Glenn Duda of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, formerly of Homewood, Illinois affectionately known to many as "Big G", passed away peacefully on September 2, 2025. He left behind a legacy of joy, laughter, and the spirit of celebration that truly defined his life. Born on October 4, 1962, Glenn embodied a free spirit whose infectious sense of humor and love for life uplifted everyone around him. His passion for gathering with friends and family created countless cherished memories that will be remembered for years to come. Glenn also had a passion for working out.
Glenn is survived by his beloved family. He is mourned by Anthony (Denise) and Tim (Cathy) who stood by his side through the ups and downs of life. His legacy continues with his adoring nieces and nephews: Nicholas, Katie, Jason (Samantha), Adam, and Bradley, all of whom carry forward his vibrant spirit and zest for life.
Preceding Glenn in death were his parents, Anton and Genevieve Duda, who instilled in him the values of kindness, laughter and faith that he shared so freely throughout his life.
As we remember Glenn, we celebrate the joyous moments spent in his company—the laughter shared, the stories told, and the gatherings often featuring his playful antics. While he may no longer be physically with us, his spirit of fun will forever linger in our hearts.
Glenn was truly one of a kind, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him. May his memory serve as a reminder to embrace life with laughter and an open heart.
A private service will be held for the immediate family.
