Chris Allen

October 16, 2023

It is with profound sadness that we accept the departure of our friend and colleague Chris Allen. Chris was core to the Madstone Consulting Group and is irreplaceable. Words can never truly express our gratitude to Chris and his family for his immeasurable contributions on a professional and personal level. Those who had the pleasure of working with Chris were always left better. Chris had unique gifts in logic, programming, systems, strategy, and solutioning that are already missed by the Madstone Group and our clients. He shared his skills and knowledge unconditionally and made each person feel important and unique. To those clients who supported Chris in his final year of work, on behalf of Chris, his family, and the leadership team at Madstone, we are unable to find the words to express our deep gratitude. We hope his work product remains in use for many years to come.  

Chris tragically lost his battle with cancer on October 16, 2023. We appreciate his strength, courage, and unwavering commitment to remaining his true self throughout his battle. Chris never let his challenge change his optimism, sense of humour, and care for his clients, friends, and family. Celebration of Life arrangements are being made by the family and will be posted shortly for those who can attend. There is a Thankbox digital board for you to share with his family your words of appreciation for the impact Chris has left with you. https://www.thankbox.com/app/thankbox/eKGDtLR8
