Blaze C. Gebauer-Allen

LITTLE VALLEY — Blaze C. Gebauer-Allen, 18, passed away following an accident on Sunday (Aug. 30, 2026).

He was born Oct. 15, 2007 in Olean, the son of Cory and Jamie Hahn Allen, who survive.

Blaze was a 2025 graduate of Cattaraugus-Little Valley Central School and CA BOCES in auto tech.

He was an avid outdoorsman, and spent his leisure time outside hunting and fishing. He was very proud of his trophy mounts and had the story to go along with them.

He was employed at Rock City Dodge as a detailer. Prior to that he did concrete jobs with his dad and papa and his brothers. Almost everything he did in life involved his brothers, Dakota and Riley. They were the rock for each other.

Besides his parents, he is survived by three brothers, Dakota (Madison Spink) Gebauer-Allen of Mansfield, Riley (Morgan Rosario) Gebauer-Allen of Randolph and Coy Gebauer-Allen of Little Valley; and two sisters, Taylor Allen Fruehauf of Derby and Torri Gebauer-Allen of Little Valley. Also surviving are his maternal grandparents, Lori and Craig Pangborn of Little Valley; paternal grandparents, Maggie Allen of Little Valley and Dana Allen of Little Valley; his great-grandmother, Louise Reinhardt; great-aunt, Michelle Aldrich; his uncle, Josh (Megan) Hahn of Mansfield; his aunt and uncle, Scott and Lynette Crowell; his new little buddy and nephew, Hudson Gebauer-Allen, who he adored; his many cousins; and his best friend, Dylan Thomas.

He was predeceased by a sister, Trinity Gebauer-Allen; grandfather, James Hahn; uncle, Erik Allen; and great-grandfather, Mike Reinhardt.

Blaze was an amazing boy with so much to give and so much more to experience in a life that was cut way too short.  Almost everything he did in life involved his brothers, Dakota and Riley. The trio was inseparable when they were together. They stuck together like glue and had each others backs.  They were more than brothers, there was a special bond that made them best friends.

Friends may call from 4 to 7 p.m. today (Sept. 3, 2026) at the Mentley Funeral Home Inc., 411 Rock City St. in Little Valley.

Memorials may be made to National Wildlife Turkey Foundation (NWTF) or National Rifle Association.
