Glenn Edward Goodin

Glenn E. Goodin was surrounded by his family as he placed his cowboy hat back on and saddled up one last time to ride back to the gates of heaven on January 15, 2017, 12:13 p.m. in results to his long and fighting battle of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Glenn Goodin and Helen K. Bruhl-Liston on December 15, 1943.

Glenn’s life was the epitome of remarkable. Glenn was an avid life long horse lover. He trained race horses around the western hemisphere. In his younger years, Glenn served the United States Army for two years following six years with the National Guard. Glenn retired from Kennicott Copper where he worked at the smelter. After retirement, Glenn reverted back to his love of horses where he dedicated his time as a trainer and the Outrider of Wyoming downs.
