Duane Thomas Glenn

Duane Thomas “Tom” Glenn passed away in Covenant Hospital in Lubbock, TX on Friday, November 18, 2016, at the age of 54. All of his three children maintained a constant vigil at his bedside in the hospital. His death was due to a massive stroke, caused by atrial fibrillation. Tom grew up in lower Michigan. He became a Christian at the young age of 8. In 1978, we moved to Roswell, where Tom graduated from Roswell High School in 1980. Tom was a natural-born mechanic, he could fix almost anything. As a toddler, Tom often played by himself, always able to amuse himself. At the age of four, he liked to watch his dad working on the car and was very interested in how things went together. Tom went to work for Dodge in Roswell at the age of eighteen. He had applied at almost all the other dealerships in town and was rejected for lack of experience. When he applied, he offered to work for free if they would give him a chance. He was given a two-week trial period with pay by Al Raby, the owner at the time. He was there for 31 years when he finally went into business for himself. What a fun person to be around, Tom always had a witty comeback when joking around with his family and friends. He had many friends here in Roswell. Tom, you will be missed by all your family and friends. He will always be very much loved by his parents, sisters, brother and his wonderful, beloved children. After losing his beloved wife, Sherry (Glass) Glenn in February of 2015, Tom grieved and visited her grave at least once a week and often, more. After her death, his children became the center of his life. Those left to cherish the memory of Tom are his parents, Duane Glenn and Sally Glenn; brother, Todd Randall Glenn; sisters, Bonnie Mayes and Sarah Nguyen; daughters, Shelby Glenn, Shiann Glenn; and son, Dugen Glenn; and many, many aunts, uncles and cousins. Funeral services for Tom will be on Tuesday, November 29, 2016, 1:00 PM at Anderson Bethany Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will follow at South Park Cemetery. Chosen to honor Tom as Pallbearers are: Kohl Studdard, Randall Glenn, Eddie Glass, Anthony Lucero, Danny Turner, and Ky Studdard. We wish to thank all of Tom’s wonderful customers in this area, not only for their friendship, but for their concern and the kindness towards Tom and to us. We also wish to thank the Calvary Chapel and their wonderful members for all the help they have been to the children and to us since their mother’s death and now Tom’s death. We have genuinely felt their love. Obituary loving written by Tom’s family.
