He was a registered Tribe member of Pueblo of Acoma and 100% Native American. Glenn was raised in Barstow, California by his adopted parents who were members of Pueblo of Acoma also and spent most of his summers on the reservation with family. His father was a mechanic on Sante Fe Railroads and created a better life for their family in California. Glenn completed high school in Barstow and got an associate’s degree in electrical engineering from ITT Trade School. He moved to Wichita Kansas after the death of his adopted parents and continued in a career of fast food, restaurant management and general mechanics. Glenn and Jennifer were married December 10, 2007 and established the goal of, uniting the family across the United States while re-establishing his Native American Heritage. Family was Glenn’s heart. He adopted so many brothers and sisters throughout the years as he became the “brother from another mother” to so many young men and women, teaching them basic maintenance, repair and how to survive in this world with lifelong skills as the “fix-it man”.

His pride and joy were his children and the accomplishment in remodeling and repair on their purchased home. He loved his garage and his repair station. So many friends were helped by him. Glenn's relaxing times were watching old movies and singing to oldies while working in his garage. He also loved volunteering for Northwest High School for over 7 years while his son and family were involved in sports. Glenn and his wife Jennifer founded JG Accessories, while direct selling Paparazzi Jewelry. They have started their own empire of team members by creating Victorious Bling Team under JG Accessories. Many new friends and weekend “family” bonds have been formed by working in entrepreneur sales. This extended family has been such a blessing and support for Glenn and Jennifer these past 5 years.

In memory of Glenn, the family request that you wear any Notre Dame attire to celebrate the love that “G” had for the team.

Memorials may be made in Glenn’s name to a charity of your choosing.
