Through that, he continued to serve as inspiration for many other players defining what it meant to be a great teammate, competitor and winner.
“He was deeply loved and cared for by his wife, Janelle – whom he referred to as his heart and soul, his daughters Jayla and Loriana and son, Larry III.
“The Jones family and the Cowboys extend their deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers to the Allen family and grieve along with the many other friends and Cowboys teammates that also loved Larry.
“Memorial service arrangements and details will be announced in the near future.”
Allen was one of the best offensive linemen in NFL history, being named a First-team NFL All-Pro seven times in his 14-season career.
