Joseph E. (Hard Belly) Allard

May 15, 1964 – June 26, 2025

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our youngest brother, whose kind spirit, and infectious laughter brought light into the lives of all who knew him. Though life’s journey with him was far too brief, his impact on our hearts and memories he created will remain timeless.

To those who knew him, he was more than a brother, a son, or a friend – he was a confidant, drinking buddy, and a source of endless warmth. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, incredible building skills and countless lives he touched along the way.

He leaves behind, his life partner; Michele (Shelly) Brzezinski, son; Joseph Allard, siblings; Kandi Allard, James (Carole) Allard, Linette (Greg) Steffne, several nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews and many cousins, along with his beloved dog, Atlas and cat Willie.

We invite his friends, family, and loved ones to join us in a visitation on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the O’Riley – Branson Funeral Service & Crematory, 6107 S. East Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46227. Additional visitation will be on Thursday, July 3, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. A Celebration of Joe’s life will follow at 11:00 AM.

He joins God, our parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, a nephew and countless friends in heaven.

Rest peacefully, brother. You may no longer be by our side, but you will forever remain in our hearts.
