Mr. James “Allen” Jenkins, 78, of Dobson, North Carolina passed away July 17, 2025. Born December 26, 1946, to the late Cephus L. and Mattie Mae Childress Jenkins. Allen was a devout Christian and faithful servant of the Lord. He was faith-driven in all that he did. A true man of God with an undeniable and unconditional love for his family.

The Lord used him to spread His word, which he did while living his testimony day in and day out. Allen was well known for his incredible voice, and his “theme song,” Old Ship of Zion. He sang gospel music with numerous groups over the years. Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife, Kathryn Fulk Jenkins; daughter, Tamara “Tammy” Jenkins; son, Gregory “Greg” Jenkins; grandchildren, Allison Rogers and fiancé, Alex Hutchens, and Gregory Jenkins; great grandchildren, Kadence Hutchens, and Kasen Hutchens; and brother, Rev.

John 3:16 – 17

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
