GLEN WHISENHUNT Obituary

GLEN WHISENHUNT Glen David Whisenhunt, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and lifelong Oklahoman, passed peacefully into heaven on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at the age of 73. Just hours earlier, Glen's cherished wife, Nancy Ellen Whisenhunt, also passed - reunited now for eternity in the Kingdom of Heaven. Glen was born in Oklahoma City and raised in the town of Maud, Okla., and later made Konawa his final home. A man of deep faith, Glen lived his life with kindness, warmth, and generosity. He was a devoted family man, a proud father to many, a loving grandfather and great-grandfather, and a faithful brother. He was passionate about many things, especially classic 1950's Chevrolet cars, and never missed a chance to cheer on his beloved OU Sooners. Glen is survived by his loving sister, Patricia Fletcher, and her husband Joel, along with their son and grandchildren, his brother Jerry Austin of Vernon Texas his sons and daughter and his grandchildren; his son Rickey Whisenhunt and his husband Wayne of Shawnee; his daughter Tammy Remington of Maud; two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; his son William Whisenhunt, Ada, Okla., his daughter Alisa Kronshage of Round Lake, Ill., and her children; his daughter Lisa Gibson and her daughter; his son Joseph Costa of Shawnee and his son Ethan Costa; his son Joshua Costa of Broken Arrow, Okla., and his three daughters; and many extended family members who loved him dearly. The family will be holding a private memorial service to honor Glen and Nancy's life and legacy. Though he is no longer with us, Glen's faith, love, and steady presence will be remembered and cherished always. He and Nancy leave behind a legacy of devotion, strength, and unwavering love.

Glen was a very kind and gentle soul. I grew up friends with his son Will. We would help do farm chores. I even worked for them on the farm here and there. Glen would hide the keys to almost everything and Nancy would ask me to persuade Glen to hand them over. They were both very kind to me and they will be missed. Rest in Peace.
