Denton High Mourns Loss of Senior Tro’mario Allen Jr.

Denton ISD is mourning the sudden loss of one of its brightest young athletes. Tro’mario Allen Jr., an 18-year-old senior at Denton High School, passed away unexpectedly over the weekend.

Allen, a standout defensive back for the Broncos and a track star, was remembered as a player who brought energy, joy, and constant positivity to his team. Just days before his passing, Allen recorded an interception in Denton’s season opener against Lake Dallas. Last season, he tallied 40 tackles, three interceptions, and a forced fumble, according to MaxPreps.

The Denton football program shared a heartfelt tribute on social media, describing him as “a kid full of energy, always smiling, and loved by so many.” Teammates and coaches echoed those words, sharing memories and grief across platforms.

Denton ISD released a statement saying, “It is with profound sadness that Denton ISD shares the passing of a Denton High School student earlier this week. Out of respect for the family’s privacy, no further details will be released. The loss of a student is heartbreaking for a school community, and support has been made available for both students and staff. Counseling professionals have been on campus to provide comfort and guidance for students whose parents have given consent. We ask that the community keep the student’s loved ones, friends, and the Bronco family in their thoughts during this very difficult time.”

Allen’s impact on the field and within the Denton community will not be forgotten.
