Allan Rue Hart Obituary
Allan Rue Hart was born on March 2, 1964 in El Paso, TX and suddenly passed away from this life on April 17, 2021. He was loved deeply by his wife as well as the many people whose dog he had a hand in training. He named his business “Treasure Me Again Canines (TMAC)” because he wanted everyone to treasure again the dog they once loved or had just rescued.
As a child, he helped his paternal grandparents with a church bus ministry, which eventually led him to attend Memphis School of Preaching where he met his future bride, Christine Kepler. They married a few months prior to his graduation in 1994. After school, he decided to be a personal worker instead of a pulpit minister.
This allowed him to dabble in bicycle repair, custom cabinetry building, and working with various individuals with their pet needs at Petco and PetSmart. He began TMAC to reach dogs that had behavior issues that no one else wanted to train. Even through his many health issues, he still spent much time pursuing what he loved, training dogs and teaching others about Christ.
He is survived by his wife, his mother (Berneice Hart of Decatur, IL), and his other mother (Christine’s mom, Dee Kepler of Batesville, MS). He was preceded in death by his father (Milton “Buddy” Hart, d. 1971). His memorial service will be May 2nd at 3:00pm at Forest Hill church of Christ, 3950 Forest Hill Irene Rd. Donations can be made in Allan’s memory to Memphis School of Preaching (3950 Forest Hill Irene Rd, Memphis, TN 38125) or to Sunny Meadows Safe Haven for Pets (4066 New Getwell Rd, Memphis, TN 38118).
