Glen was a life-long member of First Baptist Church of Cleveland. He served as a deacon for many years as well as on various committees and as a Sunday school teacher.
Glen accomplished much during his years, but when he gave his life to the Lord at 9 years old, he said it was the most important decision of this life. He served faithfully in his church , in his community and in his home. To know Glen was to love him and he will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Visitation will be on Wednesday, October 16 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at First Baptist Church chapel, with the funeral at 12:00 PM; followed by a graveside service at Candies Creek Church cemetery.
