BRENTWOOD — Martin Joseph Glockner, Jr., (JR Glockner), 32, of Brentwood, Tennessee, passed away at his residence on February 8, 2019. JR was born in Portsmouth, Ohio, on April 23, 1986, to Molly Apel Glockner and Martin Joseph Glockner, who survive him. JR is also survived by his sister, Anne Margaret Glockner, his wife, Leslie (Smith) Glockner, his step-son, Paxton Smith, his grandfather, William Apel, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. JR was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother Betty Lu Apel and his paternal grandparents William and Jean Glockner.

JR graduated from Portsmouth High School in 2005 and was co-valedictorian of his class. While in high school, he was an outstanding athlete playing football and baseball. JR attended Ohio Wesleyan University and Ohio University, before completing his Associate of Applied Business degree and PGA apprentice certification through The Golf Academy of America in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. JR was passionate about golf and taught lessons and clinics for all ages at the Elks Country Club and country clubs on the southeastern coast. Besides golf, JR was an accomplished musician, playing guitar and drums. He enjoyed singing and entertaining everyone with his music.
