LACONIA ---- Michael Wayne Glines 67, passed away on July 1, 2025 after fighting a brave and exhausting battle with Parkinson's Disease.
He was born in Laconia, the son of John H. and Aida M. (Bourque) Glines, Jr.
A native of the Lakes Region, Michael graduated from Laconia High School. He continued his education at New Hampshire Community Technical Institute and the University of New Hampshire where he earned his bachelor's degree in engineering.
Michael was a prestigious electrical engineer, who developed fiber optical test equipment and managed many projects. He was proud of his accomplishments and his family.
With a lifelong passion for the outdoors and everything nature, Mike was enthusiastic about collecting and studying rocks and gems. He had a joy for skiing, hiking, motorcycles, martial arts and photography. Mike had a love for animals, especially German shepherds, always having one by his side. Music would always be playing in his household and was the spirit of his being.
Michael will be remembered by those who knew him best as a fun, yet gentle and kind person who took care to watch over others. He made a difference to the many people he met on his life's journey. His attitude and spirit were a gift to all.
A very special thank you to the entire staff at the Belknap County Nursing Home.
Family members include two sons Cory Glines and Jesse Glines and two daughters Mika Glines and Jayda Lynn Glines; three grandchildren Zoe, Jaxon, and Ginny and sisters Gale (husband, Dennis) Ouellette, Linda Ouellette, and Debra Glines.
