Glenn Burres Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Glenn dedicated his life to fighting fire, first volunteering in South Blooming Grove, NY. He then served as a firefighter in City of Newburgh, New York rising thru the ranks from 1987 to 2007, eventually serving as Deputy Chief. He loved the job and his "brothers" until the day he died.
The next phase of his life brought him to Killington, Vermont, where he created a new family of friends and had his daughter Kaitlyn. His greatest joy in life was skiing with Kaitlyn.
Glenn is survived by his daughter Kaitlyn of Woodstock, VT, his parents Sherman and Jerilyn Burres of Ormond Beach, FL, sisters Dawn Feria (Alex) and Tara Lagarde of Palm Coast, FL. He is also survived by nephews Tyler (Alyssa) and Cody Vervalin; Colin, Trevor, Zemi Lagarde and niece Madison Lagarde; and many cousins, aunts, uncles and extended family.
Kaitlyn requests that contributions be made in his name to Pathways Vermont which assists Vermonters to access mental health and rehabilitation services Pathways Vermont Giving Day 2025 – Pathways Vermont or the IAFF Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Treatment and Recovery which offers similar services to Firefighters IAFF Center of Excellence – Rehab & Treatment for Fire Fighters.

I've known Glenn since we were 14 or 15 years old. From those early days, it was clear that he was not just a friend but a truly special person.
Glenn had a heart of gold and would go to great lengths for anyone he considered a friend. He was always there ready to lend a hand or share a laugh. Our high school and college years were filled with unforgettable memories, shared with a close-knit group we fondly called "The Boys" and "The Girls." Though life took many of us in different directions, Glenn and a few of us remained pretty close. Glenn's passing is a devastating loss, not only to us, his friends, but even more so to his family. My deepest condolences to Glenn's parents, sisters, and daughter. Rest in peace, Glennard. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Glenn and I met 40 years ago in college. I became close to this entire family. I was so shocked when I heard of Glenn´s passing.
I am thinking of all of you during this very difficult time and will continue to pray for you.

Glenn was a great friend of mine throughout High School. We wrestled together and our families spent countless hours sitting in gym stands over the years. Although life separated afterwards I always considered Glenn a great friend.
The last I heard from Glenn was on the day of my son Connor's funeral. We both cried during the phone conversation and I wish we had more time to catch up. If I had only known that would be our last conversation I would have had plenty more to talk about.
I hope you can meet my son Connor in haven and he will have plenty to say about me for sure. Love you Glenn.
