Glenn was a year old when his family moved to Carlsbad, NM.  He graduated from Carlsbad High School in 1969. He went on to work at Duval, American National, Cass Construction, IMC and retired from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. During his career he worked as an electrician, carpenter, salesman, construction worker and as a hoisting electrician and trainer.

Glenn was dearly loved by all with his charming personality and contagious laugh. He always worked hard on any project and was always willing to lend a helping hand. He built houses, shops, porches, pens, finished cement, tiled, and did many remodeling projects over the years.

He had an adventurous spirit and throughout his life he made many memories hunting, fishing, going on buggy rides with friends he considered family, motorcycling, SCUBA diving, traveling for pleasure and work. He loved dancing, spending time with friends and he could sure cut a rug!

Glenn enjoyed coaching girls’ softball for numerous years. He loved the game and cherished the time he coached his team the “IMC Aces”.

In 2004, Glenn married the love of his life Beverly. After raising three girls of his own, he helped raise Beverly’s three daughters.  He loved all his girls and taught them many life lessons. He was a wonderful bonus Dad and was dearly loved.

In 2014 Glenn and Bev decided to be “farmers”. They bought a small alfalfa farm near Loving and had lots of fun adventures on the farm. He made the hardest things seem so simple, easy, and fun. From his younger years until later in life he loved the simple things. He loved the mountains, wildlife, family, and friends.

After his retirement in 2017 they purchased a property near Weed, NM where they eventually made their home.  He loved being in the mountains and always said that being in the mountains felt like being a little closer to heaven.  He enjoyed the peace and quiet and watching the wildlife. Glenn enjoyed being a part of the Weed Baptist Church where he and Beverly met so many sweet and caring good friends.

Glenn was diagnosed in April of 2017 with Stage 4 cancer.   He had numerous invasive surgeries, radiation, immunotherapy, and many rounds of chemotherapy. After being in remission for nearly 5 years, the cancer returned twice. After a courageous battle, we are heartbroken but also at peace that he is now in the arms of Jesus. We are so thankful for how he loved and lived and that we will get to see him again in Heaven.

Glenn was preceded in death by his mother and father, stepdaughter Michelle Stoltzfus, father-in-law Thurman “Tooks” Ballard, and nephew Robert Schrock.
