Allen DeWain Jenkins was the only child born to the late Hattie Langston-Jenkins,
on March 11, 1964. After his Mother's untimely passing in a car accident, while he
was yet still a small boy, Allen DeWain was adopted and reared by his Maternal
Grandmother, the late Lindie Mae Langston, along with his two Aunts, who were
small children, as well, Yvonne and Shirley.
Allen DeWain was educated in the Humphreys County Public Schools Systems. As a
teenager, he also attended the Mississippi Job Corps Center. Moreso, "Skool-Boy",
as many may know him, without a doubt, received quite a bit of knowledge on the
Streets of Life. But, most importantly, he was saved and had a personal relationship
with God, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Allen DeWain transitioned from his earthly body, after a lengthy illness, to be pre-
sent with the Lord, on Wednesday, December 14, 2022. Welcoming him to his

heavenly home and embracing him in their arms and smiles are: his Mom, Hattie,
Grandma, Lindie, Aunt Cleotha "Bump"' Langston, Uncle J.T. Langston, and many
other ancestors.
