Glenn was born on November 2, 1953 in Beaumont, Texas, the first
of three children in his family. He was a 1972 graduate of French High School in Beaumont. Afterwards, he attended Lamar University Trade School and worked at Overhead Door Company. He soon married his high school sweetheart, Susie where they bought a home on Lewis Drive in Beaumont. In 1976, they had a daughter, Kristy, and three years later moved to Kountze, Texas where they built a home in the country and welcomed a son, Kevin. Glenn worked as a construction supervisor for his family-owned company Burk-O Construction and later Allco Construction. He had a knack for building just about anything you can imagine including contributions to Susie’s mercantile passions. Glenn had a beautiful way of truly appreciating nature. He was an avid hunter and fisherman who could spend all day in the woods, or on the lake and was a long-time member of the Beaumont Bass Club. His love of nature was passed down to his kids and grandkids. Glenn was always a positive and calm presence in the lives of his family and friends. He was a loving father and husband, who would do anything for Susie and his kids. He was bathed in grace and a champion of kindness.
