Allen Shellenberger (September 15, 1969 – August 13, 2009) was an American drummer who played in the band Lit.
Shellenberger founded Lit in 1989 in Fullerton, California alongside brothers A. Jay and Jeremy Popoff and bassist Kevin Baldes. He remained a member of the band until his death.
In 2008, Shellenberger was diagnosed with a malignant glioma brain tumor and immediately underwent clinical trials, chemotherapy and radiation at the Cedars-Sinai Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute. His treatments were documented in an "ABC World News Tonight" piece that aired in May of that year.[1]
Shellenberger died from the cancer on August 13, 2009, at the age of 39.
