Glenn,  

You were one of the best of us.  Humble and kind, a true professional.  I truly enjoyed serving with you on the 166th AVN BDE staff and enjoyed keeping up with you after our careers parted.  Be at peace brother.  Your life, service, and faith serve as an example to us all....

I loved this guy! He was such a wonderful person, husband-- father-- and leader. He fit right in to our family. Always called me Gigi..loved my grandkids and loved us . He was such a rare treasure. He will be so dearly missed! Dance with Jesus Glen! 💖💖💖

Glen, 

Thank you for being an honorable man, a good friend, and a Child of God. I'm grateful you had the opportunity to visit NMMI and share your words of wisdom during the NMMI SROTC Dining In. The Cadets and Cadre will be forever grateful. 

Mark Twain once said, "The two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."  For you, your "why" is when you assumed responsibility for being the Professor of Military Science at Marion. I pray the Marion Cadets and 2LTs understand how dedicated you were to their professional development and the influence you have on the Army through them.

Of course, the gang had a ton of fun out on the farm while at TTU. Lots of laughs and some “we are brothers” kind of moments too. But I have a memory of Glen that, though I can’t recall many details, is one of those “feeling” memories. I remember my feeling in that moment. Glen and I were having a conversation in the kitchen and, for the first time, it went beyond everyday chit-chat to a place of sharing real emotion. It was a spiritual conversation if I recall and full of honesty. In that moment, I remember thinking, “This is a good guy. He loves the Lord, and I want to be his friend.” The rest of the time as roommates out at the farm just confirmed that initial realization, and I am blessed to have had the privilege of knowing Glen and spending that time with him. 

Glen was a true professional, and truly an asset to the Army. I worked with him in the HQDA G-3/5/7, and as part of the AFPAK Hands program. 
While he was attending NDU, Glen would stop by the Pentagon and we would talk for hours about the merits of the AFPAK Hands program and his thesis.
He will be missed by all that knew him. My condolences to his family. May he Rest In Peace.

I had the honor of getting to know Glen while serving as the 1st Brigade SROTC Executive Officer. I had the chance to visit Glen at Marion Military Institute (MMI) on several occasions, and most recently, saw him during the annual brigade workshop in Charlotte, North Carolina. One evening, we had the opportunity to have a fantastic dinner together with some of the brigade senior leadership at a place called Fin and Fino (A Social Seafood House). It was weird! But, we ate some very unique seafood that night, and Glen and I marveled at what we were eating - being adventurous. We ate everything that we had on our plates, but on numerous dishes looked at each other as if to say, “what in the world are we eating?!” I will miss talking to Glen about command and staff slides, our children, our families, and the future. Glen was a great guy and I’ll miss him very much. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Renfree family and all who knew and cherished Glen’s friendship.

Greetings all who knew and loved Glen -  

I first met Glen as part of the III Corps Artillery Staff.  

He was a model young officer who was caring, considerate, and extremely competent.  

I admired his commitment to his family and role as a professional, a loving  husband and a caring father.   

Michelle and I share our deepest sympathies to Glen and his family.   

We are better for having known Glen and his family! 

				With fond memories, JT and Michelle Smith


Jennifer:
I am so saddened to learn of Glen’s passing.  Forming the Corps Artillery team for deployment was one of the more memorable times of my days in uniform.  Included in those memories is Glen and the group of young Captains that joined the team.  I always admired Glen, his professionalism…his work ethic…his devotion to God, Family, and Country.  And as I watched him continue serving in the years that followed, my pride of him only grew.  Glen fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.  My thoughts are with you and your children as you navigate the difficult days ahead.  


On behalf of the Southeast Texas Patriot Guard Riders, I would like to extend our condolences for the loss of LTC Renfree, a true American Hero. 

It was my honor to be plane side when LTC Renfree arrived in Houston, and to lead our Flag Bikes and non flag bikes in escorting LTC Renfree and family to American Heritage Funeral Home. 

We stand ready to continue our mission in honoring LTC Renfree and his family for funeral services and internment at Houston National Cemetery.  

Thank you Mrs. Renfree for allowing the Patriot Guard Riders to honor your husband.  God bless you and your children.

Sincerely,

Roy A Duke
Assistant Deputy State Ride Captain

I remember meeting Glen and his family  while they were stationed in S.Korea. He was always so respectful, kind, and had a wonderful smile. You could see the love he had for his family and Jesus. He was a great worship leader as well,  at West Casey Chapel. I’m grateful and thankful to have had the opportunity to serve with him and his family.  Much love and prayers to all the family. God Bless.❤️

One of our fondest memories of Glen was when he was around four or five.  His dad, mom, Wayne, and I were sitting downstairs talking when we saw Glen come down the stairs and go into the kitchen in stealth mode.  We then saw him exit the kitchen and head up the stairs. His mom asked him what he had in his hand. He slowly turned around and held out his hands and innocently said “nothing”.  He nearly choked on the cookie he had stuffed in his mouth. Needless to say the four of us burst out laughing.  He just smiled at us. 

I had the privilege to worship with Glen in Iraq. Two hi lights during that time are  when we played with Mac Powell of the contemporary Christian band, Third Day and bringing in the new year (2008) with a large worship service inside Sadam Hussein’s  Al Faw Palace. 

Glen was the worship leader of our team and was exactly right for that roll. I am deeply saddened that Glen has passed but am extraordinarily grateful for having played worship music with him. Most of all, I am happy for Glen as I know he is with our Savior for eternity.

The Renfree family remains in my prayers.

Jim Stanton

I will never forget Glen’s enthusiastic leading of worship at Dayspring. He was such a breath of fresh air. I loved his heart for Jesus and his heart for his family. I’m so sorry for your loss but can’t wait to worship with him in heaven. Praying God eases your pain and sadness and replaces it with joy beyond measure. You are in our prayers.
