Glen was a loving, caring, husband, father, brother, grandfather, and great grandfather. Glen was a friend to many and will be missed by all that knew him. He was a member of Church on the Rock in Shreveport and enjoyed music, especially playing the harmonica and guitar. He was always available to listen and share his thoughts in a friendly conversation with friends, but his greatest joy was spending time with his musical friends and family.

Surviving Glen is his loving and caring wife of 71 years, Wilma Edison of Shreveport, LA; daughters, Gloria Butler (Ronnie), Diana Adair (James), and Wanda and Donnie Ruff; brother, Bob Carlton; and sister, Janet King. He is preceded in death by his mother Mildred Carlton.

Pallbearers will be Delmer Meadows, Ralph Patterson, Gene Pace, Josh Butler, Curtis Brooks, Brandon Butler, and Samantha McClure. Honorary pallbearer will be Brad Ingles.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Nelson and all the staff at Willis Knighton Pierremont Hospital and the nursing staff of Heritage Manor West in Shreveport.
