In Memory of Dexter Allen
In Memory of Dexter Allen
In the night of 23rd Dec, a commercial flight from Baku (Azerbaijan) to Aktau (Kazakhstan) crashed shortly after take off. There were no survivors from the 23 people onboard. It deeply saddens me to have to inform you that Dexter Allen, was one of the passengers.
I have included a photo of Dexter that is very much the Dexter that I knew ... he always had a big smile on his face ! I am sure that those of you that knew him will also remember him this way.
Our most heartfelt feelings of sorrow go out to his wife, Susie, his teenage children Darren and Rachelle, to his parents Trevor and Phyllis and to all of his family. May he rest in peace.

Dear Susie, Darren and Rachelle,
My condolences from the bottom of my heart, it hurts even to write these words.
We will always remember Dexter and will be reminded of him by the big hole he leaves behind in the world and in the hearts of Louise, our children and mine.
May the love of family and friends comfort you.
Richard & Louise van der Tuin
Dear Rachelle,
Wow, we have been through so much together, through the good times and the bad. I really miss you and every night I think about all our great memories. But I guess its time for us to make more…not together though. I’m so sorry that you have to go through this. But like Anita says, everything happens for a reason. She told me you and her talked awhile. And I hope that really helped you. Anita is a great girl and she’s a very great Christian girl. She helped me with my problems in the summer. I love you so much and before you left I was addicted to you and your family. I will always remember that time when we were at your first house you lived in and I sprayed your mom with the faucet water- Hilarious. And the first time I heard your dog snore. We’ve been through a couple fights but we always made it through. And please feel free to call me anytime! I don’t care if I’m in school or 2 am my time I will always have time to talk to you
Dear Mrs. Allen and Darren,
You guys are great! Mrs. Allen, you are the best mom I have ever met! You raised Rachelle and Darren perfectly, and I hope one day I’ll be exactly like you, a cool mom! Ha! Darren, you’re not the nicest brother of all but I had so much fun on the 4th of July! That was the best month I have ever had!
I miss you all and I give you my greatest condolences!
And to the other Allen family I did not yet get to meet, I bet you guys are just as great as Rachelle, Mrs. Allen, And Darren! Rachelle and I are hoping that I will be able to come to Australia and meet you all! Mr. Allen was a great husband and father! I will miss him dearly!
I love you all and I hope you have a great new year 2006!
Yours Always,
Hannah Rose Emami
Rachelle,
I miss you so much. I only wish that I could be there for you right now. I never expected anything like this to happen. You have no idea what I would give to see you. I remember all of the fun that we had together, all of our jokes, all of our pranks, even the times that we got in trouble. I am constantly praying that you and your family are at peace, even though it is a rough time. Your Dad was so cool. I remember he was pretty funny. I know that He is in a good place. Once again, I miss you so much, it seems like it has been years since I have seen you, but it has only been about a year. Everything took us farther apart, Moving schools, you moving houses, then me moving here, and now you and Europe. I will always remember you as my BFF though. We had so much fun. I remember our box...and our notes and all of the fun that we had. You were so much fun to be with. And you still are. I still have every note that you wrote me. But I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. You guys do not deserve it at all. Remember though, when you reach Heaven you will meet him again. I love you more than you know, and even though I am miles away, I will always be here to talk to you. You have my e-mail and stuff so keep in touch.
Dear Darren and Mrs. Suzie,
I am always praying for you guys no matter what. I am so sorry that you guys are having to go through this. You guys are totally awesome and We love you guys. I miss yall and someday hope to see yall again.
Remember I am constantly praying for you and thinking about you.
My family says that they also miss you guys and are deeply sorry.
Remember that the Lord always takes care of HIs children, Trust Him and He will take away all of your sorrows, renewing your soul.
much love to all of you guys,
Sarah Stephens
Dear Susie,
I know that there is nothing in the world I could say or do to truly ease the pain you must be feeling right now, but please remember that my thoughts are with both you and the kids.
Dexter was a very wonderful and caring individual. I considered him a very special friend as well as a co-worker. Many times when I would be down in the dumps, no matter what the problem or how big, I could always count on Dexter to come in with his smile and make things bearable.
There's not much else I can say right now, but please note that anybody that ever truly knew Dexter will truly miss him and his cheerful presence. I hope that once things settle down, you will be able to stay in touch.
Your Friend,
Marianne Garcia
Darren/Susie/Rashelle

Dear Susie, Rache and Darren.
Our condolences. Dexter was a excellent person I remember him in my first time at KTC, a big smile was the first that I saw in him and shaking my hand he told me welcome to KTC, and day after day he was jovial. The human quality of that man was unique. He sent me this message one month ago “ANGELS EXIST but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS”. Deyne and Mabel Carrasco.
Dear Allen Family:
I was deeply saddened by the news of your loss. My wife and I pray that God will give your family comfort and strength during this time. I will always remember Dexters enchanting smile and consider myself a blessed man for having the opportunity to have known him. He will be greatly missed by me and all of those that knew him at the Training Center.

Dear Allen Family,
I worked with Dexter for a few months travelling CAG and teaching at UTC ; and I will always remember him as good-spirited, full of energy, and proud of his family. We will all miss him. All the strength and God's blessing for your family.
Dear Mrs. Allen and family,

Gilberto R. Guerrero
Dear Susie, Darren, and Rachelle,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. We think of you constantly and wish there were someway we could take away your pain in this time. We can only offer our love, sympathy and prayers and hope it helps. We are always here for you and will keep you in our prayers.
I’ll never forget when I first met Dexter, he impressed me, first as being a genuine and honest person and he was just nice to everyone. He made it easy to become his friend. I still feel the same way about him today. Dexter’s personality was envied by many, including myself. I wanted you to know this because Dexter was a very good man and a very good person. He forever will be our very good friend. I’m just proud that he thought enough of me to call me his friend.
In times like this, we need to have faith in what we believe. I believe that Dexter was a very good person and lived his life with respect for others and always treated everyone with dignity and respect. I have faith that he is in a better place. I have faith he is heaven. Sometimes it’s very hard for us to understand why a love one is taken from us but we need to have faith that they are part of a bigger plan. Have faith that god will help you through this time. Have faith that one day we all will meet again. And if I know Dexter his first words will be “ hey buddy! Lets have a party”. That’s how we will remember Dexter.
We will never forget the wonderful times we had together with you, Dexter and the kids. Whether it was a day at the lake seadooing or a Crawfish Boil, we always enjoyed yawl’s company. We have a great friendship with you guys and still always will. Dexter Allen was a great father, husband and friend. Dexter Allen was a great man. Remember his words and laughter. We always will.
Love you guy's always; Pat, Barbara, Sam, & Becka Theriot
Allen & family,
We were very saddend to hear of your loss. Dexter was a great man, he was always there to lend a helping hand when you need it & no matter what was going on he had that big smile on his face. He will be greatly missed & remembered in our prayers.
James & Misty Covin

Dear Susie, Darren and Rachelle,
I was very sorry to hear the terrible news regarding Dexter.
I and my wife Nigar are condoling with you on the loss of your husband.
He was a great man and I appreciate my work with him in Tulsa, KTC very much. I was staying in touch with him during his visits to UTC in UK as well.
I was very happy, that he was transferred to CAG to work from Baku, my home city, but I could never expect, that this assignment can be so short.
Darren and Rachelle can be proud of their father!
May he rest in peace!
Regards,
Jeyhun and Nigar
I was probably one of the last persons to speak to Dexter over the phone. I met him once. I was always impressed by his incredible optimism and positiveness. I would like to send my deepest condoleances to his wife and children. May his soul rest in peace.
God bless you all.
To Dexter's Family,
My wife and I wish to express our condolences in this terrible
loss. As we recover from shock, we would never understand the pain
that you are going thru now. May the fact that millions of people who never knew or met Dexter, are grieving with you, help you find comfort during this period of sadness. He played a huge role in
Schlumberger Knowledge Delivery in NAIT and I am very grateful to have
known him during that short period of time.
Sincerest condolences,
Kelvin & Jane
Dear Susie, Darren and Rachelle,
I deeply wish to also extend my condolences and pray to the family. Although I did not have the pleasure of working one on one with Dexter, I can say that from the very first time we did meet it was an honor to meet such a cheerful individual.
He will always be remembered in mind and hearts on everyone.
Nathan Roy & family

Dear Susie Darren And Rachelle
Please accept my condolences.
Dexter was always such a joy to work with, and his smile is the thing I will always remember about him. I cannot begin to imagine how much you must miss him when those of us who only know him at work feel his loss so keenly.
I hope that you will find some comfort in the knowledge of how well liked he was, and that he will remain in the hearts of so many people who's lives he touched both as a colleague and a teacher as well as a friend.
Michelle Mathers
I was opportuned to shake his hands in UTC (UK) after hearing alot about him,i must tell you all is a model i feel i should personally emulate.The way he talked,lectured,smiled,inshort so calm and humble a person of his level.We talked and i was encouraged and i even gave him an assignment which he promised giving me the solutions.Each time i looked at his picture,i smiled because he is putting on a smilling face.I pray that the almighty God will put smile on the face of his family.
Rest in peace!!!
Dear Allen Family,
I was shucked by the news of your loss.
I have to say very sorry that we have lost our Father of the Training & Development of the Maintenance and our example within Slb.
Allen was a perfect person, he kept a huge memory in our life, his initiatives & supports are much appreciated.

Dear Susie, Darren and Rachelle,
I was and am still shocked with the news that Dexter is no more with us. I shared the same office with a face to face desk for last one and half year. I will always remember Dexter coming through the office door with a big smile in his face.
We pray for his departed soul. May The Almighty give you the strength to bear this loss.
Sharmin and Ashraf
Dear Susie and family,
I met Dexter while I was an instructor in KTC. He was a fine man and a great example. I always enjoyed his smile and conversations we had. He always could find the silver lining to anything.
I am sure God has blessed his soul and his spirit will continue to touch.
Respectfully,
Phil Strassle
Dear Rachelle and family,
It is with a heavy heart that I write these words. There is nothing that can be said that can ever be said that can replace Dexter. The time I spent working with Dexter in Canada was always very special. He will be missed but always remembered.
Although I have never met you I feel that I know you. Dexter always talked about you and was so proud of his family. It is my wish that God will undertake a work in you lives to help heal you hearts in this time of sorrow.
Morris Jackson
I never met Dexter personally.... but we exchanged emails whenever there was a problem, as is usual in SLB. Sometimes my emails were hard (because we are usually under pressure in operations) but Dexter always came back with something reassuring and calming in all situations.
We would fill out pages and pages if we were left to speak of Dexter......
May his gentle soul rest in peace. I pray the good Lord to grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss. God's blessing in Jesus name. Amen.
Dear Susie,Darren and Rachelle,
With deep sence of sorrow and grief,i share with you your pain in this tragic time.
Truely we have lost a great friend,colleague,and a dear brother but surely he lives forever in our hearts.
Dexter,your bright smiles will never fade away,it will continue to glow in our minds.
Dear Mrs. Allen and Family,
I never had the privilage of knowing Dexter but I my sympathy goes out to you and your family. I rescently lost my Dad although not as sudden as loss as you have but a loss none the less. If you are as blessed with good family and friends as I am you will find it easier to get through these hard times. Just know our prayers go out for you and your family.

Dear Susie, Darren and Rachelle,
I shared an office with Dexter for the last 3 years at KTC. He was a GREAT office mate, as he always had a good word, great spirit and willing to help any way he could if needed. Working together on projects should his diligence and his striving for excellence.
The office was always decorated with pictures of the family and drawings from the kids. He always spoke of his family with love and pride.
Dexter was a great example of the quality people working within Schlumberger. He will be greatly missed by those who knew him.
Our family will always have a place in our hearts and prayers for the Allen family.
I consider it a great privelege to have known and worked wih Dexter.
Love and prayers,
Jerry, Richelle and the Murphy family
Dear Allen Family,
Dexter was one of my first Schlumberger friends. I met Dexter as an Intern in Laredo, TX when he came there for a couple of weeks to do some training. Dexter took me to dinner almost every night and helped me make it through a tough Summer Internship Program. I would of never joined Schlumberger if I had not met Dexter that summer.
I always looked forward to my time at Kellyville because I knew I would get a chance to see Dexter's heart-warming smile and hear his contagious laugh. Dexter possessed this amazing love for Life that was influential on my own. I will miss him with all of my heart.
God Bless the Allen Family.
My Most Deep Condolences,

Susie,
I want you to know that is was absolutely wonderful meeting Dexter and yourself. You are wonderful people and we are praying for you here. I know that these words do not fill the empty spot in your heart but I do hope that they will offer some comfort. Dexter was a great man. I am terribly sorry for your loss.
Darren & Rachelle,
I know that this is one of the hardest times that you will have in life, but just remember that your dad is watching over you and smiling everytime that you do something wonderful or make a great accomplishment. Keep him in your heart always and remember that he loved you immensely. Your dad was a great man and had wonderful posetive visions for the future for you and also for people within Schlumberger. He had a great posetive outlook on almost everything that I ever spoke with him about. Just try your very best to keep your head up, be posetive, and try your hardest at everything that you do just as Dexter did and you will go far and make him proud. We are praying for you.
Steven Campbell & family
Dear Susie, Rachelle and Darren,
Sometimes words can't alleviate a pain like this. Just wanted to say that Dexter was a good man, an excellent father and husband to feel proud of, and since I had the pleasure to work with him, he was an excellent professional, always with the best attitude.
Your dad is alive and always will stay by your side.
With love, Cristina, Camila, Sofia and Raul

I met Dexter in my OTS 2 class years ago and immediately loved him. He was determined to pass the class and he did. I will like to say that it is truly sad that he left us so soon. To the family I pray that you will find the heart to keep going as this is what he would have wanted.
God bless.
Dear Susie, Darren, and Rachelle
Our deepest condolences on the loss of Dexter.
I had the chance to work with Dexter both in Perth and Moomba and will always remember his positive attitude and outlook on all things in life.

Dear Allen Family,
I was so shocked to hear the tragic news. Please accept my condolences.
I worked with Dexter in Perth when based in Canning Vale. His positive approach to life inspired me a lot. It still does to this day.
His legacy will not be forgotten.
George Murphy
Dear Susie, Darren, and Rachelle,
I was lucky to have Dexter stop by the Accounting office at Kellyville to answer and give me a chance to know him a fair amount. He took on the facility maintenance first, then got to do the training he wanted to do, and his pleasure in that was clear. His students and the instructors he directed were fortunate to have him lead them.
We'll miss his good humor and warmth, and the possibility that he would drop by again.
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.
With love and happy memories, Judy Cla
Hi susie...we are so sorry..receive our condolences..we were remembering both of you on your farewell party..dancing,it was very fun...we are praying for all of you...dont't forget you have two Colombian friends in which you can always count..big hug for you and your family.

Dear Susie and family,
We are just finding out about Dexter and wanted to add our few words of love and encouragement in your continued days of dealing with him being gone. Dexter was an awesome man, a good friend and we know just from the brief interactions we had with all of you, he was an awesome husband and father. As many have shared, his warmth, friendliness and love of life were expressed every day.
Our greatest comfort, and we pray yours as well, was Dexter's faith, expressed many times in discussion as well as in the way he lived. We know that can't take away the pain and grief of his loss, but it does give a hope for the future. We pray that you will feel God's comfort as the Psalmist promises, as you continue to walk through this valley. Our love and prayers are with you.
Michael and Rachel Samuelson
Dear Susie, Darren and Rachelle,
My condolences for our big loss.
We only met once in Baku, and it was clear what a great man Dexter is. It is a heart breaking to see what happend and I pray for you and and family, and rest assured you can always count on me for any future matters.
May God, great love of family and all your friends assist and confort you.
Sherif Foda
Dear Susie, Darren and Rachelle,
Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss.
We were both extremely shocked and saddened to hear about this terrible tragedy and were lost for words.
I had the great pleasure of working with Dexter at KTC for 2 years and he always had a smile on his face and was always willing to help you out in one way or another, be it in the classroom or down-the-hill. The same can be said outside of work where his great character always shone through. I met him again back in October 2005 during a visit in Baku, and it's terrible to think now that that was the last time I would see him.
Our thoughts are with you all in your time of mourning.
Carl, Karen and Adam Johnson
Dear Susie, Darren and Rachelle,
My families condolences on your families untimely loss.
I remember Dexter as a great workmate and new found freind who was always avaialble to assist you and he always ensured that you remembered him with a smile.
May his good memory and your family and freinds ease and comfort you at this time.
God Bless you all.
Wayne D. Murphy and family(Canada)
Dexter was more than an just a service delivery manager, more than just an instructor, more than just a co-worker, more than just a friend and I would imagine he would have been more than just a father and husband.
Dexter brought alot to the world in his short time in it, he shared an enthusiasm for bringing the best out of people and in his accomplishments he spread a belief that so many could achieve new opportunities and new beginnings.
He was the sort of person you would go to for advice, seek out his opinion or just look forward to the next time you would see or talk to him again.
Dexter will be missed in so many ways but remembered in so many others.
... One of the Well Services Training, Development, Staffing Alumni.
Dear Susie, Darren and Rachelle.
My condolences go out to you and your family.
Dexter's loss as a Husband, Son and Father will feel unbearable. I am sure the memories and achievements of Dexter will give you and your family strength and encouragement now and in the future.
I was hired on in Moomba, Australia by Dexter as my Maintenance Supervisor, he has helped and supported me many times in my career from that point until present. He was a man that earned respect from all that came into contact wth him.
I live in Perth Australia..if there is anything at anytime where I can be of assistance to you and your family, please do not hesitate to contact me.
My prayers go to you and your family.

To whom so ever,
Dexter was the eldest son of Trevor &phyllis,&brother to Roystone &Adrian & wife Maria,& one & only Sister Sandra Moore, & brother-inlaw Erroll Moore. He truly has left us with a challenge & was our greatest pleasure to know him and love him as a family member, however the most profound gratitude has to be given to his parents for being his innitial tower of support, and to his wife Susie and children Darren & Rachelle to uphold and continue this strong legacy of optimisim & positiveness .
My dear Susie, Darren & Rachelle,
It took me awhile to actually able to write this to you as I feel so much pain every time I tried. But I am glad that I managed to get in touch with you for at least I know how you and the kids were doing. I truly understand how much you are going through and wish I would be there for you all, as much as you guys had been for me back in Tulsa. Our two years in Tulsa together were wonderful because your family made mine so much part of yours. The many nights you guys had Faisal & Adilah for a sleepover & how we used to freak out when Milo approached us and Dexter would lock poor Milo out of the house...till the days the kids were buddies to Milo!
I would never forget our dearest friend, Dexter who would go all the way out to cook for me, his specialty...Briyani & all those beautiful curries. And when I was craving for it again, there he went... more briyanis!!! That day, when we spent the night together in your new home in Tulsa just before we left for Mumbai, was truly our ‘Last Supper’ together with Dexter. That, I will never ever forget.
Dexter was truly one amazing guy. Someone so loving, caring and a genuinely true friend but sadly, he had to leave us so soon...something that I still find hard to believe and painful to accept. But it’s God’s willing that he left us and I know he is in a better place.
Susie, Darren and Rachelle, we will always have you and family in our prayers. Though your lives may change but remember, we are friends forever. You are welcome to stay with us anytime. If one day, you decide to take a break, come over to Mumbai or wherever we may be. I know you guys will be strong. I’m sure Dexter would want that as much though with a heavy heart, he had left all of you and for all the love he had for his dear family. To me, he is very much alive in my thoughts.
God bless all of you and may our dearest Dexter rest in peace.
With all our Luv,

Der Susie, Darren, and Rachelle,
It was a huge shock to hear the news about your family's loss. To myself and the rest of the Whitechurch Family here in England it took our breath away. We all know you have lost your best friend and soul-mate. Darren and Rachelle have lost their best friend and a loving father. I will always cherrish the time Dexter spent a Sunday at our home and enjoyed a nice meal with the whole family. We had great fellowship.
I will also always remember the kindness you showed to me when at your home in Tulsa. One special time going around and seeing all the lovely Christmas light dislays throughout the city. I know Dexter will want you to have a happy life and know he is waiting beside our Lord for when it is time for us to join him there. Your family will always have a special place in our hearts and a place to come visit.

Dear Susie,Darren and Rachelle,
Our sincerest sympathy on your loss of Dexter. Our hearts go out to you during this difficult time.
I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet and spend some time with your family in Tulsa. My family was lucky enough to have spent a brief time with Dexter here in Canada and were able to share a first for him: viewing his first frozen lake(Lake Louise). They will also remember him as "that guy with the smile".
Dexter will be remembered in SLB for his contributions in developing the maintenance staff around the world and making vast improvements in the maintenace training tools in KLC.
Our hope for you is that you can all make it through these tough times and go on to enjoy life with a joyful spirit that will make your husband and father continue to smile. He will always be proud.
Thinking of you and hoping we can some day still get the chance to show you the mountains in Alberta.

To the Allen Family,
I had the pleasure of meeting Dexter last August in Kellyville. I was his instructor for the Injury Prevention Program. In life you get to meet special people sometimes for just a very short time. It was during that week that he received the word of his transfer. I thought to myself how much this man embraced the aspect of passing his knowledge to others. I knew that he would be a strong force for our program. I am a strong believer in that the measure of a man is not what he is going to do but in what he has done. And dexter made such a diffference for many. Those he knew for a long time and those who had the pleasure of meeting him for only five days. I along with you will always remember him.

Dear Susie, Darren and Rachelle
Firstly let me introduce myself, my name is Sarah Stewart from Aberdeen in Scotland, and I to lost a member of my family in the plane crash, my father Ian Hardy (Jim).
We are so very sorry for the loss of your husband and Father, and have thought of you so very often over the past 8 weeks. 8 weeks it could be a year or 2 days, time seems to have left us.
I hope you are managing each day and are finding support and comfort in your family and friends. I know that for my mum, Jeneffer, she has taken alot of strength from her grandchildren friends and family. I hope l have not upset you by me placing a message, I just wanted to let you know that we have been thinking of you so very much.
On the 20th January at my fathers funeral we prayed for you all, and the other families whose lives have been torn appart.
Our thoughts, prayers, condolences and unspoken feelings go out to you all.
Sarah, Ryan, Benjamin and Connor
Dexter was as my guardian throughout my short stay in KTC for the different trainings I have attended. He took personal interest in my development as an ET (Electronic Technician) therefore I regret his sudden passing away to the great beyond but God knows the best. May the Almighty God grant the family the fortidude to bear the loss.
