Allard College Fund

My name is Julie Allard. Our family was shattered on August 25, 2021 when my husband of 20 years, Curt Allard, died unexpectedly at the age of 53. He had a heart attack in our living room overnight while my 13 year old twin boys, Erik & Steven, and I were sleeping. We were all traumatized to find his body when we woke up to get ready for work and school. Since people have asked how they can help us, I am creating this to start a college fund for our boys. I hope it will help them succeed in life now that the anchor of our family, a stay-at-home dad, is gone forever leaving us to wonder how we will ever live without him and creating a hole in our hearts that I'm sure will never heal. We would appreciate contributions in any amount. Thank you for your support!

More about Curt:

He was smart, funny, tough, loyal and kind. Originally from Pocatello, ID, he grew up in Rockville, MD and was residing in Ijamsville, MD at the time of his death.

He wasn’t a desk job type of guy. He preferred construction and for 10 years was the owner/operator of his own small business, Castle Floors Inc. When the boys were 4, the devoted Dad gave up his business to be a stay-at-home Dad which he did for 8 years until his death. Being a handy guy around the house, he was happy to help friends, family, and neighbors with their home projects when he wasn’t doing his own.

Those closest to him understood his passion for football. It didn’t matter if it was his favorite Minnesota Vikings or watching his boys play for MAYAA in Mt. Airy. Before games, it was common for him to blast an AC/DC song to inspire the boys. He loved everything viking and castles, to the extent he and I traveled to Iceland, Scotland and Ireland. He loved history and learning about pretty much anything including topics such as wars, science, politics, aliens. Other favorites include trips camping in Dolly Sods, WV and family beach trips to Outer Banks or Myrtle Beach.
