GLENN DIERCKS Obituary

GLENN LEWIS DIERCKS
Born December 1, 1947, Glenn left us for the Kingdom of Heaven on December 3, 2025. He was a talented and unique character who served this country with pride and devotion in Vietnam. He was a true Santa Fe New Mexican through and through. Glenn's artistic and philosophical ideals struck all those who knew him and left them with a lasting impression. He was truly a beautiful and caring man. He will be missed greatly but not forgotten.
Glenn is survived by his sister, Sandra A. (Diercks) Ortiz; his two sons, Kether A. Diercks and Toth O. Diercks; and his three grandchildren, Avery Brook Diercks, Ruby Dawn Rose Diercks, and Rowan Leaf Diercks McFarland.
Glenn's memorial will be held on December 23rd at 2:00 p.m. at the Santa Fe National Cemetery.

Glenn and I were friends back in our school days. As I recall, we both grew up in the Casa Alegre neighborhood in Santa Fe. I remember when he returned from Vietnam. We were both in the service about the same time. I lost track of him over the years. Rest in peace, amigo.
