Allan was born March 9, 1988, in West Columbia, S.C., to Milton Bedenbaugh Sr and Keri Webb. Allan moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, as a young boy and attended Jefferson High School.

"My Brother Milton, aka Allan, aka Brooottthhheeeerr when I needed something. Where do I begin? We have so many great memories together. Us only being six months apart made us even closer. In addition, we often were navigating the same “streets of life” but never alone.

Your laugh was infectious, and I could hear it out of a crowd. Your walk was one of a kind and I could spot it out of a crowd. And the way you were passively protective will never be forgotten.

And let me not get started on your idol, 2Pac. I still remember waking up at random times to 2Pac playing and hearing it in my sleep. You putting a blue bandana on my head and “daring” me to vacuum to 2Pac with it on.

I could go on for days, but you would probably prefer I didn’t to save us both embarrassment. With that being said, you are loved and will truly be missed. Fly high, listening to your 2Pac, and until we meet again. I love you."
