Allen Graham "Blitz" Washburn, a lifelong resident of Sullivan County, passed away on February 22, 2026, in Harris, New York. He was born on August 11, 1956, in Liberty, NY to the late Alfred and Anna Washburn and was raised and educated in Liberty, NY.

Allen was predeceased by his beloved wife, Linda D. Washburn; his parents, Anna and Alfred; his youngest brother, Albert Washburn; his nephew Daniel Honaker; two grandsons, Angel Montalvo and Devin Chapman; and two great‑grandchildren, Colton Reinshagen and Preston Ackerley and a nephew Robert DiChiara.

He is survived by his partner of more than 30 years, Lisa Ackerley of White Sulphur Springs, NY; his children, Christa Reinshagen (Rick) of Loch Sheldrake, NY, Samantha McNeil (Wilson) of Albany, NY, Allen G. Washburn Jr. (Bernice) of Douglasville, GA, Ryan Washburn of Clearwater, FL, and Allen Washburn III and Charles Washburn of Schoharie County, NY.

He is also survived by his stepchildren: Stacey Turner of Albany, NY, Tonya Chapman, Roy Ackerley, Missy Ackerley of White Sulphur Springs, NY and Maria Santos Dunn (Rich) of Loch Sheldrake, NY.

Allen leaves behind his siblings: MaryAnn "Sissy" Honaker of Lebanon, VA, Amber Cole of Monticello, NY, Ann "Mitch" Adkins (Ronnie) of Greensboro, NC, and Arthur "Deek" Washburn of Phillipsort, NY.

He was the proud grandfather of 27 grandchildren and 19 great‑grandchildren, and is also survived by many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Allen was a hard‑working man who spent many years as a mechanic at Robert Green's in Monticello, NY as well as working on farms and in sawmills throughout the county. He enjoyed working with his hands and took pride in every job he did.

When he wasn't working, Allen could often be found relaxing in his chair, watching his favorite sports and shows-football, wrestling, NCIS, FBI, and the Winter Olympics. He had a deep love for animals, especially his many "fur babies," who were always close by, whether on his chair, his bed, or following at his feet.

Allen "Blitz" Washburn will be remembered for his dedication to his family, his unwavering work ethic, and the love he had for the animals who shared his life.
