Tommy John Glazier

Tommy (Tom) John Glazier was born January 5, 1943, to Marvin and Eileen (Garms) Glazier in Kingfisher, OK, and left his earthly home on July 15, 2025, at the age of 82.

He graduated from Loyal High School in 1961 and furthered his education, receiving an electronics degree in 1962. Tom served in the Army Reserves from 1964 and was honorably discharged April 30, 1970.

Tom and Cheryl (Shortie) Ann Wehrenberg were married on May 8, 1965, at the Loyal Evangelical Church in Loyal, OK.

Both, Tom & Shortie’s lives were rich with a love for agriculture, the Lomega community, and their family.

Tom was a dedicated farmer, proud supporter of the FFA, and served in many local and state capacities over the years, including the Oklahoma Wheat Growers Association, Oklahoma Wheat Commission, Lomega School Board (for twenty years) as well as the Lomega Lions Club.

Tom was awarded the Honorary State FFA Degree. He was especially proud of his children and grandchildren who thrived in the FFA.

Tom would always be one of the first ones at the co-op in the morning enjoying his cup of coffee and honey bun. While also holding his own in any card game that took place, especially those involving pitch.

Tom greatly enjoyed anything related to Lomega Public Schools. He always cheered loud for the Lomega Raiders basketball teams, and you could always count on him to have the same two seats. His adventures—especially those shared with Mike Witt and Gayle Hajny during pig-buying season—was always full of stories worth retelling. In his later years, he became an avid OKC Thunder fan and shared several memories with his cherished friend Linda Hill by his side.

He went by many names—Dad, Papa Tom, Grandpa, Sparkplug, and Turtle—each one a tribute to the bonds he formed and the life he lived. He took pride in all things related to his grandchildren, he loved so dearly. He loved watching his grandchildren grow up and took joy in all they did.

Tom is survived by his son Stacy Glazier, of Loyal, OK and his children, Cody Glazier and wife Destinee Graham, Cali and husband Gage Heath & their son Grant, Trey John Glazier, and Rhett Glazier; son Kyle Glazier and wife Sheri, of Loyal, OK, and their children Kol and Gentri Ann Glazier; daughter-in-law, Lori Glazier of Omega, OK, and her children, Whitney and husband Garrett Parker & their soon to be born daughter, and Rylee Glazier; sisters-in-law Ona Gay Glazier, Karen Littlefield, and Janet Wehrenberg; brother-in-law Eddie Wehrenberg; and numerous nieces and nephews.
