Glenn worked for the State of Arkansas with the Highway Department. He loved the Lord with all his heart and was a member of Salem United Methodist Church.

Preceding Glenn in death are his parents. He leaves behind to cherish his memory his loving wife of 39 years, Lydia Cheatham of Benton, Arkansas; daughter, Stephanie Gilbert and husband Nathan of Bauxite, Arkansas; sister, Wanda Cheatham of Bartlett, Tennessee; and many family members and friends who love Glenn and will miss him always.
