GLENN E ROEHL
~Glenn Elvin Roehl, age 59, of Bullhead City, Ariz., passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, March 16, 2014.
~Glenn was born in Cleveland, Ohio on October 22, 1954. His family moved to Calif. in 1955 and he grew up in Ontario, Calif.; graduating from Chaffey High School in 1972. At this same time Glenn was active in the Boy Scouts and earned the highest honor bestowed – The Eagle Scout. However, Glenn was not long for California as his heart and sights were set on the desert, where he loved water and jet skiing on the river and the freedom of the open space. He moved to Bullhead City, Ariz. in 1973.
~Glenn was married to Becky Lynn Roehl (Shoemaker) on September 9, 1991; they were married for 23 years.
~Glenn worked at Southern California Edison (SCE) in Mohave for 33 years, retiring in 2006 when the Mohave Generating Station in Laughlin, Nev. closed. Glenn was an Instrument Technician but also spent a good deal of his time helping his fellow team members as a UWUA Local 246 Union Shop Steward, he was also a lead on the Safety Committee. He was so well respected by the company that SCE asked Glenn to serve as one of their spokespeople in Washington DC to help save the Generating Station.
~Not ready to retire after the Generating Station was closed, Glenn decided to attend Mohave Community College where he earned his air conditioning and refrigeration certification. He went into the home building business while simultaneously continuing to supply power to people – moving from electrical to solar by starting his own solar installation company – Sunquest Solar.
~Glenn was active in his community as a member of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as being involved in many non-profit organizations. Over the years, Glenn served on many local committees, including his most current position as a member of the Bullhead City Planning Commission.
~Glenn is preceded in death by his parents, Glenn A Roehl and Margaret E Roehl.
~Glenn is survived by his wife, Becky and his son, Glenn K. Roehl, who is his business partner in the solar business. He is also survived by his sisters, Holly Roehl and Lorel Roehl; his brother, Garen Roehl; and their families and children.
~A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 a.m.on Monday, April 14, 2014 at the Chamber of Commerce at 1251 Highway 95, Bullhead City, AZ, 86429. Arrangements for Glenn's Celebration of Life are being handled by Desert Lawn Funeral Home & Memorial Garden. Shorts and T-Shirts are welcome.
~In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be given to Bullhead City Animal Control, 2270 Trane Road, Bullhead City, AZ 86442.

Great Man, thank you Glenn, glad that you were still here when I had the solar put in, these other companies don't know what there doing let alone they can't even come service my system, when they do the problem still exist. Anyhow, just wanted to say thanks for your great knowledge.

I met Glenn when he first arrived at Mohave Generating Station, working with him until I retired in 1996. Glenn was an honest, upstanding guy one could always count on. He will be missed by his family, and his community. I just lost my wife, so know what his wife and family must be going through just now. I am saddened by his passing.

So sorry to see this posting. My sincerest sympathies to Glenn's wife and son. Glenn put in my solar system in Needles. I believe I was one of his first customers. Very good and fair businessman.

My thoughts and prayers for his family. I met Glenn many years ago during an outage. He used to stay with the family I babysat for. He was a nice guy who always had a smile for you. I remember he would let me drive his car to store even though I wasn't 16yrs or have a DL. He would say "You need practice driving" and off to the store we went. R.I.P. Glenn.

I have known Glenn for MANY years. I first met him when he was just a young man and he would join all of us Edison people to go boating and skiing!!!! He called me mom.
My heart goes out to all of you. He was such a fine person. R.I.P. Glenn
God Bless all of you.

You have been such a great brother to your sister Lorel - as her friend over all these years, I can't tell you how often I heard about you. Lorel has always been so proud of all that you did for your family, your SCE and Sunquest Solar colleagues, and the community of Bullhead City. We never met, but I feel like I know you - the good that you did in life will not go unnoticed to those who knew you and many, many others, like me, who never even met you.
