I remember when Barbara called me and said “Now you can call him ‘Uncle Glenn’ “ when they had gotten married. He will be missed and was a good man! Praying for my sweet Aunt Barbara and the rest of the family.

Elvin Glenn Compton, 78, of Bassett, Virginia, passed away on Thursday, August 21, 2025. He was born on December 31, 1946, in Willis, Virginia, to the late E. Harold Compton and Ethel Carroll Compton. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Anita Branch, and his brother, Donald Compton.
Elvin was a devoted member of Bassett Church of the Brethren. He worked as a security guard until becoming disabled. A true jack of all trades, he especially enjoyed his work in furniture upholstery. Elvin had a deep love for football and was an avid supporter of the Indianapolis Colts. He cherished time spent with his grandchildren and took great joy in spoiling them. Known for his generous spirit, Elvin was always willing to lend a helping hand. He also had a passion for music, particularly oldies, classic country, and hits from the 1960s.
He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Barbara Compton; his son, David Compton; granddaughter, Lyric Compton; three stepdaughters, Jennifer Cave, Mary Allen, and Jessica Hernandez; and a special step-grandson whom he helped raise, Jacob Harris. He is also survived by his sister, Jean Watts; several step-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
