Glenn Wales Obituary
It is of the utmost sorrow that I relay, my father, Glenn Wales passed away on Thursday, March 18, 2021, of sudden heart failure. He was 62. Glenn was born in Tempe, Arizona to Jim and Sandra. He was a welder and craftsman by trade and a hang glider and sailplane pilot-in-training, motorcyclist, and scuba diver by hobby. My Dad was an amazing father, friend, and human being who always saw the best in people. In his lifetime, he created two one-of-a-kind businesses and doted after myself and my husband endlessly. Glenn is survived by his mother, Sandra, his brother, Scott, his son-in-law, Daniel, his daughter, Hailee, and his two grand dogs, Amanda and Gabby. To those who knew and loved my father, please know the feeling was mutual. The people in his life made his world go round. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Ocean Conservancy, a charity that my Dad appreciated as they worked to clean our oceans.

I´m just sick to hear of Glenn passing. I´m so sorry for your loss, I just loved your daddy. Actually he was my very first boyfriend, first kiss. We lived on the same street in Scottsdale. He taught me how to run . Track and field and I just had to beat Carrie Abney the fastest girl at Mohave. Your dad and John Prather and Philip Thorne were all very fast. Your dad used to come to my house and pop wheelies out in front of my house when he was riding his Apple Krate bicycle trying to impress me. Oh, and he did, he was the only one in Scottsdale that had that cool bicycle( his dad purchased it for him).
I have such fond memories of him although I hadn´t seen him since you were about 6 yrs old. Today I saw an Apple krate bicycle on e at abd thought of him so I screened shot it abs was going to find him on Facebook and send him the picture, that´s when I saw the post that he was gone. My heart hurts for all of you and Sandy oh gosh. Heaven has a wonderful angel now, I pray you find comfort knowing so many people loved your dad. God bless you and stay strong Love Pam Melton
