Erik Allan, 67, of Ashland NY passed away on Saturday, April 5, 2025 after a brief illness. He was the son of James and the late Elsie (Sutton) Allan.
Erik lived his entire life in Greene County. He attended Durham Elementary School and was the 8th grade salutatorian. He graduated from Greenville High School in 1975.

Erik was community minded and therefore served on the Town of Ashland Planning Board, was chair of the Green County Planning Board, a member of the Schoharie Watershed Advisory Committee and a founding and permanent member of the Ashland Historical Association.
Erik enjoyed reading, particularly science fiction, and the family book club meetings. He was a member of the APA and played pool at least two nights a week. He kept a garden and carved heart stones, searching the stone walls for the perfect stone.
He was predeceased by his son Micah, his mother Elsie and his brother Matthew.
He is survived by his daughter Erika, his grandsons Tyler Holdridge and Talon Hauser, his father James, his sister Leslie (James) Kudlack, his brothers David and Michael (Donna), his sister-in-law Kathleen, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
