It is with the deepest sorrow to announce the passing of Glenn at the age of 59. He had fought a brave battle against cancer but had lost the war. He passed away peacefully at home with loved ones by his bedside.

A Celebration of life will be held at the Viscount Gort Hotel on March 29th, 2026 from 1 to 4 PM.

Glenn is survived by his Partner Dalmar (Del); Mother Astrid; Brother Blair; Daughter Paige; Grand Daughter Gia; Niece Samantha & Nephew Logan; as well as his furry feline family Xena & Tiffany. He was predeceased by his father William in 2022.

We would like to extend our thanks to his many friends, especially Andy, Johnny, James, Pat, Sean, and Dean who have kept in touch during his illness.

Glenn was born in Winnipeg and grew up in the west end part of the city. He attended Greenway, General Wolfe and Tech Voc schools, and was active in sports, sponge hockey, football, tennis at Orioles Community Club. He made many lifelong friends along the way! After graduating from Tech Voc Glenn worked for a while welding, repairing and maintaining equipment, he did this for a short period of time.

He changed career paths and decided to go to Red River Community College where he studied and became an apprentice HVAC technician. He did this for a few years while working in the industry, eventually he received his journeyman ticket, this was a very proud time.

Glenn went to Thompson to work for a while then returned to Winnipeg, he enjoyed his work with various companies and many of his coworkers became his friend as Glenn had a great sense of humor and was fantastic to be around. He retired in May 2026. Glenn was the go-to person when his family and friends had problems with their furnace and air conditioner. He loved working as a HVAC technician and took pride in his work.

He loved to travel to warmer climates during the colder months. He also enjoyed his weekend trips down to the United States to check out concerts as he loved listening to all different types of music.

Glenn became a boxing enthusiast and decided to take up boxing at the Pan Am Boxing Club. There he made new friends. In addition, he attended many boxing events in Las Vegas and had a passion for the sport of boxing.

Glenn will be deeply missed by all and remembered with love. Glenn cherished all of his friendships dearly.

Thank you to the palliative care team who took great care of Glenn at home.
