Glenn was born at home on April 3, 1938, in Lincoln County, TN, to the late Van Buren Currin and Helen Pauline Commons Currin. A 1956 graduate of Central High School in Fayetteville, he served his country in the United States Army. Glenn spent his entire career in the electrical industry, working as a lineman for Fayetteville Electric, TVA, AEDC, and Redstone Arsenal.
A lifelong member of Fayetteville First Baptist Church, Glenn was deeply committed to his faith and community. He was known for his love of the outdoors and was an avid hunter and gun enthusiast. Glenn also enjoyed woodworking, telling stories, and cheering on the Atlanta Braves and the Tennessee Volunteers. He was a proud American, a devoted Lincoln Countian, and a man who never met a stranger. He was dearly loved by all who knew him. Glenn passed away on June 27, 2025, at HH Lincoln Health in Fayetteville.
