On the fourth day of March, 1980 in Pahokee, Florida William Lee Allen Jr. and Pearline Ferguson gave birth to their son Christopher Jermaine Allen. Jermaine A.K.A. Chris was born in Pahokee, but was raised in Ft. Pierce, Florida. After many years he moved back to Okeechobee where he loved fishing and spending time with his many nieces and nephews. In the year of 2012 Maine accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. He witnessed to everyone he talked to about God's Word. He firmly believed that God's purpose was for him to spread his Word. He is preceded in death by great grandparents, grandparents, brother, sisters and uncle.

Psalm 139King James Version (KJV)
139 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
