He is married & has a 9 year old little girl. This is a part of life that one never imagines or plans for. It has been very difficult to accept. Allen Schlapman was an amazing father, husband, brother & son. We will miss him so much. I have been deeply touched by all your well-wishes & prayers. Thank you. God has proven himself faithful to us & has given us great peace amidst this horrible tragedy."
Powers was charged with vehicular homicide and failure to maintain a lane, and the newspaper reports that investigators believed he was driving impaired and were awaiting the return of his blood-alcohol test results, with the possibility of more charges, pending the results. Powers was out on bond for driving under the influence and vehicular assault charges filed by Franklin Police in July.
Schlapman, who is survived by his wife, mother and daughter, was a fiscal analyst with the Virginia Department of Transportation. He attended Blue Ridge Community Church and was a volunteer with Rush Homes. His funeral was held Tuesday (Nov. 27) at the Whitten Timberlake Chapel.
