Glen "Michael" Hammer Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 14, 2025.
Glen "Michael" Richard Hammer, age 87, went to be with the Lord on November 11, 2025.

Michael proudly served his country as a member of the United States Air Force before building a successful career as a business owner, operating multiple retail stores throughout his life. He was known for his strong work ethic, his kindness, and his steady presence to all who knew him.

Michael had a deep love for animals-especially his beloved dog, Sally. He found joy in the quiet beauty of the mountains, spending many cherished days in Pigeon Forge, and escaping to Florida when the winter cold settled in. His warmth, humor, and gentle spirit touched many lives.

He is preceded in death by his parents, George and Elsie Hammer, and by his brother Wayne Hammer and sister Carol and husband Bill Rice.

Michael is survived by his loving wife, Mary Moore Hammer; brother Sandy (Linda) Hammer; daughters Delena Hammer and Michelle Hammer; stepdaughter Loniann (Shawn) Farris; stepson Tyler Moore; sister-in-law Shirley Hammer; and granddaughter Addison Farris.

A Funeral Service will be held at Sherwood Chapel and Memorial Gardens on Monday, November 17, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., with entombment to follow.

Michael will be remembered with love and gratitude by all who were blessed to share in his life.
