David Glenz Obituary

David Cudjoe Key - Glenz John Glenz David Glenz, 69, suddenly, while on holiday in Germany, July 12, 2024. Preceded in death by his wife Denise (Wholihan) Jackson-Glenz, parents Emil & Eleanor Glenz, daughter Christina Glenz, and is survived by his two brothers-in-law, Peter (Nicole) and Christopher Wholihan.

Dave is deeply missed. Born in Detroit, his skills opened many pathways and businesses. Dave was generous and willing to help folks out. He had the right tools to solve problems and did so for many. Dave was a trusting soul, sometimes too trusting.

Former owner of The Key West Diner, he ran it with Denise Jackson. They married and were inseparable. Both loved the water, the Keys, along with the friends they shared. When not in the Keys, they traveled the country visiting friends and NASCAR races in their RV, The Beast.

Denise died March 2023. Dave was heartbroken. He left us doing what he loved best, sharing with others. D&D are now Together! Memorial TBA. https://bit.ly/DaveGObit
