Glen Lee Bacus

Wichita Falls - Glen Lee Bacus of Wichita Falls, Texas, formerly of Sudbury, Massachusetts, passed away unexpectedly on October 6, 2025, at the age of 55. He was born on January 23, 1970, in Mountain View, California.

Glen was a man of incredible creativity, warmth, and generosity. His artistic spirit and humor touched everyone who knew him. A gifted painter, Glen poured his heart into his artwork, creating vivid pieces that danced with color and energy. His Pop modernistic style reflected the way he saw the world - full of wonder, imagination, and life. His paintings and art projects, which can be found throughout Wichita Falls, often explored themes of animals, nature, space, time, and pattern, inviting others to see beauty in unexpected places.

Beyond his art, Glen found joy in simple pleasures and lifelong passions. He was an avid collector of baseball cards, each one a treasured link to the game and its history. A devoted fan of all things Boston sports, Glen cheered on his teams with unwavering loyalty and enthusiasm. He loved following every season - the highs, the heartbreaks, and the unforgettable victories. Glen took great joy in watching the Boston Celtics capture their most recent championship, relishing every game and celebrating as if he were right there courtside. He admired the incredible dynasty of the New England Patriots, appreciating not just the wins but the sense of pride and excellence they brought to New England. One of his most cherished memories was attending the 2004 World Series with his brother - witnessing a win in the series when the Red Sox broke the "Curse of the Bambino" after 86 years.

Glen moved to Wichita Falls, TX, in 2001 and built a remarkable 23-year career at KFDX TV-3, where he most recently served as Promotions Director. Through his creativity, eye for design, and deep sense of storytelling, Glen helped shape the station's visual identity and community presence. His colleagues admired his professionalism, humor, and passion for his work - qualities that made every day working with him memorable. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, Glen was honored as the 2024 Employee of the Year, a reflection of the respect and appreciation he earned from everyone around him.

Those who knew Glen will remember his quick wit, mischievous humor, thoughtfulness, and the way he saw the extraordinary in the everyday. Whether he was discussing a new art project, creating a legendary blooper reel, reminiscing over Red Sox, Celtics, and Patriots championships, or sharing a quiet moment with friends, Glen brought light, humor, and creativity into every space he entered.
