GOLDEN, Colo. â Central City firefighters and law enforcement officials mourned the death of Cody and Shelby Allen on Friday.
The married couple were dedicated firefighters with the Central City Fire Department. I cannot count the number of times I have picked up my phone to text her, only to remember there is an empty line now, said Gilpin County Deputy Sheriff Amy Collins about her best friend Shelby. I will no longer have those good morning texts from Shelby or random Snapchats from Cody.

CENTRAL CITY, Colo. It doesn t matter that it s snowing outside. It doesn t matter that COVID is forcing people to have to view the funeral at the Gilpin County Fairgrounds like a drive-in movie. What matter is people like Sarah Lawrence are here. Shelby was somebody that I got to know through playing volleyball with her up here in our community, Lawrence said. She was the best volleyball player in the league without question.
