involvement.
His children describe him as an awesome dad who loved deeply, but his one flaw was that he gave terrible dating advice. When he wasn’t working or helping someone, he could be found watching the NBA when his Lakers were playing. His favorite NBA player was Kobe Bryant. His other recreational activities included listening to gospel music, playing chess, and playing 2K25 on Xbox.
Preceding him in death were his maternal grandparents, Harry and Flora Allen, and his paternal grandparents, Luther Johnson and O.Z. Sherrill.
