Allan was born in Fremont on July 25, 1952, the son of Harry and LeeAnn Chapman Arp. He attended grade school in Washington, Ne. and high school in Arlington, graduating in 1970. He attended Kearney State college and UNL before coming home to be a full-time farmer and livestock producer. He lived his entire life in the Kennard area on the family farm. He was active in the community serving on the Washington County School Board, on church committees, as a 4-H leader, and as a volunteer scuba diver at the zoo.

He is survived by his wife, Susan; son, Jason (Jennifer); daughter, Michelle Arp Strom, (Seth), and the superstars in his life, his six grandchildren: Cassidy, Taylor and Hayley Arp, and Jacob, Eastan, and Rylee Strom, all of Kennard.
